My caster is fully toa'ed except Ml's.
Yet, when a merc is hitting me I feel like im fighting some purp mob with my staff :x.

In movies I see that most casters can handle pretty much dmg...
My caster has 1400-1500 hp's when buffed and capped resists, and when i use belt of moon / traldor i even got 15% more thrust resists and 10% more slash/ crush resists... yet I seem to be a fly for most melee classes..

Must I do all master lvl's to have better "resist" chances vs a ML10 enemy or doesnt that matter?

Are casters just weaker due cloth armor? yes they are (but does it make that difference)?

Or am I just stupid to run in 3 fg albs at amg and start moccing + pbaoe :)
<i love moc my newest RA^^ /pwn imo>

Im pretty new in RvR with my caster and most of the time solo in emain. Allways played Mellee class so im just asking :p *yus /me = rvr nuub with caster*:D

pls any got any tips or things to get my caster less "suicide / free rp target"

What you see in the movies are far from the truth.

It dosnt show you that casters in those movies are being spammed with spreadheals by healers, druids, clerics.
Most single casters cant hold his own to a fg of anything and depend very much on crowdcontrol by his team m8's.

A sorc is one of those that can excel in both crowdcontrol and damage, and those are often seen soloing. But most wizards can perhaps kill 1-3 enemies depending on type, before they are killed, vs. a fg. Unless they get mezzed and then they go down as quick as anyperson outthere.

someone should make a boring movie about clerics, druids and healers, spamming lots of spreadheals :)

A mage are never better than his support, the most depending relationship in rvr.

and with toa the support of a mage is spread trough the span of healer/interrupt/bg classes. wich pretty much sums up that they belong in groups, even tho soloing is more possible since toa also, just that that isnt my area so cant answer anythign about that :)

as it was said above... no caster can last longer then the healer can heal u :p casters are going down fast to melee classes if u don't have guard/bg :p the only thing u can do to counter it is to strafe lag em to avoid hitting u, or rely on good heals if u moc :p

Not flamming really mate, but it did kinda make me chuckle when a PBAOE whines about running into the middle of 3 FG's Albs and gets killed. Obviously a bug and all the albs definitely need to be all nerfed. ;)

Seriously, high gain when it comes off but also high risk. Need good healers. :)

Have fun with your totally overpowered class while it lasts :worthy:

My dark sm guildie kinda gets 1shotted by a pair of rr8+ blademasters/mercs unless I'm there to save him :p.

I myself do 600 dmg on casters with ragnarok on many occasions, throw in a 200 dmg crit and there, ouch

Quite funny that an infi who rerolled as a chanter is a little confused as to why s/he can't run into the middle of 3fg of albs and kill them all by spamming 1 button ;)

I have this image in my head...

Asardog: "This spam1button4tehwin is all well and good against other stealthers, but it still doesn't quite hit that orgasmic spot...I need something just a little more...overpowered. I know, I've seen it in the movies...I'll roll a chanter..."

2 months later...

Elfinai: "OK here we go...1 chanter, fully TOA'd, ready to rumble...woooot! 3fg of albs just waiting for me to wtfpwn....*runs into the middle of them and starts spamming pbaoe*...Hit that button! Hit that button! Hit THAT button!!!...*dies*...wtf?!!?!?!?! I'm dead!!!1111....I must be doing something wrong...*makes post on FH*..."



Couldn't resist it ;)

Err, spell pierce != thrust resist fyi. Traldor does not give 5% thrust.

oh and zoyster, if ppl were to list the names of ppl who charge into a fg or two, starts casting and then dies..lets just say you wouldnt want that trend to start ^^

oh and ckillarr, plz show me 1500dmg from one tank hit, that'd rly make my day.(your dmg-range is _way_ out of fuck)

and please, casters are far from what they were in the tank era just now before toa, stop trying to look more gimped then you are.
