It's all KINDA balanced though - defensive warriors (knights) are always the last ones to die in a fight cause of their immense defence and hit points, but they dont deal that much damage, and defensive mages (conjurers) are usually protected because they can heal and resurrect people.

I only take out lots of people on hunts.

We're the second most vulnerable class, after barbs.

Warlocks die very fast, they're the most targetted class, so you really have to predict when you'll be targetted and start casting SK early on.

Actually energy barrier is quite weak. And areas are our biggest strength, taking out people one at a time is more for marksmen.

One issue that I would like to address is:

When you create a mage character, is it wise to raise intlligence to the fifth? Or is it concentration? Or the others?

From my experience i'd give all 5 points to the characters main ability. +5 dex to archers, +5 int to mages, +5 str to barbs/+5 const to knights.

oh goody, i use it all for int.

That's your experience.

Int is, believe it or not, rather useless. You're better of with const.

With the current settings of the game, for any Mage, I would put all my points in int and chose the race with more int.

You have the int passive(+5 on lvl 1) if you want the resists. Anyway, putting points into int does make it easier during the first 10 lvls.

Yeah, it's still good to have. Especially at the low lvls, it's fine at higher lvls but at war it's good pretty quickly. Better off having Wind Wal.

yes i've noticed that
i've also noticed how much tear apart owns that spell
