Atm I dont even bother starting to get into PVP cause its all FS spam. Its that simple. It seems to me like theres too much spellcasting compared to IN1!
Something needs to be tweaked in order to get PVP balanced and exciting again.

Well there is some other spells being used, it's about who hits first and sequence on how to kill

Do you mean like, lose 50% of the mana for fs scroll when you d click it and 50% after it casts=same mana as regs? Little bit confused. If that's what you mean then yes that's a pretty good system, but then that brings up the fact that you can double click a scroll at the beginning of a fight and essentially have a half mana fs whenever you want. I thought about that option as well, it's a good system but it would really change the fundamental aspects of the PvP here I think.

I do like the fact that you can choose between using fs by regs or scroll, that's the cool part about how it is now that maybe we can preserve somehow. I like that reg FS still has a use.
In my opinion though, FS should always be a spell with a very high investment so that PvP isn't about just spamming FS... The good part about setting scroll damage equal to reg damage though is that you get the best of both, the serious effect of Flame Strike as well as the heavy mana cost. Then that makes reg FS useless, which kind of sucks. Possibly scrape off 5-10 mana from reg FS?

Although, if other things were changed this could be possible. If scrolls required a certain amount of AR to cast, then this would reopen use for reg FS in certain cases as well as require people to actually carry something worth looting besides mana pots if they want to PvP effectively. Gear shouldn't dictate who wins, but it should definitely have an influence on who has the advantage in a fight. Gang and I have talked quite a bit about it, there are other threads where we all discussed things like having a spell damage reduction based on armor difference. It worked pretty smoothly when we tested it actually.

Moral of the story in order to actually have a good PvP/Economy on a server (they are the same thing in this game, they drive eachother) there needs to be loot-flow and dynamic PvP... What's usually the most valuable thing on a corpse in a good size fight? Their pots/scrolls... That isn't how it should be in my opinion, I'm just throwing ideas out there and I'm curious what you guys think about it.

yeah half/half on click and use, you can preclick it but i mean if someone has full hp itll pretty much be a waste of mana on the use and if he has reflect you may fs your self xd

edit: also what about increasing the healing done by healing spell/scroll and maybe increasing there mana intake
