Shocked at the reduction in mage damage, quadruple mp cost, and lowered resources

Oh noes, i can no longer spam cures and nukes like crazy!!
I'll actually have to think before using a spell. Damn! This game sucks. :(

For solo play actually, you die before you can even cast a cure spell >.> These things are hitting for 150-200. I only have like 600 HP and they hit way faster than I do + they gang up on you two at a time :P

Up your VIT? I had zero problems soloing so far as CON and THM. Even against multiple mobs.

62 VIT R20 CON.

It isn't their regular attacks, but they have a charge attack called Tail Chase they do every 3-5 seconds that keeps hitting me for 200-300 damage each. It's really kicking the crap out of me >_>

EDIT: Also, I keep seeing dead CON and THM out in the fields around Camp Tranquil xD
EDIT2: Okay there's my 3rd death :P It would probably help if it were possibly to kite mobs or if they didn't instantly auto-attack for 100 damage each, or if they didn't automatically bring a friend with them.

So, up my Vit, up my mind... do I have points for piety or int? Those nukes won't be doing any damage...

Gee, use your brains, it's not that hard. Gravity, Bind, Sleep, Bio, Slow, Paralyze. Cripple the mobs and they become a joke.

Sure, the old "i just spam nukes and laugh when they hit me" method won't work anymore, but that does not mean Mages can't solo.

Gravity, Bind, Bio, Slow, and Paralyze are all THM spells >.> All CON get are Sleep. And I don't have enough Action Points for that at my current level + my Fire/Thunder + Cure/Sac + Buffs.

Short spell range really hurts the usefulness of those debuffs. Lemme cast gravity when I'm standing 5 feet next to you.

Seems like it's only some mobs though. Bee Swarms = easy. Imps = easy.

Foraging Does and Ringtail Pterocs = holy shit I'm dead after 2 spell casts.

When fighting pteroc type mobs you can simply back away from tail chase while they are charging it up. If they start using backflip you can walk around to their side and completely avoid that was well.

I love the feel of party play in the dungeons so far. It felt like teamwork was much more essential now especially with the crazy hate curega seemed to generate.
