Good cover! Several notes though - I played beta and light and melee attacks of all magic weapons are now free (no mana cost), so mana management is not as much of an issue as you think. Second - mana potion can be used to restore health with an earring perk, so even using mana potions can be beneficial for surviving. As crit is nerfed in PVP (equip load reduction + 150 Con bonus), playing a non-crit perk with mana potions can be viable too.
Games have ups and downs, so it is quite normal during dead period of no new content to have low numbers. As long as there are above 1k players in a server, everything is cool as you can do your content.
thoughts on the big FS nerfs? in NW Aeternum.. see FS still being a top dps? (which is prrty much its main n solo role, damage) i think they actualy might have kinda made FS meh now.. they listened to all the FS haters..
I'm not sure if Fire Staff is getting nerfed. I think that the weapon has been in a good spot for some time now, but it is hard to keep up with the mele and the number of extras they have.
