| Author | Class balance, a joke |
|---|
Just did a joint combat with an elf against some wolves. My combat and I asked for help. She got 183 exp and a bow, I got 2 exp and kept the gold.
The sheer quickness and damage output of an elf vs the slow and pathetic damage output of a mage needs addressed. Elves routinely can do yellow/red encounters, where as a mage I still can lose to green on occasion. Is this class balance?
Nope, yet another glaring example of how poorly designed this game is. Why do I play? Cause its free.
I fully expect to get this post deleted, as free speech is not welcome here on this forum. |
That would be because of your low wizard racial level. When your hero casts spells in hunts, the damage gets multiplied by this way
average damage+(50%*wiz racial lvl) |
| you just don't play well enough. don't whine. different factions have theif good level's and theif bad levels. don't complain |
+2...
And thus, u get to do more damage in hunts, therefore killing more creeps, which gives u more exp in hunts |
you just don't play well enough.
Totally agree... and the way you split your stacks too... its no wonder you go so little exp...
Some advice: Split your magi into more stacks. Use magic punch and try to avoid attacking your own troops |
Yea I know my damage gets multiplied, but when you don't get a chance to go (even with initiative mini artifacts on) till well after your partner goes, the damage you may do is pretty much irrelevant because the target is already dead.
It isn't a whine, it is a poor design. And the banner adds claim this is the best web-based game...who are they kidding? |
Split my stacks? 7 mages, 2 stacks of 10 gargoyles, plus 1 to take aggro, and 16 golems. Not much splitting going on jack.
Understand the post, before you respond. |
| If u actually did play well enough, you wouldnt even have needed help from anyone... which in the end results in you not needing to create this topic |
Actually its you who should read properly. What i said was Split your magi into more stacks.
And if you did do that, you would have lessened the numbers of wolves before they could reach you |
It isn't a whine, it is a poor design. And the banner adds claim this is the best web-based game...who are they kidding?
Poor design? You are the poor player, its not the games fault that you dont have a clue about what you are doing, lol. If you look at the top hunters you will find that wizards is the top hunters. |
| maybe u should watch how some other wizards play, then u'l get what LeNgZaISD is talking about. And aren't wizards supposed to be the best faction in hunts? |
+11
Click Top Players menu, and look at the #1, he is a Wizard. Still think that wizard has no chance in this game??
Try to dig into his combat log, and find what he did when he was level 5. |
for Gorere:
You should check out TOP HUNTER record and then tell me which race is dominate the hunter record.
The problem is in you, not in your race. All of us, maybe only except you, have high respect to Wizard. :) |
I do know however, that what you are complaining is actually you don't have chance to attack because of Elf's high initiative.
I checked.. and I can see that you have 3 skill point in Elf, and only 2 in Wizard.
If you don't like the fact that Elf has higher initiative than Wizard, you can always change back to Elf. Nobody forbid you to do that. Maybe you are a true Elf in your self
I like being an Elf myself, because Elf is suitable for my style of playing.
Fast and Deadly =) |
| you should change your faction to demon, mate...it is the best choice ever ^_^ |
| for Ganz:i just did from wizards :D |
15,
hmm... Demons only has 7.3% of the population.
That means 92.7% players are blind, and can not see that Demons are the best choice =) |
| why so many ppl choose elves i will not know |
Faction level makes a huge difference. Not only for spells, but also for miniarts. Most 5th level wizards have a faction level of 4, which allows them to equip their mages with +5% Initiative miniarts. This allows them to go at the same time as the Druids and before the Elven Bowmen.
I'd say over half the time the only stack I split is mages. I can't count the number of battles I've won where my gargoyles were either circling the field or hiding in a corner while I used my last mana to crush the enemy. A full stack of gargoyles is really tough to kill, at any level.
You're using tactics other groups use, but they don't work well for wizards. You don't generally split off a gargoyle to get rid of retal because you don't attack big stacks with gargoyles- they don't do enough damage for your opponent to care.
Forget top overall, look at this:
https://www.lordswm.com/plstats_hunters.php?level=5&race=0
Far more than 1/5 of the top 5 records for 5th level are held by Wizards. If you know what you're doing, Wizards are great at 5th level hunts. If, that is, you're at least class level 4.
It's generally not playable to switch to Wizard after 4th level, due to the miniarts issue. I'd suggest switching back to Elf, or some other faction that doesn't care as much like Dark Elf. |
for veteran:
Everybody has their own style of playing.
I play this game for fun. Not to be the best or anything. I don't even consider myself as a good player, but who cares ??? ;p
Elf may not be the best faction, but like I said before.. Elf is suitable for my style. I might change to Dark Elf though when I have skill point 8 or 9 in Elf. |
