Dragon Raja global balancing issue.

[Noeyesee]

I wanna talk today about balancing every class. Atm, here is my opinion on the best hero in order:

Warrior
Thief
Priest
Mage
Archer

I don't wanna talk about archer since we all know what's going on, and there is other topic about it.

I wanna talk about balancing Mage. Atm, there is pretty much no high level mage except 1-2. Mage used to be playable, in previous server, due to the fact that they got high TT in VD1. In this server, where people can't stay in vd1, and where everyone is high level with ENDU, mage are UNPLAYABLE.

They have a bad matchup against:

Warrior
Priest
Thief
and a well rared archer.

Rare are very easy to get in this server. Mage are totally shut down when the oppenant play resist. Give anyone a g8 evasion item and mage won't kill anyone. I do believe mage need a BUFF. They are very versatile, very fun, and very easy to solo with. However, they are not viable in end game playing.

I don't really want to see their dammage buffed tbh, but i want them to be worked out. In wars, they are somehow useless with priest and thief.

My sugestion atm about it:

Upgrade mage hp by a little
Lower stone magic resistance in wars
Change their way of leveling.


What is your opinion? Any sugestion or thought?

My suggestion is putting the mage char away

and start a new char on Thief or Warrior

No
Yes
Vd3 has a good klattu pit so its not that bad to level there, just the expenses to keep going to it adds up, but with the upgradeable SCs, it wont be that bad, and vd1 is superior for mages to level but vd2/3 are still decent, just like thieves, its better to stay vd1 just like mages but are able to adopt a little better to vd2/3 than mages. Outside of vd (for lvl 125+) it would suck to be a mage, because there are no pits to level in and it would be painfully slow to lvl on succubus, but maybe there will be a solution to that inside the badlands

Totally agree with noeyesee, im playing mage, when war time, sux big time.

archer & thief running on your screen with high speed (like speed hack) only they can target and kill you, you're not able to target em

[Tsukasa]

i think should decrease mage spell dmg

[metriod]

Indeed, endgame content kinda sucks for mage.
Cant properly blast high mobs, cant do dmg on boss mobs, cant blast stones.
And apparently after VD1 there isnt a place for mages to lvl properly either? 0.o

I agree that mages needs a BUFF.
As for resist rare and endu, mages have basic resist.
However, we dont have anything against evasion rares. Unlike smart rares, there is accurate to counter it but we mages dont have any rares to counter evasion rares. And since mages have 2 other dual class symbol which are useless (archmage and tzigane), maybe they can something like magic accuracy for those symbol? Then we will have more type of dual classes rather than warlock and gw only.

Also, spell dmg on stone during war for mages really suck.

1. Upgrade mage hp by a little
2. Lower stone magic resistance in wars
3. Change their way of leveling.

1. Don't think its needed really. I'd like endu have a bit less effect instead since everyone is high lvl here with high endu.
2. Yes. Also remove resist from gazer and lower it on quest monsters.
3. Upgradeable SC would help alot, but dont know how to lvl after vd3.

[warringirc]

why talk about class?talk about some nation got very less ppl play.

1. no
2. yes
3. if mages have max tt, they can leech. but max tt is at lv140, so between 125-140lv is a question to mage lvling.
