I dont even know how yall are getting 3500+ hp
It feels like an inside joke im missing out on
90 vit 160 magic mage builds with a magic with a heavy resistance mode like earth / metal / magma , all that HP with 300+ damage blasts
Conjurers, Warlords, and Warlocks can do the same thing once level 150 hits
Technically they can do so now
Think of those 3 as sibling builds
Might be a bit overkill as far as Focus goes once these changes drops but Magic needs the hit badly , and if Aura is one of the places itâs getting hit then god bless imo
Something Iâd really like to bring up to any Testers still reading this thread is the current state (and lack thereof) of visual clarity in AO. Anyone whoâs fought a Mage build with high size knows half the reason that these builds are so strong is genuinely just because you cannot see anything. I would KILL to get an outline of players youâve combat tagged, or have combat tagged you. Would help with the problem of running too.
Especially the disjointed hard magic builds
Might as well be standing on other side of mount Othrys and get hit by Gold/Earth/Metal
sensing will solve this so weâve held off on making any suggestions

Sensing requires you to stand still and use it as a seperate ability, it absolutely will not fix that.
the sensing youâre thinking of yea it wouldnât, but thatâs not how itâll be
Wonât ask too much deeper since I know yaâll probably canât divulge much on it , but hoping itâs not just active while charging like it was in AA. If itâs something that can be passively activated thatâs huge.

I just really hope that this gameâs pvp is put into a state where its actually fun and not plagued with bullshit well before sensing is added in any form.
Until the 1000 damage builds and island sized AoE builds are gone, there needs to be a way to escape and hide.
or u could fight instead of running lil bro
how the fuck do you fight either of the builds I just described without also being one of them.

thatâs the exact mindset that keeps you down in PvP , just because a build is overtuned / overpowered doesnât mean that you canât use the tools at your disposal to kill them , this balance patch will sure as hell even things out a lot more but Iâve fucked up a lot of cocky max power Metal / Magma pulsar / aoe spam builds by keeping cool and looking for openings

it absolutely does if Iâm a warlock and everything I do requires me to get within hugging distance to do negligible damage and they can two hit me.
Iâve killed meta mage builds on my lock plenty 
good for you, youâre fighting the most downright stupid meta players in the game.
Well, are you not gonna lvl up after that said update
are you gonna stay at lvl 125
youâl probably be on their lvl with your build and their build respectfully
