    this change for mage is the worst for players who try to do a STR or DEX mage but decide to quit and be a normal mage the mage character will be so damage that they have to restart as new character.

    yes i have some sympathy for the oddjobs affected as this nukes their build, however this will also set a precedent as people are (were?) no longer receptive to downsides of their choices. dex buccs, luk paladins, beginner mages were never afforded any recourse.

    luk mages on the other hand i extend no sympathy; they are simply bad stewards of their class. this was a buff.

    yeah will be a challenge whoever try to be a luck mage with low magic attack and magic defense. but pure mage aka INTless is more worst and i mean more harder than normal luck mage.

    ps:are you talking to pure luck mage is not who add some INT like 1 or 2 per level right?

    i actually happen to be the largest beneficiary in the case luk mages get buffed.

    these are the values one should compare to: 210% and 180% for paralyze and chain lightning. weaker & higher level mages are still better off than before, oddjobs excluded. i've never seen so many mage "mains" come out of the woods with bare bones gear.

    It's all about planning, commitment and incremental upgrades.
    I'm definitely outclassed by some of my peers, but it's not at all because of the luk build.

    THAT BEING SAID, I still can't consciously recommend going luk mage unless you're very, very passionate about this and already have a strong set of ints / serious about maining (actually maining. not "using as a pin mule" or "hs muling in HT") your mage(s). It's financial suicide in some cases / parts of the build and you have to be incredibly patience to make the leap into luk if at all.

    Also hell yeah you're in WeenieHutJrs - that's the guild I grew up in.

    Trade secret. jk it's definitely doable if you plan and build towards it gradually. Do note I'm a little jacked up on current event equips at the moment (Except for zombie ring, as mine is clean. I got very unlucky with essences and gave up).

    Also worth mentioning none of my gear is scrolled for luk or hybrid scrolled.

    More?!?! They were the biggest winners from this change.

    Or maybe you’re saying they deserve buffs forever like buccs :cool:

    I think the removing of skills in the CWKPQ bonus stage is fair for all classes. But can we make it so that all boxes are accessible by at least moving the spawn point to the middle of the map or something?

    I want to suggest something about the change in the first amoria pq stage.
    I think you shouldn't make it too easy and lock the last player from entering the same side as the other 5 members.
    It makes everything way too easy and fixed instead of let the players be responsible enough to split to both sizes.
    if someone disconnects also shouldn't reset it in my opinion. it feels like it makes things very easy instead of challenging the players and let them handle the challenge.
    I really think you should let each player choose any side and they should be responsible not to screw themselves by going with the whole party to one side

    Give us back haste/movement skills in pq bonus stages such as cwkpq and apq. This nerf didn't help and it actually hurts everyone. We didn't even get extra time in bonus so please revert this movement nerf in bonus stages.
