Praetor

As a player who runs a level 45 mage and who has been playing the game for several months I request that the frostbite become a distance snare.  Reason is that in dungeon instances it would be very useful to support the team, as currently don't use it at all except for spiders with Lord Undeath in BT.

Other class snares are distance snares. Mages are stuck with a snare that requires mage to run into midst of mobs but otherwise mage is a distance class. Mages have the lightest armor (along with prophets) so makes no sense for a snare to be under the mages feet. Mage class is not designed to run into the middle of the mobs in dungeons.

This would really help mages in their support of parties.

Opinions?

This has been requested before but I am posting it again because I have never seen a response by staff as to why they have not done this.

Please change the mage/prophet staff melee DPS to sorcery.

Templars, Warriors, Assassins, and Rangers all get weapon DPS (melee or ranged) as well as a side item that gives melee or ranged DPS. Only Mages and Prophets get an essence for sorcery but a melee DPS staff.

Please fix this.

As well as fixing the loot table for staffs, please set up a schedule for Cow personnel to be at the ec fountain where we can trade our existing staffs for the new ones with sorcery (instead of melee) DPS. People can submit tickets to indicate they request a replacement so staff will know how many need a replacement (and what kind of staff).

I suggest a thread where the HC staff can indicate why they chose not to implement various suggestions by players. That way we won't keep posting suggestion threads that have been previously posted.
