Well it seems that patch 1 will not only bring content but also REALLY screw the mages,
the term 'here we go again' comes to mind,
perhaps nevrax really do have someone from SOE telling them how to make patches, eg atm in patch 1 'bomb' only hits 2 targets.. great (sarcasm) a very effective bomb.. not. Still costs 40 sap to cast but u can combine with ricochet lol so that 80 sap before u even add the spell lmao.
so lets see so far as a mage .. humm .. hmmm... ur screwed and bored left in a field surrounded by mobs u cant attack sooo u harvest and craft instead.. oh the joy!
Personally im really starting to think nevrax is walking too fine a line, and a word of warning .. be VERY careful with ur nerf axe u may axe more than just the game.

(remember ur great RAID engine? bombs etc are VERY important if u want it to work properly basically nerf bomb again and im off)

Bomb 1, Bomb 2, Bomb 3 all only hit two targets? You checked to see if the number of targets increases with Bomb version?
Just curious, not having a go! (Healer, so would love to know).

If it's anything like "circle attack", bomb will hit more than 2 targets - but with lessened effect. Circle attack will hit 2 targets for full damage - more than 2 and the damage gets attenuated.

I suspect that bomb works in much the same way.............

Quite not.

They will re-balance some of the harvesting changes. After that is done, the patch added some necessary changes for the long term game play.
