[S]This is so inaccurate. Where are the arrows, Counter/Defense/Windmill spammings?[/S]

Anyway as a midway-Giant Mage, although this video is great, Magic does not work in PvP. It's a pipe dream. Bows and Arrows always prevail against Magic (e.g. after I did a normal melee combo with a wand and quickly loaded a bolt at the end, and it was fully loaded, I couldn't shoot it due to the stun that melee has whereas the Archer I was fighting was already out of stun and barraging me with AR)

However a few weeks ago there was a mini Connous Arena meet and Magic was very great there especially Thunder and Fusion Bolt. Magic will lose in Duels (unless of course you spam IS/use Mana Shield)

Might be interesting to see what, if anything, changes when this so-called "revamp" goes live.....

Thanks for sharing!

Magic works in PvP, you just need to know what to do.

Teach me master! No seriously, even with my Casting Speed reforged 240 Crystal Lightning Wand and a fully loaded Lightning Bolt always loses to AR after a melee combo, and there's no way to stun lock anymore. The changed combat system made magic less effective in PvP Duels because Magic relies on stun to have enough time to charge spells but players don't get stunned long enough anymore. Even without doing a melee combo I can't charge a bolt fast enough (.78 Seconds) to throw at an Archer

Before combat change:

was much easier to win with Magic thanks to stun. But now ARers are nearly unbeatable since nothing stuns (save for IS but that's player-banned from spamming)

Sadly I'm in Ruairi, [S]the best server filled with h4x0rs left and right.[/S]

If I get a chance I'll record what the dilemma(s) I experience is.
