Default Re: Are You Sick of Casters too?

Lol. Has nothing to do with playing style. Unless you consider character classes a style.

I have kinda narrowed it down tho.

If I join a game and see an oracle I just leave. No offence to anyone, but I seriously doubt anyone who plays with such a class as melee, you get 2 things.. lag, and no fun.

Like volcanic orb, or whatever the fire spell that explodes and makes all those smaller fireballs bouncing, is like graphics lag from hell. I leave on that one too.

The biggest issue though is really the lag. I can party with around 4-5 melee toons no sweat, but the second a freaking spell guy comes in, we all lag like hell. That there is the single first reason I want to avoid them. I can play with 5 ppl smooth as a babys arse, till someone comes in with all these spells.

Then there is the other factor, of they kill entire mobs in 1 shot. I bet its a heck of alot of fun in SINGLE player to waste the game, but not if you are online.

To reiterate the example, the 3 meleer's (myslef included) we were in the labrynth end of act 1, with this druid. No one typed anything, but we all did one thing in common. We tried to go other ways than the caster. If he was heading said way, the 3 of us all went another way. As I said, I did not know these ppl, they didn't know me, and no one even typed anything. But you could just sense that we wanted to get away from this person.

It was nothing against them either. They were just ruining the fun is all. I am not bashing, or being biased here either. Its not about that at all.

I believe the caster kind of caught on too. Like, he started not to cast, and let us fight. Now, this was kinda ok, as he was just standing there, but then next mob he would cast and they would all die. So we would wait till he ran on, and all head a different way. This was still with no typing, or any communication. It was I guess just a gup morale type thing.

Now I realize half the fun for some in this type of game is to get the most powerful toon they can, and I like that aspect alot as well, and sympathize.
However, It is just plain no fun. Sorry to the casters.

Lastly, this is only for higher difficulties, epic+legend. I will party with a mage type in normal, as they aren't 1 hitters at that stage.
