Mitigating Magic in Arenas with Resists

[MasterNuke]

Yeah. Magic is overpowered in arena zones. I think it should go back to using magic levels and resists in arenas.

probably when stefan gets around to it.

I agree completely with this. There's no way to resist stuff like fire / ice / lightning / etc. spells as it currently stands, so everything gives 100% damage instead of 50% if you have 50 resist.

I agree magic is just way too powerful in arena zones magic resist needs to come back.

[Tigairius]

Agreed.

The way it works right now is that magic works on the same formula for physical damage for each hit. So multiple hit spells like icestorm will tear people up. All spells with an attacktype do this. That is why paralyze, slow, and fear hurt people in arena zones currently.

Well thats stupid. It really should go back based on level and such. Its sad to see someone get owned by something like magic bullet.

They should just bring back the old system and only use the new one in events.

So is this going to happen? I'd rather see Magic be moderately underpowered than ridiculously overpowered in arena zones.
