Mages are not your slaves...

If their are noobs died near fire grates, I usually rez them with careful timing that by the time they get up, they will get the 'boom' and go sleeping again. Usually 2-3 times, they know they better 're-spawn' and start walking! LOL.

Good to give noobs some lessons~

Tip of the day- if a mage you are playing with isn't performing as he/she should, send a quick and friendly PRIVATE message. This applies to all character groups really. You would be amazed at the response. People appreciate that courtesy and usually give you better results.

This is the best way to deal with it. I had guy once in Hideout PM me during a run asking me to please stop using firestorm because it "broke" his combos. I said no but offered to leave instead of being booted. He said nah. Issue resolved with no hurt feelings. Very civil and it ended up being a good run.

Wow, Panda, if someone told me how to spend my plat, I'd be mad.
Luckily I haven't had anyone really order my mage around. But then the players I've been finding recently have all been really sweet: Everyone waits for each other, etc.

And as I've been playing in PUGs recently... I still say: people in PL are really nice.

We generally are.

Really annoying when someone separates from the group, dies, and demands to be rez'd right away. Like I really want to waste time trying to figure out which corner they decided to go die in.

I always tell people if they want heal or res they need to stay with the party, because I go with the "split" that has more people. Not with me, I'm not responsible for you because I'm not spending 10 minutes running around looking for you while letting others possibly die.

I was doing runs a day back and there was this guy that died about every 30 seconds. Every time he died he would say " hurry up and rev me now Mage!" after the third rev, when he died again I walked over to him and started using dance emote ontop of him....... I was booted

You were right, he was wrong. Period.

i get pretty sick too!
rez, heal. .....
i always tell them its my job as a mage (pally) so I KNOW

The most annoying is when another mage who separated from the group and died does it. I grit my teeth IRL and tell them that I don't know where they died, and how they'd feel having to res a lost straggler. Gets the point across usually.




BTW I don't know anybody in my friends list who's used the 1 plat res in a party with me unless I was on a death run. People I play with know how I play. They always stay silent while we clear around them because asking for res in a fight is sometimes along to be killed again.

I feel your pain.... Except I run into the middle of the mob and kill everything and grind in any dungeon.. But I don't like impatient people

I haven't played my mage in a while, but I miss being the one to make sure people are upright and at good health. It's the job of the mage to do this. Sure. there's HP potions and whatnot, but revving and healing huge amounts of HP are the thing that mages do that other cannot. Birds ruin a targets ability to withstand damage, bears can toss around targets like ragdolls, and mages bring people to life. All the classes has their ways of dealing with bosses and trash mobs, but when it's the only thing you NEED to be able to do, do it right.

AKA: always be spamming heal, and always rev. If your group is slowing down, someone's not doing their job correctly, and it's most likely a mage. There's usually more than one mage, which means nobody should be down on HP for long.....which makes me very angry when I'm on my bird, in full SK (85 armor), and I don't' get heals from either of the two mages because they're playing tank or archer roles.

I'm tired of having to switch into Drainers to survive when there's 2 mages in the group. IMO the group gets what it deserves when my damage output goes from 90% damage on mob groups to 20% or so, just so I can live to see the boss. Sometimes it gets so bad that I switch to a dagger to keep what little aggro I should be getting off of me and onto the non-mages.

When next in that situation, ask yourself why, especially if you're in a group with multiple mages, why there's any deaths to begin with?

[Anonyy]

people should stay close to each other instead of disappearing out of view. but i am with the mages i get fed of those; especially when they are high level always dying. i just wonder if some of them dont use their own pots just to get free rev's in the game.

i was playing sandstone caves with a level 55 or 56 i cant member, a level 38 mage, and me. We were on Sandstorm the boss when a little dust storm came in and everybody kinda backed into one of the corners with the orb. The dust thing killed everybody instantly except me lol. And i was the on with the least hp...So im just like f...cuz everything targets me. but my team isnt saying a thing so i wasnt focused on them. Then i rezd em and theyre like TY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Register]

and this other time in the swamps i was with 2 other mages and they both die at the same time lol...
The entire mob targets me and before i could even put my finger down to spam pots while my rez cools down i was dead.
When I die like that....I...I...I GO NUCLEAR

There is one particular player (name begins with a C) that had a rant at me because he died right near the ent of Stronghold after getting blown back by the firepit, so *naturally* I assumed he'd respawn being so close to ent, but nooooo he ranted firstly at all of us for not sticking closer to him, then at me for not running back to rez him. And then, just in case I didn't get the message the first time, he did it all over again, so I said, you know what?.......Play by yourself. Just like you would to the bully in the sandpit. And since then I have avoided any game with that particular player in. I have even apologised to a group when I've joined but I just will not play with someone that ignorant. For every PL jerk, there are 10 really great people and great players out there, and I have some wonderful PL friends. That's the message I take with me

[SUPAPRODIGY]

My mage is only lvl 30 and I play mostly in swamps. I actually prefer it when someone says "res" or "help" or something when they're dead. I think it's because the "floor" of the swamps is green but I have a hard time seeing where the dead people are with a ton of mobs around and the fireworks of combos going off. I can see from the exclamation mark that someone is dead but I have a hard time finding them...But no one dies in my group as long as they stay close to me because i keep everyone buffed and spam heals while nuking everything in sight!

Ok, i will make a "rez plz" button. My bear usually waits quietly as long as it takes.

When I play my enchanter, i leave the map up so I can see the little triangles of party members. If someone dies I look for a triangle that's not moving. Sometimes it takes a while to find the body. Some dead mobs look *exacly* like dead party members. And, I hate when the body is on a fire trap in the sewers. Rev... dies again... rev...

I don't really like the mother hen part of being a mage. Constantly watching to make sure all the little chicks are safe is not my thing, but I do what i can. I rather kill stuff :-)
