And like I said, if an AM specs that way the AM loses all other versatility whereas the runepriest has three versatile spec lines to begin with in terms of offense-defense-support. This purebreed vs. hybrid factor makes the classes different perhaps, but that doesn't compensate for the armor class difference. Maybe you're right that somehow at level 40 things will balance (but I don't see a reason why). I'll say this, versatility goes a long way in RvR, and thus a purebreed class should be notably superior in the abilities he does have.
Trust me, I know how to play my class just fine and I do prefer the support role of the archmage (vaul and isha) as opposed to the damage spec line (asuryan). Oh and as far as healing goes...let's see here: Rune of Restoration = Boon of Hysh. Blessing of Valaya = Blessing of Isha. Rune of Regeneration = Lambent Aura. Rune of Mending = Healing Energy. So tell me, what HoT's do I have that a runepriest doesn't that makes an AM superior in the long run? And Rune Priest also has an HoT called Rune of Serenity that heals and bounces to different targets wth?? The only pro-archmage argument is that our heals are generally in the same spec line, but that happens at the expense of versatility.
Anyway, this thread is about a rune priest complaining, which remains hilarious.
Poor rune priest what the hell? I play a support robe class archmage, and I am oftentimes outdamaged AND outhealed by runepriests (and I'm not some random MMORPG W0W n00b either). I am actually parsing through rune priest abilities right now, and I am getting pissed many of them are equal to those of an archmage. Anyway, you either need to learn how to play or you need to roll a different class because support isn't for you.
Good lord people, patience is a virtue. Tone done your settings for 30 days while Mythic figures it out. I'm playing WAR on a three and half year old P4 3.8 Ghz 2 gb ram with a Geforce 6800 waiting for a good deal on a new comp still. Life could be better, but I play the game and enjoy it. These comparisons to established and polished games are getting silly.
Well I'm playing an Archmage, and tactics aren't making much of a difference. I can't run away as I get snared or rooted (and beat on while I'm rooted??). I swear I'm trying to heal from as far away as possible (as opposed to being some wreckless robe class), but as soon as I see a Black Orc or Witch Elf roll my way, I turn to run, but it's too late. Oh, and for 6 months I was highest RP on my server in DAoC, so I'm a little familiar with RvR. I don't think the balance is too out of whack, but still Chosen, Black Orcs, and Zealots seem to occupy 2-3 Order each without trouble. In my opinion, Knight of the Blazing Sun needs to be brought back, and that tank needs to be an absolute beast. Overall, I still love the game though. Plus, I received two new death titles at the same time yesterday.
In your opinion, what kind of gamer are you?
