[Ziggy Stardust]

From the latest SVN updates (not committed yet):

Made some minor timing changes to spells and scrolls
Greater heal scrolls now heal 3 less hp
...other things...

Not sure how helpful that will be, but it's a start.

With 3 hp less heal on greater heal scrolls people will just mix them with normal heals which gives like 42 hp, and still be able to survive way too easy, if they combine it with a greater heal potion. You are still going to have to hit the player down to below 20 health and it will still be very hard to kill somebody.

I respect that you used the faster greater heal scrolls at old IN and are trying to perserve that version of the PvP, but I'm just saying that it is way better to up the mana cost for greater heal scrolls A LOT so that they are only used as life safers, rather than as a compliment to real greater heal spell but with the mana cost of a normal "heal" pretty much, but that gives way more health :p

Since you also have total manas it is still going to be hard to kill somebody even if they would cost 30 mana, but at least then it would give the players who actually manages to drain their enemies below 30 mana a better chance, and hopefully at least some duels wouldn't go to naked :/

Yeah we are aware of the issue and will balance it out bit by bit. We don't want to make any drastic changes right away though, hence the small changes this time.

But look on the bright side, more players might have the guts to go out and PvP and learn how to fight now when it's pretty easy to survive

Hehe, well you do what you think is right, small changes can be good too, but I don't believe in lowering the greater heal scroll health that it gives to fix this problem, and I certainly don't believe in the fact that greater heal scrolls costs 6 mana (!) to cast, that is insane, do you realize how hard it will be to drain somebody of enough mana not to be able to heal themselves when it costs 6 mana? :/

Anyway, I'm just giving suggestions, do what you feel is right.
