the previous "balance" was NOT FAIR. Melee has super overpowered equipment, mages have multiple attacks on cast, and archers have supreme distance.
Now, to put this into practice: A melee warrior is able to get close in without risking serious injury with their overpowered equipment, and since they had to get so close they have the advantage in getting ALL THE LOOT while only having moderate damage output on the actual kill. An archer was trying to get a kill and train, using their only advantage in the game: distance. They saw a, as to use your example, Block Bot spawn. The archer was trying to get their kill, and a melee warrior piles onto it! The archer has already tagged this Block Bot remember, and the Block Bot dropped a future helm! Oh, joy! But the melee warrior got it. What has the archer gotten from the warrior? Some xp sapped from the Block Bots.
So tell me, do you honestly think its balance for an archer to get some extra XP, keeping in mind that their only real advantage is distance, while a warrior can lootsteal everything?
NOW, however, archers remain with the ability to XP sap everything! PLUS they are getting the loot! This has become another equally, if not more, unjust system!
Anyways, to sum up what I have written, archers xp sap but at the cost of being completely lootstolen of everything. Now archers can xp sap AND lootsteal, assuming the ranger is stronger than the warrior.
THE MAIN POINT TO WHAT ALL THIS IS ABOUT RIGHT HERE: It wasn't balanced before, its not balanced now. I say, nerf the range of archers to about a mage and a half's distance, after nerfing mage attack range by about 1/4. and give archers some better equipment to compensate, along with a little bit for mages, and leave killsteal protection!
There is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEE load of thoughts I have, so It may seem incomplete in text while full in my mind. And I typed a lot fairly quickly, and I had much more written before but I deleted a load and just put this up. So lemme know where I inevitably messed up. Thanks, and I will be adding more here in the future!
