Not suggesting making it give you the full 36ma bonus. Even making staff give 1-1ma each 10 skill or something which would grant 5-5ma post azure. But as stated there's now point currently going beyond .. Azure. And with current drop frequency - shiro. And even at that frequency gtr ;o

Also 2 mages of equivalent int in full md gear don't exactly do much damage to one another either. Only becomes monstrous if not wearing md gear.
Mages are forced to wear armour at mass events gvw etc due to acc and melee bonuses. However if the Ma was boosted slightly those wearing acc may be forced to drop a piece wearing md gear..

I agree with this wholeheartedly.

People always say that magic does far too much damage, yet in almost all cases, refuse to actually wear magic def gear.

Op op op, please. How many hard in hsoma have 300+ att and how many have 300+ ma? Exactly.

This thread isn't a plea for ma, it's reporting the bug that there is no incentive to continue with staff over the final staff skill requirement (146 for hsoma, 99 for dsoma? Although unsure of dsoma 4th staff req). That is a bug regardless of personal feelings. 180,190,200 skill regardless of weapon takes work and should be rewarded accordingly, it is with melee weps, not with staff.


To avoid a potential mass ma increase I asked the question to finito of its possible to install fixed skill bonuses, for example every 10 skill or every 50 as opposed to the current calculation. That has probably been lost now due to the unnecessary posts spamming out the thread.

Was just discussing this at e wh with Hurricane. Even he thinks it should be sorted :(

"QUIMM"Op op op, please. How many hard in hsoma have 300+ att and how many have 300+ ma? Exactly.

think thats the other way around now tho to be fair, many a mage chilling with well over 300 MA

also nobody pvp's in full defense/magic defense gear unless your tanking a stone in peace mode.

oh wait mages wear melee armour giving them all that extra defense
