Easiest Fix for Pennance

If anyone has done Pennance much they will notice one glaring problem.
The battles don't last long. But why?

The majority of the time one simple thing happens that will almost guarantee 100% short Pennance. I'm talking about Bastion Mages' -aga spell casting.

Here's what happens:
-Monsters approach the Pulse Martello
-Then Bastion Mages -aga the group of Monsters, pulling group towards them
-Monsters are now typically right next to the Pulse Martello
-Monsters can now simply use an AoE ability and destroy Pulse Martello
-Fight ends within one minute

:mad:

Please make Bastion Mages *single target* casters or maybe... just maybe...
make Bastion Mages into healers!

It's called "Bastion" not "Pennance".

And your scenario is easily avoided btw. Hate is very volatile in Bastion, and it's easy to get it off those mages; and it's not hard to pull the mobs away form the Martello, thus taking those mages with them.

Given enough time you realize the mobs will just drop hate occasionally and attack the martello directly too.

You're just not going to win em all. just wait 5 min and fight another battle.
