i agree mages can do m***ive damage with spells but they require mana to do so. magic weapons require nothing. you dont use more stamina to use them you dont need a special skill (like eval is related to mage damage)
you seem to be set on the thought that protection is better then sliced bread. its nothing compared to stun, healing, or melle. it lasts for 60 seconds and it makes it so your spells cannot be disrupted by someone who only has to run next to you and double click for both damage and defencive disruption. protection and RA should not even be an issue here. it is apparent that magic weapons are the reason the majority of the top "duelers" are tanks. you dont see the leaders board swamped with the all mighty scribes, do you?
I never said scribes were all mighty, actually, I said they were much better on the field than they ever would be in a duel pit, protection and RA or not. Its easy to kill somone though when a knife to your face doesnt interupt a spell. Stun is a *****, but a mage without scribe can still use protection and stun. Melee only does damage because of magic weps, without magic weps, melee either does little damage, or the damage isnt frequent enough to matter. You seem to think ive only played dexers my entire life when that is certainly not the case. Also, for mages you need magery med and eval, for a warrior you need weapon skill, anatomy, and tactics, so it doesnt matter if the magic wep is tied directly into one of those, because you still generally need all three, just like a mage anyway. RA shouldnt be an issue, protection should be. Also, im not sure if youve noticed, but its not like i brought up the issue of protection, its kind of the point of this entire thread.
Also, I find it humerous that M A S S I V E gets censored due to these new damn filters ><
