It seems as though the only way that you can play PVP with a reasonable chance is with a melee character. Originally, the game was designed with balances, so that the caster's disadvantage in close combat was balanced out by some powerful spells, and if you were clever, you could sometimes win with spells. However, now that every spell has been nerfed to the point of being almost completely useless, basically if you want to be a caster, forget about PVP - you have only disadvantages with no advantage to balance it out; play offline.

Every time I'm attacked, I mean 100% of the time without fail, it's by a melee character. I'm playing as a caster, and.. I lose 100% of the time, because I don't have anything to hit them with that will make more than a dent, and I have the total disadvantage in close combat.

Am I way off base here?

Do I just suck at PVP, or is there something to what I'm saying here?

Is it about time that From un-nerfed all the spells, so that Casters can actually play PVP?

I end up playing off-line all the time, but I'd rather be able to play online.
