[1.2.278] Even moar skill balancing

Let's make Ultimates cost 21000 MP to cast, so that no magicians can possibly even use it until close to level 200, without HB.

The way the game is structured is a spectrum:

Mobbing ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Single-Target

Mages --- MM --- Paladin --- Shadower --- Bucs --- Drk --- Heroes --- Aran --- BM --- NL --- Corsairs

What do you do if you halve the attack of an Arch Mage's ultimate? If you're going to halve a mage's mobbing ability, then you have to buff it's single-target ability, or you'll destroy the point of playing a Mage. If you buff it's single target ability to the point of balance, then a mage will essentially become a hero with different looking skills... which will probably threaten your NLhood even more.


NLs don't need buffs. They're on the other range of the spectrum. They don't need any stronger single-target skills, because Triple Throw is already strong enough, and they're not supposed to have strong mobbing skills, because that's the trade-off NLs have for godly single-target damage, just like mages trade their single-target damage for godly mobbing skills.

If you're so envious of Mages that you feel threatened that they're getting buffed, why don't you make a mage? If you can't give up your single-target but still want decent mobbing, make a warrior class.

Also, there's a reason why this is called a balancing patch. Buffing every class proportionally destroys the point of all these changes.

because mage sucks and is boring to play

FYI mage is already the most abundant class of maple
