1.  Magic sucks right now.


2.  Yes, and another one MIGHT be on its way.

2: To my knowledge it has, but there may be an item wipe later on.  Someone correct me if I\'m wrong.

1: I think the developers are very far from having things balanced the way they want.  Keep in mind PS is still very much under construction, it\'s still very far from a 1.0.  Balancing is still being worked on and I\'m sure any issues will be remedied at the earliest possible time.

Hmmm, magics underpowered, if it doesn\'t stay this way, then it might be a great idea to be a mage, if you\'re a decent to good mage now, you\'ll be great once they balance it, even if they wipe, you know your spells...

That would be saying you should use a dagger on a stone golem and a water spell on a tree monster <_<

I doubt if someone knows great combo\'s with spells, the weakness and strengths of spells, then even if he was wiped, he would still know the combo\'s etc, ...thats what I mean

Drey stop aggrevating him LOL!!!

Anywho magic is in its infancy and it says there is a wipe so i believe there will be... plus one Dev said that there will be a wipe and they dont like doing it so they will only do it when they are 99.9% sure it is the last time... because it isnt possible to be 100% sure or anything... even asying im 100% sure i can walk 8 yards in two hours... because you may break your foot or something and fall and have to go to the hosspital... NOT WALK TO IT be on a stretcher... so yea...
