with the patch changes and the new way OL skills function do they work on clan members still? They now work on party members, but that frustrates me.
OL were highly unique, I feels they've lost that.

So, what do you guys think? and how do the skills work now?

They work in the exactly the same way as before + you can buff ppl who are in party with you. It's a boost.
What is all the crying about?

indeed

and the new 3 combo buffs are a great boost too, imo

I was not sure how OL buffs worked. They went from ally to clan and i thought the patch reduced them to party.
It hadn't occurred to me that the buffs were clan and party.

Just making sure I have this correct. Making an OL so want a clear understanding.
OL buffs work on clan and on party and that includes people in your party that are not in your clan? Thats all buffs?

It seems self explanatory. Just want to make sure Im understanding correctly.

Actually, the Overlord and I think more generally, the orc mages, are easier to play.

An Overlord can now buff a party (like a Warcryer does) and buff his nearby clan members at the same time. It makes him easier to party.

With the "Mana VR", soloing is also easier. Indeed, you can let your Soul Cry and your Soul Gard active, and keep your mana at max while hunting :)

Orc mage is really a perfect class now :P

Its almost too easy. My dominator kills hs mobs in Maj Robes easier than most of my other chars, except for my StS. And she has more pdef than my tank had >.<

I work as buffer for mage parties =D. Nothing have change here.

Sometimes I hit a mob about to die to gain some mp back, and thats about it, since is kind of dangerous to melee mobs around the place I hunt with my friends.

Now If you want to solo and get 1/4 of the exp you will get with a nuker party, well yeah you can, if you dont have many nuker friends, I guess is a viable option.

Stop being afraid to smack mobs. Turn on toggles and just start hitting the mobs. I bet you will be surprised at how many hits you can take.

True, Soul Gard and Soul Cry are so crazy... Since the apparition of mana VR... it's incredible :P

I dont melee in nuker zones, I hunt with nukers killing lvl 81+ mobs. It does not matter if I active toggles on or not, it will make not difference. By the time I need to re-buff again my mana is full hitting or not hitting mobs at all.

Now if you dont hunt in such areas and the mayority of your mage buffs are been waste, and you hunt in areas like SV because you either solo, duo, trio or box, yes melee will help and the toggles benefit will come to play.
