In the most recent hotfix they kind of gave Wizard an smack in the shins Dark And Darker Gold, huh?
I know the reason although after playing one last night , I am 100 100% sure the class (and casters in general) is not for me.
The majority of my time was on Ranger this evening, I really enjoyed it for the most part , but will probably remain with Fighter, especially after the Weapon Master modification is only a 10% loss in power, not 20%.
But overall my complaints are pretty limited...aside from what I can only assume was a few hackers or just people with the purple or higher weapon who were able to one-shot me at a point of near-max health by the single blow of a knife to the chest...one of them was the name of a Wizard somehow.
I'm running my wizard this morning. It's just to see how serious modifications are. I'm thinking that the splash damage is a bit over-tuned. But the wizard isn't too bad. I believe the changes are fair. Not breaking the rules of class. Just make you use abilities in a more thoughtful way. The light nerf is a big time LuL, however. 8>6 yaokdude.
I appreciate your maintaining this thread and the the prior thread and for posting continuously in reply to others. However, there are legitimate criticisms that need to be heard and addressed, which you are ignoring focus on cheap Dark And Darker Gold.
