Dark Wizard necessary improvements

[carnival]

I believe that more or less everybody have noticed that Dark Wizards are seriously weakened comprating them to D.W. of previous seasons. For this reason i would like the admins to take into consideration the following and re-evaluate the statistic of DW.

1) Soul Barrier: Soul Barrier is totally useless. No damage tranfer to mana (not a visible one at least), no damage reduction, nothing. Currently the skill is more like a decoration.
2) Expansion of Wizardcy (Magic Cycle): In the past, if memory serves right, this skill added tremendous damage increasement. Currently the skill doesn't even add the minimum 20 % (as the skill mentions) damage rending it as useless as the Soul Barrier.

There have been situations were players with no F/O items or with extremely lower resets were able to PK D.W. where under other conditions it would be impossible so please take a 2nd look of the current build of D.W. and do some improvements otherwise it will be hard for player with D.W. to keep up with other characters.

I think this has something to do with the changes to ensure they wont become immortal when they will reach full stats, i will try to reevaluate the settings/formula.

Agree with Carnival.
There is something else should be added.and its the resets . i see no differences in resets.
Example : Me .I can be killed by noobs with 0 reset and they haven't got any f.o items. although i am f.o set, staff and shield/ 27 reset .

Most of IEN players are SMs...When they notice the weakness of SM...They will be forced to play another character which is more stronger than SM.in that case many players would leave the game for sure....because they won't be ready to level up new character because as we can see its not easy at all to level up new character and make it full stats....

I see that none of the powers that help sm not help without those powers is the sm all, soul barrier does not work, magic cicle not have the same damage, and the stron ice has little damage, 1 mg can kill 1 sm easy, 1 mg 0rr kill me, I have 3 rr lol? Greetings ..!

Hahahahahahahaha!
*modified* .. Because there's Bk kill it without having the same reset him. For the magician is fine like this, as previously abused their skills. It is expected to rise excessively because they are accustomed to and thrown ks mana shield for his "defense" ...

Hi guys:

I saw the discussion and could not help to intervene.

The "issue" with Dark Wizard/ Soul Master/ Grand Master is not so. This character was never meant to be as strong as it was last season. That was an extremely overpowered mistake. I have played on many places and only here, at IEN, have I seen a soul master capable of killing every other character without even breaking a sweat.

As far as the magic circle goes, that could be "fixed" if there is a configuration for it, in order to provide some power increase. Mana shield should provide some protection from attacks as default, but I know it could be increased. Nevertheless, as far as I know, and I know the files being used on this season very closely, there's no possibility on earth that the soul master from last season will be back, so you better stop dreaming. Like I said before, that was a configuration mistake and it's very difficult, not to say impossible, to make the soul master unbeatable. At most, you can increase mana shield to make it harder to kill.

Take care guys and I will see you on another discussion.

[THE-STIG]

for me make the balance character if possible no overpower. co'z its totally boring if one character rules the game

[ShadowKill]

Everything is being looked at and tested.

Things will take time but in the end we will try to make everything as equally as we can.
