Making spell timers the length you want will kill off every mage on the shard. If that’s what you want, fine, but don’t make ignorant remarks about dexxers.

Not only are dexxers as strong and powerful as mages, they can be even almost unbeatable if played by an experienced PvPer. The only reason I play a mage over a dexxer is because I want some challenge when I fight. If I played a dexxer, I would lose probably 1 out of 50 times.

First off agreed about dexxers, they take a very small fraction of the skill to play as tank mages.

But secondly what are you guys talking about with spell timers? Are the spell timers are retardedly fast here like every other t2a shard out there? I just quit Divinity because of that (and the huge ratio of assholes to not assholes on that shard).

I'm not suggesting that spell timers need to be dramatically increased, maybe just 25%. As it is, I can almost keep up with mages when fighting close quarters.
I would really like to see you do 100% dexxer pking Max, that would make my day.

Spell timers are in the process of being revised, but won't be done so until we have a provably accurate basis for the change, and after much much testing and verification.
