Hi Jeff and Glitchless Associates:
The Caster class in nod (in my opinion) is a little nerfed. The reasoning for this is because they dont seem to have any special high powered benefits to help them in the game.
If possible I would like to see some epic DD gems or something so the casters do not need to rely on staff damage and melee to get them through battle.
I fully believe that casters should be relying on magic and have the staff as some form of side item that might help a little bit in battle (similar to how pets help non-beastmasters). They should be able to "machine-gun" out the gem attacks without having to be super high level. All classes seem to be able to do what casters do, we are just tougher.
Somethings to consider to add to Casters:
More battle gem slots
Epic Caster only gems (direct damage)
Faster gem haste to start
I don't know maybe someone else has better suggestions, i've played more with regener than Wizard but have experience with both up to lvl 25 over 6 months (yes i level slow... some people don't want to be capped right away

)
