To bring balance in pvp. A mid lvl mage should not beable to completely "own" a high lvl warrior, archer and easily compete with high lvl mages.

By increasing m.def with level you are fixing an obvious unbalanced aspect of the game.

It would also help other classes of the same level compete against mages.

PS Sorry for not explaining I thought this was an obvious issue :)
Most games have a rock, paper, scissor thing going on

Mage at same lvl will almost always win to warrior
Warrior will almost always win to archer
Archer almost always win to Mage

Depending on luck, lvl, and play style of course (I think TMW is unbalanced also)

This has been brought up at least 9 times before. They will not change it. Because they do not have to, and do not care.

Len mages own all. Mage has a greater range then a archer, twice as deadly, and can heal themselves.

I would personally like to see the whole magic system shut down and restarted.


It is a broken system that simply can not be fixed.


And with the increase in iron drop rate, it is simply worst now.

I realize this and already stated that I agree that the current system TMW has is unbalanced

I guess a PVP ladder dominated by mages would gain some attention. Without server sided statistics, a programmer is mostly not convinced.

I used to be a mage, and I owned all. It needs balancing.

or maybe M.def = armor + int
or maybe
M.def = M.atk + lvl( or armor ) ÷ 4

How about not linking defense and magical defense?

We need way more equipment to make sense of the economy anyway.

I was thinking: If metal armor decreases mana, shouldn't it also help deflect mana-based attacks?

I do like the rock-paper-scissors idea though... I really want to balance things out more for PvP, I'm just looking for ideas.

Level divided by intel(if greater than 1) plus defence spell plus 1/10 armor.

This would give a nonmage some defence but still allow them to feel the attack. What about giving nonmetal shields a magic defence rating to help with lighting?
