Scrolling over these posts I see:
2 active magi making suggestions;
99% randoms who play classes such as KOTBS/BW who have the audacity to say things such as 'just disable rift, and work on damage later; nerf it, no questions; blablabla'
YES - Rift is a BIT OVERPOWERED.
YES - Rift can do with a NERF. Neither Renork nor I am disputing that.
HOWEVER
If you are going to nerf our ONLY VIABLE ABILITY (how many **** times must I repeat this part - this is the KEY part of my entire sentence, by the way) then there must SIMULTANEOUSLY be given a buff to the class in question, i.e. Magus/Engi.
If you remove rift (which would be hilariously unfair in spit of the prevalence of other blatantly OP abilities that need no mentioning here...), the class is gutted if it isn't given something powerful in exchange.
If you nerf rift (all it needs is some fixing, and a range reduction - that is it), then please remind yourselves of the predicament faced by engis/magis: they are not using rift necessarily because they want to; rather, because it is the only way for them to be effective.
I implore you devs not to take seriously the words of Mez and the KOTBS dude spouting such nonsense as 'aoe magus are ok/dot magus are okay'. These guys have never faced opposition with brains. A single warrior priest can effectively neuter 2 magi. Any class detaunting Magus renders their dots null and void.
I am getting fed up with people saying 'l2p/magus are fine'. This is a lie, it is time-wasting, it is not constructive, and is an insult to those of us who choose to play the class through thick and thin.
ANY GOOD PLAYER can make ANY class shine: that doesn't negate from the fact that x class is 10x worse than y. Simple logic. What is the dispute here?
Magus is and was my main class, and the only class that I could play religiously - despite its flaws. I see ROR as a breath of fresh air, with the potential to rectify so many wrongs with the original game, allowing for a much better, balanced, and immersive experience over all. Therefore it saddens me when I see players with limited experience with said class trying to pass judgement, blissfully ignorant to the issues that genuine players of said class have had to deal with from day one.
