Mage Feedback
Posted: Tue Feb 17, 2015 7:13 am
I'm new to the forum so I hope this isn't in the wrong place, but I wanted to offer my perspective on the mage perk.
I'm really enjoying the Mage perk so far, but I find that on the HOE server (which I prefer to play on) you can't really play a mage and expect to live more than 20-30 seconds. Having lowered run speed and being super squishy doesn't make for a very enjoyable experience on HOE. Telegrippers and shivers can pretty much insta-kill you before you know what happened.
Currently the only way that I'm able to enjoy the Mage perk is to switch to a different perk and use the Mage weapons. Could the increased melee damage received be reduced or removed and keep the lowered run speed? Or increase run speed and keep the increased melee damage taken. The combination of the two is too punishing in my opinion.
