Too soon to tell have to buy books and test every skill and every biuld set up

Just to see OTM working on it is a relief

I figured I would repost patch notes since thread is locked.

It seems like we can call this the Mage patch, but will this make high level mages happy ? I doubt it. Mages want to out dps rogues and rangers and forgo the support roll that otm has put them in .

But let me get this straight, in the last week mages have had recast times reduced, and spell costs reduced as well as what seems to be significant mana management upgrades.

I hope this makes all the mages happy.

Clearly if a class complains enough otm will make changes.

I hope mages are happy. This entire update was basically dedicated to them.

I'm happy for them.

I rarely write on forums tho i read it alot ,so if my mage haveing problem i post here (i rather be lvling in game )

We'll have to wait and see. I haven't played my Mage in a long time but here goes

Yeah, but is it worth it? The class was broken and in a bad way. Also, look how long they complained just for "some" changes to be made. Of course there will be some that complain, but majority will welcome it with open arms. They didn't just pick mage moves, they picked the ones that are mostly used and reworked them.

Great changes, they should make a difference. I don't think it will completely solve the problems but it will make them much less painful to deal with.

Elim,
I am never happy
