Prior to what some people are making it out to be, I am a member of the Avalon clan on Morrigan, I'm not in the beta, and no they don't share what's going on in it so I got no clue how Beta's going. That said I have no clue what's going on in terms of testing classes and changes to them.
I know before Beta officially began there were overly dramatic threads out to make it seem like DPS class such as Rogue were broken and casters were overpowered. I read another thread talking about beta testing and one today mentioning nerfing of mages. I got no clue why this was mentioned or what they're testing in beta. But please don't use overly dramatic situations as the basis for changing classes especially casters.
I see absolutely NO reason to nerf mages the way they are. Mages now are playable. Sure a mage can beat other dps classes in CERTAIN situations. But if anything fix what's wrong with the other classes. Rogue has skills that are broken? Fix them. Fix what's wrong with the rogue skills. Don't nerf a mage because somethings wrong with a rogue. Fix the rogue class.
I noticed a few patches ago they made changes to accuracy and hit percentage of a caster's spells. As a 150+ mage, missing multiple times on Aggragoth? Okay. Maybe. 8 times a firebolt misses in a row? That makes no sense. Maybe a 130 and under mage trying a firebolt on Aggragoth should miss that many times, but a mage that's over the level of the boss? Don't get it. And to be missing multiple times in a row on a minor boss or mob that you have a 100+ level advantage over? I don't see the sense in that but yes it happens in game. It's what we put up with though. No problem. Fix it or don't fix it I'm used to it by now.
But with stuff like the spell hit accuracy going on, to further nerf us? IF that's what's being considered. I see no sense in it. And YES I'm worried it would affect how playable a mage would be in a day to day normal build. And PLEASE tell me there's a 150+ mage in beta making sure we're still playable if they are considering changes.
