If your already hurt they can 1 shot you? oh ok.... never mind the archer can do that with drill arrow... or the worrior's charge up attack, i ment 1 shotting somone as in, you spawn, run around a corner and BOOM ure dead. it doesnt happen unless its lightning orb, not causeing enough damage, extra damage they get finished off. and 139 damage from a fireball? if that hit your front then its impossible. if it hit your side, maybe, back? quite likly, I agree about the mage mana thing a lvl 7 mage almost never runs out of mana and it sucks to see mages take on 3-4 people by swiching quickly between spells. its impossible to 1 shot somone with lightning from the front, you have to hit their back, or side.

BTW, i am not in favor of the mage in anyway. my opinion is they can cause too much damage in ratio with how much mana they have and dirct attack is suicide unless u have last stand or stoneskin. My fav class is the assassin anyway i find it more satisfying.

As far as i can see it, this game isnt supposed to be like a true rpg, for instance on EQ2 necromancer owned templars but if you were lower level then they were. its makes a HUGE differance. I think this game is more like counterstrike, instead of money you have experiance. You can buy better guns with your money, and you but buy better abilities with experiance. But it doesnt matter how much kevlar or how great your gun is because somone whos only just joined the game can still kill you with a pistol. and thats why a lvl 1 skilled archer can kill a lvl 6 warrior if they know how. levels are not supposed to mean "Your character is better therefore you should own anyone lower then you" levels mean you have more abilities, so you can fight in differant ways or for longer. Personally if i run into a nuke happy level 7 mage, at lvl 4 if i im on a worrior, last stand, Priestess, Stoneskin, Assassin, be patient, Mage, i point click and he goes boom. also remeber alot of it is skill driven, ever joined a game with 6 mages on the enemy team and you still own them all? skill... not class power in that instance.

The game isnt as messed up as you think. and i am not going to argue it, my opinion wont change, flame me or call me a noob or whatever. I really dont care. i doubt ill post here again

nope front (and i even had the skill that reduces magic damage)
but btw front, side or back does only matter for meele attacks

wasn't the only "impossible" thing i experienced though
once i 1shot killed a priestess that had full hp
with a drill arrow.. to make this even more odd the arrow went directly through her head

once again: it doesn't matter for spells where you hit
