The main issue I have with the system in place now is the heavy dependance on scrolls and their power. FS scrolls for example deal just as much damage as casting it off your book and it only takes a split second to finish the spell. Blank scrolls are extremely cheap and easy to come by and even though it may not be a problem now, it sure as hell will be in the future. I can't see the point of using weapons and armor in anything else than duels, if all it takes is two people targetting you with an FS scroll at the same time for you to go down. As Lindenwood said before, scrolls shouldn't be absolutely necessary to be able to fight.

I'm sure people are going to tell me that I'm just not fast enough for their play style, but whatever. Spamming scrolls doesn't seem all that interesting to me and as far as I'm concerned, all it does is simplify PvP. Scrolls should have a role in PvP, sure, but it should stay as a way to land a killing blow or give yourself a quick boost in health when everything else fails. The fact that scrolls are as cheap and powerful as they are right now is just ridiculous.

I must say i come from the same background as you do lindenwood so i agree with you. On a side note i think that a really balanced combat/pvp system should be equal to every proffesion, i.e. a warrior should be able to kill a mage using only his sword/bow as easy as the mage should be able to kill the warrior with only his magery. Now that isnt the easiest thing to accomplish ive noticed over the years but i often se that magery is overpowered and/or the fight skills nerfed so there really isnt equal. One thing that would balance it alittle for example would be that parrying could resist spells aswell as resistance then the warrior would have twice the chance of resisting the spell as the mage since the swordman tends to miss alot of his hits the mage rarely fizzles when fully trained.

Oh well, as stated i think its a hard thing to accomplish and people might not even want to use the fighting skills in pvp i was just trying to back up lindenwood since it seems some of you dont seem or want to understand what he is saying.

Yea i really hate the over use of scrolls and everyone relying on magery. what about a pure warrior?
