I read all the answers and I do not completely agree with the most. I totally agree with the idea of a mage wearing cloth like Gandalf but I think it could be awesome to find another kind of mage in the game. I personally would like to find different kinds of mages, not only the classical one, and this could be solved with the talents: we could have of course a talent specialization in which you can play as the traditional mage; but it could be also another specialization focused more on a mage not melee but with lesser range-powerful habilities and with a leather armour, cause of course, he is going to receive more damage.
One example: the "frost" mage could be the classical one, in which the taunt/frost spells plays an important role. The "fire" mage, instead, unlock the leather armour and receives a bonus of damage for their spells but as a counterpart, the range of the spells are reduced to a half, so he is going to be very powerful but more exposed to receive damage.
Let's get those precious minds to work and shape the best possible concepts for the classes.
So how will this work? We will ask you 5 questions (a question every day) about the class of the week. All your answers will be gathered and then evolved if needed, to create the best, and most fun to play class.
Yes! It's the week of the Mage! First, we will talk about the Armor.
Gorgeous Robes? Battlemage with chain mail armor? How about leather?
Let's see what comes to your mind and what would be best for the Mage.
I suggest mages only wear clothes as armor, if there is an option of close combat for mages then mail armor is the best option.
If we can also change our combat specialization, with that we can switch between cloth and mail armor.
In my own opinion, I think mages are best in show with cloth armor.
for me the mage is a sorcerer or magician it all depends on how you define it I think that a light 'cloth' armor would be the right choice to differentiate the classes with the armors of another style because a mage a plate would be bissare unless he have a specialization which tank for example puts good special not on that people will like good luck to find the ideas look forward to discovering the continuation.
