UO Second Age

Holy Mittens wrote:I think the larger "problem" (I use quotes, because it's not really something I consider problematic) is that the curve for a tank mage is more forgiving than for a warrior. A tank mage, essentially, needs reagents and a halberd and little else to be highly effective and badly played mages will generally dominate badly played warriors. A warrior needs potions, bandages, armor, a good weapon, and (in some cases) at least a dollop of magery themselves to be highly effective.

At the high end, it balances out. But at the low end, it is mage dominated, which leads to the perception that tank mages are overpowered. This isn't really a good or a bad thing, it just is.

anyone that plays a character template with no way of instantly healing and then underequips it, deserves to die for not having foresight.
