    I've had warriors that would dash once if you got close, then just spam parry so much that you couldn't get a single hit without getting a shockwave back. A few of the warriors I fought do nothing at all but parry, to the point of using spots to replenish energy to parry more. Yes, a warrior can parry all the orbs shocks cause they spam the parry so much that they take no damage.

    DAAAAAAMN.

    I gotta try that now.

    The multiple parry/counterattack is crazy, I understand no real cooldown for block, but doing back to back (how ever many times they can do it) counter parrying makes you invincible the whole time, while dealing out damage. There should be no cooldown on block, but at least like 2 second cooldown on the counter attack.
    This is just something that I realized after seeing warriors double parrying while inside vaj'ra and now I guess the orb parrying.

    Double parry vaj ra is extremely hard for me because if the button lags or is unresponsive for even half a second, vaj ra is knocking you down, and then you'll die to the fists.

    This would be something I would be willing to accept, atleast a step in the right direction. Give other classes a chance to hit warriors spamming parry.

    Monks are still ridiculous for a mage to face with equal gear/skill. Even lower geared monks that know what they are doing can be untouchable by a mage, just as deadly too. Once a monk has top tier weapons really.

    I would love to see something changed...

    So again. Frustrated by monks. Thought I should share that.

    Glu, please help lessen the suck of pvp for mages. Please.

    Monks are just untouchable. Even if I spam abilities for the entire fight. Aiming as best I can. Using ice blink and even getting the monk with it. They just roll out. Place Lightning orb for the pure intent of only the initial zap hitting them, still nothing.

    It doesnt matter how well I play as a mage. Unless I want to stoop to the level of a cheap, lame, coward, smelly face (hit and then hope I can run away from a good monk).

    Ill say it again. NO MATTER HOW WELL I USE MY ABILITIES A MONK WILL ALWAYS TRUMP A MAGE. This isnt even a theory. I am sure that wikipedia has this listed as fact.

    "Eternity warriors 3. Monks will always win against mages in an equally geared and skilled scenario." " No matter what, mages have no chance against a monk." "this is not a theory, its fact." - wikipedia.

    See. right there. Its in wikipedia now you can not say it isnt true.

    I guess I should jailbreak my iphone and hack my way to the top too. That would make it soooo much fun. It would be nice to cause someone at Glu a headache though.

    It really is not fun to face a monk that, if played well, can counter all my abilities no matter how perfectly I play (I am not perfect).

    It makes me want to donkey punch the people in charge of balance in this game.

    1. restrain teleport or you'll get pounced on
    2. plan on lots of potions
    3. they are pinned while using skills unless they roll to break off attack. good time for an orb
    4. A missed roll + vortex means you can orb and ice. They will roll out but get zapped twice. guess the roll direction and have fire ready.

    A monk lagging doesn't help them unless just running lol, if anything, if you lay down a orb, they wont see it until its too late. a lagging mage is impossible to catch, even when they are attacking you.
