Bias!

I saw a new video about the new update.
There was a mage, and he used a meteoric wand. Instead of stabs, the wand shot out bolts.
This is a COMPLETE bias against rangers. Before, they were the only one that can fight from a long distance.
Now, basically everyone can shoot form a long range, which is supposed to be a ranger specialty.
I think that this is indeed unfair, and I hope that you, admin, will fix this.
Please reply as soon as possible!

Thank you so much!
The update looks great!!!

Sincerely,
Calvin

I think it's PERFECTLY fair, cuz bows and wands both can be ranged, and bows are way faster and deal way more dmg. Also, most classes have ranged attacks already not just mages. Fire bolt, ice shards, lightning strike, Sharp shot, storm's touch (correct me if im wrong) are all ranged.

Hope this helps!!

I dont have a ranger or mage but i think its fair.
Mages have in almost every game or mythologic (eg Harry potter) range attacks.
I NEVER saw a mage using his wand like a club (only in CH)
Also mages have only ranged skills, so a meele attack is senseless.

I also think Druids should get the ability of ranged attacks btw.

Only thing that needs a change are the Luxus shop wand i guess.
They costs like 50k and deald 16 heat damage or something. So they would costs much more then a ancient sceptre and would be less powerfull. For sure they need to increase their damage or simple remove this items.

Any class can walk the world of CH shooting snowballs or pumpkins at foes. Who cares?

The range on the wands is purposefully low, it's less than half the range of the worst bow.

This is much more about making the mages feel more in keeping with the magical nature of their class rather than anything to do with making them a super long distance ranged class.

Mages wands do magic damage instead of physical damage which is why it didn't quite feel right for them to be bashing people on the head with the wand lol

Also wands have a slight glow now to show they are magical.

Thanks!

Will the cloak of fire work when you are using the wand against an other ranged enemy?

Yes it does, even now.
