Leach Health

[dibbit]

As I was fighting goblin mages, I noticed that they have the ability to steal your health which is in a way a crude form of healing themselves but at the same time doing damage to you. I was thinking that it would be pretty sweet if at some point mages could obtain this ability. Some may argue that it crosses to much over into cleric territory and might over power mages but I don't think it would considering clerics just heal, I'm talking about some form of dark magic that robs health from your enemy and gives it to you. As for over-powering, well ultimately OutSpark and Ons On Soft would have the ability to adjust cool-down and how powerful the spell actually is to control for class balance. I don't know, I was just thinking and thought it would be really cool, let me know what your opinions are.

Sorry, but I don't think Outspark will ever restore balance to the class type. Mages are the most underpowered class in this game. Magic-mobs even have skills we don't (Archmage Book & Lightning Vivi can stun. And like you said, Goblin Mages can steal health). Fighters already have the health stealing skill as if they're not overpowered enough. :mad:

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL mages underpowered XD I love noobs

i think they need to fix the archers first -.-

[dibbit]

well I wouldn't go as far as saying mages are underpowered... although due to our extreme squishy-ness, it is probably one of the more difficult classes to play as but imo the difficulties are well worth it, and i think it would be even more worth it if at one point we could steal someone's health :D I already get a kick out of the fact that we can steal buffs even though many people hate mages for that reason and I can dream about one day we'll be running around stealing health from mobs and annoyed members in pvp greatly reducing our resting time... hmm... maybe for once we will actually run out of magic before we run out of health :D but once again, wishful thinking.

Lol underpowered? ***?

Anyways. I think that would be a kick-*** skill. I vote yes :D

[dogdogs]

Well yes I will vote for it, I mean the squishieness of mages and the amount of hp they have is I believe below normal mage defence. If they make it that low then at least allow the skills to be much more chaotic and destructive in terms of damage or give us this skill and let us keep our selfs alive for a little while longer.

Ehh all you need is end gears and stat points i'm a lvl 67 mage with 2.5k hp unbuffed and 599 def no buffs. Then agian i know a lvl 8X mage with about the same unbuffed hp as me lol

[THr3eS01di3Rs]

Umm anyone who has said mages are underpowered needs to rethink that statement...because they arnt. Play all the classes before you decide which one is most underpowered. Also you might want to check all the class forums before you say that as almost everyone will disagree with you.

[spiritofchaos]

It is obvious that fighters can get overpowered easily. Heck all classes can be all over powered, but it takes the least effor with fighters. High Hp/Def + Godly Damage + CS items = Ouch

We mages are tough, but since we already have Purge, it would be nice to a health drain spell thrown into the mix. It would definitely make soloing easier without so much stone/potion use & clerics, but on the PvP level, it would turn any great mage into a beast. Think about it:

-We can drain magic
-Chain casting of spells
-We can debuff
-Biggest raw damage in the game
-FEAR

Now add life draining to that equation. You'll have mages everywhere, like clerics and fighters.
