Well im Playing a Conjurer/Thaumaturg since release and it never was easy to handle these classes.
It's a mess to buff all your group mates if you have to recast all buffs each 4 mins (which is not even one guildleve). if all your group members are'nt standing in one place in most of situations only half of the group is receiving buffs. if they are standing just one stair lower than you they won't receive the buff as well.
i think the buff range and duration is too low if you ask me... and there are also some bugs (i only mention stairways)
One other point which is really getting on my nerves (and some other players) is the fact of activating skills since patch 1.19 .. you have to wait till the animation has finished for 100% to cast your next spell.. so i hit one skill for about 3-5 times (when in my opinion the animation has ended yet) and hope that the skill gets initiated.
that was way better in the patch versions before, i dont know why they changed it. there was a little bit of "time tolerance". Since 1.19 the skill activation system doesnt tolerate just 0,5 secs.
Some of my improvement suggestions for casters would be:
- Increasing buff duration from ~4 min to at least a minimum of 10-15 mins.
(its just getting on the nerves of the caster and the group members itself "its bufftime")
- increasing the buff radius range (minimum the double)
- rework the skill activation system like it was in 1.18 and before.
(More tolerance or a spell queue)
- eliminate buff bugs . like when party members are on a different height (stairways for example)
healing group members while in fight and casting attack spells:
- when you select an enemy and a group member afterwards to cure him you always casted cure on the enemy... to deal with this problem you first always had to press "ESC" (deselecting the target)
this problem should be solved as well.. when i'm selecting a group member afterwards and cast cure the group member should receive the cure, not the enemy i had in target before.
sorry if my english isnt that perfect. i hope you understand my concerns![]()
