LOL, I'm gonna stop. I'm done.

Hellz no...get your ass back here i was gonna show of my lil youtube video of me & 2 other friends trio'ing Dodore (um ya thats a HNM as some will call it) before they gimped it.

You wanted to see me playing my job right.... oh well, guess ur not that bold for spoilers...
lolpug23... oh wait... ohnuuuus ur hide your character info.... how sad

[Sonic_the_Hedgehog]

I / We have & it will get fixed... thats why im still saying lolethers cuz it havent been "fixed" yet.
Oh snap, im sure someone will enter & go "Ethers are just fine...." any second now. (just like you...lol)

So you want them fix mana consumption even though you know they're going to fix the item potency? If they lower the MP on certain skills then increase potency of certain items, then it's gonna be broken again. People are going to use whatever spell they like without repercussions, because they're gonna have low MP costs and "super ethers". It's gonna be how it was before 1.18 came out again.

Patch notes before the patch goes live. Yes!

Also, DD buffs should help the Darkhold pigeonholing.

Setting home point is a much appreciated feature.

And finally, they're fixing the weird looking water on the ferry. /hurray!

No, idc about the crazy mana cost, i want players that havent played mage & experienced the mana consumption for themselves.
So they dont go rampaging into battles like thye expect healers do stand behind & spam heals like its freakin xmas.

I want players (mostly melee to being able to take care of themselves, have proper skills & spells equipped), and some mages to stand in their damn spot, being ready to heal when needed, not some damn crazed out melee-mage trying to play red mage or some shit like that.

I kinda like the mana consumption challenge, but i dont like players that think "it's all fine", you have auto attack... 1 major drawback for mages when using sleep, when u melee screws it up with ur damn auto-attack. (oh ya not ur fault, it's SE's.)

Thats just one example, then ther's the players that claim they know everything about everything even
thoug they have no visual proof of playing mage , trying it out for themselves, just basing facts upon rumors.

And yet you brought in the biggest FAIl item ever...lolethers, i mightaswell use my own tp skill to gain more mp that way.

[DoubleEcho]

Ethers are fine.

Can you add a bit more to that? How are they fine when they are not able to be reused for at least 2 minutes, if not more, and only give enough for 2/3 of a Cure II?

Then use your skills, you just proved my point. Don't complain about the consumption, there's many ways to get MP back.

You don't play mage classes. Quit being an apologist.

Ah yes, you're correct. I rather have the Devs fix this issue than decreasing the MP cost of skills. They can either keep the MP regain at 50 and decrease the timer to 30 secs or keep the time the same and increase the MP regain to 150. Something like that.
