  The only thing you need mana shield for would just destroy you with mana shield on regardless.
  
  Mana shield itself is a moot point when you approach 1k HP.

  
  
  It's harder to deal with wounds without it.

  In all honesty, if wounds didn't exist I wouldn't need to use mana shield.

  I like how I originally made an Elf Mage because Elves were supposed to be essentially the best at magic. But now, I get screwed over by Nexon/devCAT by being not allowed to rank Heavy Armor Mastery, despite owning at least two usable sets of heavy armor.
  
  
  
  Simply fabulous.

  You can still use heavy armor, it just won't be as useful to you as light armor.
  
  Besides, I'm expecting them to come out with a cloth armor that supports magic more than heavy armor does atm but that's jut me assuming. This doesn't "nerf" anything, it makes light armor way better compared to the current heavy armor; so if anything, this is a buff to every class defensively.
  
  Every class will benefit from the armor Masteries in one way or another. If you like the way how your fancy heavy armor looks, then just buy a fashion key like you would in any other mmo.
  :skip:
  
  :edit: Elves are still great mages, they just won't have the defensive capabilities of a human/giant Mage.

  Racial differences for magic are currently very minimal. Not being able to benefit from r1 Heavy Armor Mastery will likely end up shoving Elves to the bottom for magic. Even if they somehow come out above Giants, they're almost certainly going to be below Humans.
  
  I'm talking in terms of both DPS and defensive capabilities, by the way.

  Wonder if anyone tried wearing something like Lugh's Armor while on an elf and if they gained heavy armor mastery by accident. It'd be funny if it worked like that.
  
  Read through all of this and well, I can go wit it. B|
  Honestly, as long as the game gets funner and the missions get harder I'm fine with any updates. :l

  Has anyone thought about how heavy armor+shield will effect PvP? No one can stun anymore. PvP will play out more like WoW with people just going through rotations until their HP bar hits 0.
  
  You might complain about AR or Elf range in PvP, but will it even matter as you can just walk through every attack like it never happened? And once you reach that AR spammer, will your Smash even slow them down or will you both just stand there trading hits? Elf mounted archery means little in guild battles, because they can't stun you.
  
  All in all, Elves can't keep up in any form of PvP now.

  If Devcat ever gets around renewing the Dungeon Arena or dueling in general, they'll have to change not just the skills but the whole combat system for PvP. The recent skill sets (Ex. Fighter, Puppet and Shooter) and the combat system is far too PvE focused.

  Seems fair since elves do get to run further with move casting...

  Pupper and Shooter, yes, but Fighter is great for PvP. In fact, it is by far the most powerful skillset in that regard, at least in duels.
  
  Also, lol @ mages being the ones who benefit most from heavy armor, unlike almost every other rpg ever.
