Bugged Mage still can kite Mobs^^

[cling]

cooldown for magic missle is same for the time of fire bolt.. But it won't matter, we can still kite the mobs by running. It just take more time, plus we cannot use other skills even though we don't run...
So....Let's Kite mobs...

[Roseanna]

When you need 4.6 million exp and mostly solo because there's a severe shortage of clerics on your server... kiting doesn't quite work. ;) Good suggestion for earlier levels though. :)

[Rockman_Xelnia]

It doesn't matter how we go around this bug, the fact of the matter is that it's slowing us mages down drastically. And to top off this madness, the bug won't be getting fixed until NEXT WEEK. Where's the love......

Oh please, I'm sure theres plenty of level 50ish clerics that would jump at healing you (and leeching exp) when you train =P

But kiting gets to be a hassle the higher your level - shes completely right =/

[Adenydd]

I wish kiting were as good an option. Everything in the areas that I get any kind of exp from is aggro. Kite one monster, run into a mob of six more ready to tear me apart. XD

Sucks. I really hope they do something for Mages, since we're basically screwed out of a weekend worth of leveling. I'm off on my Cleric since I can't solo and few parties want the currently bugged mage... and well. I can't keep aggro off a Cleric with my insane cooldowns so I don't trust myself to duo.

Just extra grinding next week I guess. *Sighs*

[lanvers]

err...the bug effect my solo very much.
so GM's please make an extra effort.
thanks

Aren't you on Epith too? 0.o There is one 7x cleric. One 6x cleric who won't play without Franzy. One 6x cleric that speaks little English so I can't communicate to him directly. I'm supposed to make parties in the 6x pvp zone where the best exp is how? There's a rather small handful of 5x clerics which my husband mostly knows but... kinda hard to grab them. Even then, we have to do like 10 trumpies at a time at 800 or so exp when I'd get 1k-2k each in pvp. FoS we can trio with one insanely awesome cleric, or else we need 2 clerics considering how much I aggro. And again, it's harder to make parties than you think. :( We tried for a while and then gave up, spent too much time making and organizing parties just for them to fall apart. It's faster for my husband and I to go duo, and spend all that organizing and re-organizing time killing instead of talking.

[Rockman_Xelnia]

We mages are truly getting screwed over and isn't there an increased EXP thing going on? I mean, looking at everyone else who gets to use the weekend to the fullest while us mages have to TRY and HOPE to make the best of the weekend and some people have gone off to level their other characters, meaning that they're losing out even more because they want to level the mage but can't. I'm sorry, but this is another occurrence that has left me deeply disappointed in Outspark.....

Look at how quickly they snatched us off the servers when they ACCIDENTALLY opened Burning Rock and went right to work fixing that situation, and then they finally did something with Archers and then the latest patch fixed yet another Archer issue which wasn't that long ago, then fixing Fighter issues but we mages have to wait to get our problems fixed while every other class gets to say "Aha, I get level off extra EXP!"

Oh, and kiting mobs isn't much of an alternative considering that other people would be likely to KS us thinking that either we're running, probably gonna train someone, or just the fact that we're semi-slow in our state. No, this is not a good weekend at all for mages.

My mage has already died TWICE from this darn bug. Yea, now I have to wait to launch an attack while a mob is gettin free licks....-_-

[Farashimisanoob]

I need 480k to level, this is gonna take forever X_x

Last I heard, they were both 60 - who hit the 70 mark? o.o

And fair enough - not much you can do about the 6x pvp zone. At least pho knows all the 50+ clerics outside of pvp, so you have some options when you're in need of a quick party >.<

Though I agree, its more a hassle to find clerics for a good party. Why not level one up from the guild to be a heal slave? =P

[lanvers]

I share my rate.
Before: I can kill 4 or upper mobs in a rest(my HP)
NOW: Ijust kill 2 mobs in a rest(my HP the same with Before)

and I have to say, battle field don't have a lot of place for running.........
It is dangerous for a solo mage.
And I solo because need material.

[RevanChan]

Not only is bugged MM1 also FB1.
Its very hard play for the bug, for example a common combo:

MM1 - FB1 - MM1 - IB - MM1 - FB1 - MM1 - LB - MM1 - FB1 - MM1 - MB

and repeat
12 hit combo

now is:

MM1 - FB1 - fail - fail - IB - fail - fail - MM1 - LB - fail - fail - fail - MB

50% fail to cast
6 hit combo

TT_TT

And don't forget to mention that it's likely we will end up dead in the "fail" parts.

I think something about levelling up clerics makes the clerics sick of Fiesta. Both clerics in our guild that I tried that with rarely play now. >.< I always kept asking are you bored, do you wanna break, do you want to do something else... and they always said they were okay. Now I barely see them. I feel bad. :(

Oh and K_MOMO is the 7x cleric. Franz and Latte are still 6x, and now Lightguardian just hit 6x yesterday.

[Ninjayoshi4]

I am totally sick of this bug. I die constantly cause I can't do crap worth of combos. I really wish outspark would hurry this up. I mean they always do emergency maintenance when there is some other problem, why not now? Do they hate us mages or what? I mean, where's the help here... -_-

[Roseanna]

No hope of emergency maintenance - SKiNG said not til next week. :( I cannot solo yellow mobs or even duo with my fighter husband without dying very frequently. Only thing that lets me live is trioing with a fighter AND cleric. My cash shop items are ticking, this exp boost is ticking, and I'm frustrated and left with little to do. I think all of us mages are pretty angry about this.

I saw light hit it. Momo needs to calm down =P

And plvling tends to bore people - kinda sucks the fun out of a game.

[Roseanna]

Ankh just hit it too.

It wasn't powerlevelling, they were within 5-ish levels of me. Just... well... welcome to the world of party-clericing, it gets awful boring awful fast (for a lot of people, anyway). =\ Hence my Teva cleric never made it past 60 lol.

[bladetsukasa]

Mm, the world of party clericing is painful - most parties refuse to do anything but let you heal and ress. If they die, it will ALWAYS be the clerics fault to them ._.

The world of archers is pretty bad too - most people won't party you unless you're a higher level then them - DD slaves ftl ^^

[Roseanna]

Yeah I had so many party disasters where I got blamed that, when there was a party disaster and I wasn't blamed, I still felt horrible and felt like the party blamed me but didn't tell me. But even with all the str stats and gear and the +8 weapon I killed painfully slow, and I was sick of watching the DD's having all the killing fun.

And heh yeah, hence my archer never made it past 57. LOL. Though I've learned a lot about soloing as a DD on Epith... after I cap, my Teva archer just might get brought back out, who knows. :D
