Mages and sprint.

[Ransu]

Anyone else think that mages in pvp when using sprint should burn their mp instead of stamina? Kind of silly that they can use sprint with pretty much zero repercussions.

[Kinseykinz]

You can interrupt their casting with a sneeze so no. It's fine as is.

surecast? equanimity? swiftcast?

its fine for me with caster sprint but they should add one to melee without losing TP

[Redfame]

It is balanced also all ok.
Most problem is, players don't know your own skills.

if we were out of those cooldowns, then i guess were screwed?
melees can already destroy us badly, especially as blm, sprint is our hope to run away from you. if you're also able to run, then were doomed.
edit: my bad, i don't mean that they can defeat us that easily, it just depends on the situation. (and mostly talking from a blm Pov.) waltars right in that case.

no when im playing SMN melee just like T7 renued you can destroy melee with garuda / bio / rain 2 / swiftcast bio 2/ energy drain / fester / wither / aetheric brust ( you really dont need to cast )

sprint is our hope to run away from you?
what about sleep? you really dont need to worry about runing away from melee when you playing blm

like what redfame said Most problem is , players dont know their own skills

yeah, smn has better survival success, as to why i mentioned mainly blm in my reply.
well, i guess it depends on the scenario, but if there was one going on, then i'd use swift+sleep, if the melees still have their purify, then its all in vain, especially if they are able to stun, then surecast is also not going to work either. we could try to bind you, but the skill itself takes a few to cast, and you can still interupt that easily by throwing a small range attack on us.
although, there's still manawall, but that nullifies only two physical attacks. with a less experienced melees, i think we'd be fine, but with someone more experienced it'll be tough.
and don't the melees already have the ability to run? not exactly, but run + enliven works.
although it could go different...maybe swiftcast+freeze, have them waste their purify and then sleep.... it could work. and hopefully having nightwing and equanimity available, they have quite a long cooldown.

Black mages are the tankiest ranged dps in the game >_>

you have 4 instant cast defensive skills and a really powerful kiting spell when you combine it with high crit, phantom dart and the double damage proc

[Defeat]

yeah, if all our skills are available, then were definitely going to be fine.
edit:
actually, it would be interesting to see a video of blm vs a melee with equal skills, there's one for the smn, but none for blm. ( unless i missed it somewhere. )
