Didn’t you see the dev VLOG where nearly every person on there including the guy balancing the weapons plays GA/WH. The extent to which INT is left out is insane, there are tons of examples of it, but the most egregious are Voidbent being Const/Dex/Str and the guise masks having resilient on all versions EXCEPT for the INT version. There are countless other examples of this like tons of STR or DEX jewelry that just flat out doesn’t exist for INT. This also explains why mages got 17 overall nerfs to the point fire staff isn’t even used anymore. It’s not an intentional bias, but obviously non skilled GA players will think mages are over powered. That paired with tons of mages running meteor shower to build up damage and finishes on damage charts confirmed their bias.
Honestly the weapon representation was much better back then in war, they have completely caused this meta by nerfing firestaff into the ground. They have such a strong bias for this they probably think that it is closed to balanced at the moment, which explains why it has taken them over 2-3 months to correct them basically killing the weapon.
It’s fairly clear the person designing the loot tables had a bias for non INT items.
Yeah, its been like this since launch. Hence why they nerfed IG and FS in NOV patch.
They dont hate mages, they just don’t play mage They’re all dex and str players, wanting their own class to be OP.
AGS has the most bias developers ive seen in any games out there. And theyre not even trying to hide it, which is sad to the core.
ya, well…uhh, I won an OPR match single handedly by launching a single fireball! She don’t crit but she sounded so darn scary that the brutes ran and hid in the baron pit and the other team quit
Maybe step into an opr or any pvp scenario before typing out an essay about how bad mages and fs is. You being dogwater at the class does not equate to the class being bad.
Nah fstaff is trash, it’s just that ice is good, so people see mage top charts not realizing firestaff is only used for burnout and some garbage fireball damage, maybe a pillar here and there, and then they switch to ice and start pumping all the damage. I main fstaff rapier in OPR, and I am useless unless I swap rapier with ig.
I never said all mages are bad I said FS is bad, which it is. Just because people stat pad damage and last hit with FS due to its fire rate and range doesn’t make it good lmao. Anyone with half a brain or at the higher skill levels of PVP knows this. Its why you don’t see it used by the WW/EF companies anymore.
message to the AGS devs, did u forget that there are lots of players play as mages, u can solve the problem just adding some scholar attributes to the existing ring , earrings etc and make them random drops, so mages have a chance to get good drops from dungeons or U GUYS JUST DONT CARE AND ITS A WAY OF TELLING MAGE PLAYERS TO GET OUT AND PLAY OTHER GAME
even adding constitution to these good drops would benefit all, seriously mages are part of this game too
