Sorcs and spell damage

[aylad]

I've had it up to HERE *points at tip of horns on helm* with these sorcerors!!!

Walking along, just finished training myself up to a new level, patting myself on the back for these great new stats.... some guy in a blue hat comes up, taps on the keyboard a few times, and before I even know he's a PKer I'm waking up in a bedroom (which is broken, btw, I have to unstick me to get out of the room). "Magic bullet killed Aylad."

Melee fighters who know spells are even worse because I can't even tell whether they're going to fight me or not.

And before all you sorcs start complaining about "well we can't use melee weapons so that's fair," listen up: If I could kill anything on 2k2, in one hit, by typing in "/invoke blah blah" or whatever -- I WOULD SELL MY DIAMOND SWORD first chance I got. Melee weapons are worthless when you can kill in one hit, and both weapons and armor are worthless when the PKer standing offscreen is able to summon the Fist of Whoever from Heaven and squash a warrior like a bug.

This is a "suggestions" forum..... my suggestion? SPELL DAMAGE SHOULD BE AFFECTED BY ARMOR, AND SHOULD BE EQUIVALENT TO MELEE WEAPON DAMAGE.

This one-hit kill thing is the most annoying aspect of 2k2 - much, much worse than the NPC Server crashes, worse than melee-fighter PKing, worse than having to walk for half an hour to get anywhere. Worse than getting stuck on the Western half of the main isle and having to come all the way from Palmaloma after unsticking.

Somebody, please, please do something about this.
