I think the patch before they changed the Mage Set into Astica 18 was balanced. Unlike now, Mage is only Vega Dibanda, one hit Akila & Ashbata. How about mages? They don't have one hit skill right? When in CHAYA, then you use NABAD, you can't get out. I don't have any complain with that. Every tribe has its pros and cons.
But when they made the Mage Set to Astica 18, of course I was happy because damage got bigger. BUT when you level down to Astica 18, there's a little chance to stun opponents because of level gap. There is still a DOWNSIDE of it. Not to mention you are only a BADRA away with Banars or yet Amada Biszai (don't know the spelling) combo yet they are very hard to kill since they have high evasion. With the new patch and mage is only Vega Dibanda + Airloot of Druka? I don't think so.
I don't see any complaints in the forums in the Astica 18 (Mage) patch here in the forums. You should have posted it here in order for us to exchange ideas. You are not the only player here. Posting in the forum doesn't mean you are crying for damn sake. If we will not post in the forums for the improvement of the game then tell me why is this forum created.
Some others are saying, "go play barbie", "go make your own Tantra and be the developer". For what? This forum is created in order for us to express our ideas. Let's admit that the number of players are going down. We need EVERY PLAYER in order for the server to survive. ONE PLAYER quitting is a disadvantage to the server.
This post is my opinion. Please respect it. Reactions are welcome but please have it in a subtle manner.
