for example, you try to kill someone, you're doing a good job, than a fireball flies directly at you and your target, both dead, 2 points for the mage across the map..

ive got confused..make no sense (at all)
i try to make you all understand that DM is a game including slash bombs leap charge etc. and all settings which we still have.
If some1 can to create maps, change settings ^^ it is not necessary to do "your own balance" because you so consider..
Create the MODS, new classes etc..Do not destroy DM try to help to survive and improve it!
I'm gonna explain what you didn't understand first, than tell you my counter on your post.
-Let's say you play as assassin, and if you remember how I play, I never stay beside you because you'll bomb me (try to think how many times you tried to bomb me when I was warrior (1vs1 that is) - as I can recall it was about two times from all the tries. Now, I dodge your bombs, you try to attack me with stances or try more bombs .. we focus on each other ... if this was ctf, your team would leave us attack each other, knowing that the better one will win ... as for Last survivor, there are no "teams", therefore, we'll try to focus on each other, than *boom* mage will shoot a fireball directly in both of us, killing us both (since we had low hp from attacking each other), and *cheers* you just gave 2 kills to the mage. And that's if there's only one mage ingame and that there aren't more people around you.
-Now to talk about your "map settings changing" ... DM was made for Crusade, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag ... if we were to play Last survivor, all the balance in already made mods don't qualify anymore, therefore the settings have already been altered by that action. And by reducing damage output of mages, the duration of stoneskin or increasing the cost of it, would rebalance the state of replension. All I want to say is, if we were to play Last Survivor, the settings must be altered, and I think most of people agree on that.
If you want no settings changed, go play Deathmatch imo, and count everybody's deaths ... (oh yeah, you won't find any deathmatch server up, because it's not balanced *cough*, gl with that)

hell look.
1.if you are will be my purpose(i dont care for other players..only you) i kill you anyway. even without suiciding.
So, if you already have the triggered bomb, that means you have a level 4 already .. therefore the priest should have at least level 3 ... since the state of no bhoping is in play, gl running away from the Priest with Brambles active ... and I think if you do manage to get away from her, she'll just corrupt your ass out.Added (2009-08-01, 2:58 Pm)

Well Hell.. I agree with nikitson on the fact that it is indeed very hard to survive a mage with full dmg.. If he throws a fireorb and hit you perfectly with a fireball so that they explode at the same time, then it is pretty hard to survive
So we're talking about a skilled mage that hits you with both at the same time ... so let's say the priest is also good (if this was a last survivor, I'd say the priest would be good at playing it's own class) ... first of all, you would have hard time not suiciding yourself, running away from brambles, and if you haven't heard, priest doesn't have to be very close to you to kill you, all it takes is two fast fingers.
Dodge the fire orb, run directly into the mage, let him shoot the fireball, and let him injure himself, you can always heal ... and if you haven't noticed the bug in DM that Brambles counter the fire orbs, try throwing the brambles at the same time as he does fire orb and see what happens (I know it's not a big chance to do it, but there is a low chance by getting hit by forb and fireball directly at the same time aswell) ... besides, when you see you have fire orb stuck on you, who's dumb enough to just wait for the fireball to come?
Odds are pretty much on Priest's side ... and that's if you're counting there is no assassin behind mage's back just waiting to kill him when he focuses the priest. And for your "balanced classes here" ... tell me what advantage does Archer have?
Well, the suggestion has been made by Jil already ... and I think it will take part on EYE server, unless you have a better idea ... settings as he recommanded are nice, if you don't like them, there is no contract restraining you to not come.
