Since the balance team doesn't like to talk right now ninja and dragoon both have the ability to get out of every single situation with 5 seconds on their jump and backflip this needs to be increased to 7 or 8 seconds.

Another thing as of now disciple damage needs an increase because it take a very long time to kill classes with low tier armor with its current damage being at 37.
One more day don't worry. You guys could have done stuff without me lol

Just wanted to add that Samurai/Honorblade's parrymagic and Runeblade/Runewraith's devour magic do not actually work on any magic spells aside from bolt. This is pretty important for both their kits as it's their main way of fighting casters and they kind of cant without them.

Alright, I mass checked every skill @lionsarefish listed, ~46 weren't magical so I added it to them.
A test compilation was successful, so the change appears to have applied just fine.

This doesn't technically guarantee they'll all work with DevourMagic/the other one but should at least increase the success rate.

PS. Leo, capitalize properly. I had to fix a bunch of capitalization and that wasted time :(

Short List:
Everyone hates axes classes aside from Pyromancer
Disciple might need left click buff
All warriors apparently suck hard


EDIT: Projectiles seem to have been messed up by 1.9 RIP ranger.

Nerf Magic classes in pvp.
I don't think Magic classes should be able to do that much damage even though its "True" damage. Magic damage isn't the same as true damage yet they can nuke you in 3 abilities.

Wizards don't ever need to use fireball or icebolt, and instead just entangle/bolt/pulse to kill you.
Same with beguilers where they just pigify plague bomb beguil until cds are over.
Pyros seem a little more on the weak side with the skillshot combustion.
Necros can take so much damage while dealing a whole lot with dots/extremely ranged bonespear.

Shamans arent much of a problem but i think the totem should be a little nerfed in damage.

Disciples actually dont need a buff in left click. I've fought a couple and they still do major damage because they dont have a CD on their hits.
They also have extremely good utilities like hp on hit/heals etc etc.

I sort of have to agree with you on this one. I have played Disc and they shouldn't be able to fight most warrior classes by themselves, or mages/rouges for that matter. They are still supports and have enough sustain/utility to remain very viable as supports.

The main issue right now is that ninjas and dragoons can out run anything with their short cds on jump and backflip. If a solo ninja can out run a party with a bard on flat land, even after being CC'ed a couple times, we have an issue.

I was raiding with an amazing disciple named Tkrall and with his auto attack heals we never died. We raided a town and got 3v7'ed and got away safely.
they are amazing classes. they dont need a nerf nor a buff. IMO they are the most balance atm

It's true, you will almost NEVER catch or out run a Dragoon or a Ninja. It's kind of annoying to say the least. They can just get into combat, fight until they get low and just fly away on their magical jump/backflips and you'll never see them again until they come back 30s later with full health again just to annoy you. Their CD's for jump/backflip should seriously be looked at.
