Reply To: Ideas to balance the playing field

You have some really good ideas mate. I DO think the playingfield needs something to be leveled.

For me it would already help an extreme load if mages and thiefs get a way to do some serious damage on bosses for example but you need actual strategy to do it. For example you first need to get rid of the magic reflect. then you need to put down (for example) an energy field and have the boss walk through it. This makes them vulnerable to (for example) paralyse and if you paralyse them they become vulnerable to feeble mind which makes them vulnerable to (some sort of) magic and you can then attack them until they cast magic reflect again. also paralyse spell makes them vulnerable to weaken and clumsy and curse so they become less of a threat and easier for the warrior to tank and kill.

Something like that. this would make mages ACTUAL support characters in battle in stead of just stat boosters.
also it would be a freaking awesome if they gave power players bonuses to stats and or skills so you can use more advanced strategies while still needing support of the specialist classes.
