I found that they performed really poorly at low levels and were very under powered, but once you broke level 12 or so, they started to become overpowered when compared to other core classes.<br /><br />Historically casters have been underpowered at low levels, they have very few hit points making them into glass cannons, and the spell memorisation mechanic of yore meant that they ran out of spells very very quickly, sometimes mid fight, meaning there was little they could do but piff daggers from the side lines because they were fragile and had almost no weapons skills (or strength to make the damage worthwhile).<br /><br />Melee on the other hand, performed well at low levels, but would get overtaken by casters as the levels ramped up. <br /><br />Neither situation is fun, in both cases on player (or group of players) feels like they are not participating, which is generally pretty boring.Felinaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500589466713807734noreply@blogger.com
