It would be better if people could stay objective and state problems like so:

I think that (thing) is too (strong/weak) because (too little mana/too much damage/too little damage/too inefficient).

Or:

I dislike (new feature) because it (breaks something/makes things too fast/too slow).

Things like that are way easier for me to make notes of, or respond to. Believe it or not I do actually write down the feedback when I can understand it in order to address and make changes later if needed. Just because I don't immediately say "Ok, I will do everything you want" doesn't mean you were ignored, and I hate to promise/deny anything until I have had a sufficient amount of observing time and feedback.

I'm a very empirical and logical person, I like to measure and watch and calculate. I respect objectivity and strongly believe the best way to balance the system is through innovative changes which are mathematically balanced. I really can't do anything with feedback which is "I don't like it" or "This is broken" with no other information.

Specifically the complaints I remember from you smoke are:

1) Don't like reduction of scroll dependence/removal of lightning scrolls.

2) Think poison makes nuking too easy to kill/hard to live.

Is this correct? Is there more? Does anyone else have any comments on these issues?

My person feeling is that I haven't had enough feedback or chance to see the poison mechanic working out. Also I am willing to revert the lightning scroll change but the way I see it in order to PvP to your full potential you will need:

All kinds pots
Armour/Weapons/Shield
Bless, Curse, FS, GH, MR, Wall, Dispel Field, Explo, EB, Poison and Cure scrolls

If anything I'd prefer to reduce this scroll burden more rather than reverting the small amount it has already been reduced...

Ah well i'll re-list it then what I don't like but we did speak about it earlier that's why i didn't feel the need to re-write it considering we had already spoken.

Poison system and poison before gh you can't really recover from a good dump.. and if you do hits will make this even harder to survive.
Mindblast too cast before gh cast if timed properly with poison = you are dead not to mention this does a lot of damage for the cast time it's a little slower than lighting but faster than harm and does 25-30 dmg if i'm not mistaken..
mana intake on offensive spells, it doesn't make sense how you can fs 3 times and light once or twice and be completely out of mana or close too it while the other person heals one or twice and still has 60 mana or so
removing lighting scrolls from event gear, and making regs and scrolls identical yes i believe it shouldn't be the exact same defeats the whole purpose of that spell in the scroll if they're identical..
I don't like that you will be able to cast walls or paralyze fields either on your enemy, I think it's pretty straight forward your not allowed to paralyze someone with your weapon over and over because the ref will eventually kill them yet this is allowed?
harm is in fact overpower by damage means for a level 1 spell.. everyone i've come across has agreed with this pretty much as well
mini heal is retarded overpowered..

there's probably more just forgot about what we talked about earlier was like 5 hours ago, but i don't think removing one scroll from the equation will make people feel any differently considering the main spell used is still fs and there are still 5-6 maybe more now scrolls that you will use in this pvp..

EDIT: In all honestly, i don't even really like the regen system i find potions to be more accurate.. if anything this will just make the dueling system more weird and have skills like magery and inscription more easily trained..
