Subject re last stand / pk logs / etc.
Out of curiousity -- is the point of posting the last stand logs just for fun or because there's an implied balance issue that is silently being asked to address? Regarding potions/pills and warfare : Malachi, I implore you to try using the same potions and pills in warfare to see if the results are the same. I do understand your complaint : These potions/pills kill the spirit of PK and they cause balance issues. What I'm asking is, have you tried using them yourself? Do they then make fights feel more balanced? These pills/potions do come with a very real price - time and gold. The entire purpose behind adding these type of items was to encourage players to invest more time/gold into buffing up their character. They are available to everyone, though you might need a mage or ranger specifically to brew the potions. You can find the herbs yourself. This isn't a rhetorical suggestion to Malachi or anyone else for that matter, either. Try matching your character to another and see how the results change. Have you also considered not sinking 6000 mana into indefinite duration spells? Do you really need everything to be indefinitely cast? You're losing out on a very significant amount of mana this way.
