An issue thats been present lately is the rise of mages being pretty dominant lately, but I don't think this is an issue with Mage's balance itself, but rather the lack of anti magic tools in the game other than silence..

Heron feather has solved a lot of issues with silence, and I personally think that any mage SHOULD be able to fight against silence, that said I think that anti mage tools need to be put back into circulation, mostly in forms of mitigating their damage, especially the bursty kinds really.

Here are a few suggestions I can add:

-Buffing Voidveil, I think that now that its a main class requirement, this can be bumped back to 30% damage reduction vs magic, Evasion never was the issue here.

-Invocation's "Words of Power" sub-talent should be nerfed to reducing the chance an invocation breaks by 50% at max rank instead of 100%, this would give more windows of opportunity to people who want to fight against a vydel being invoked across the map, and give purpose to Priest's Devocation again.

-Charge Mind should be given a 3-5 round cooldown, it lasts 5 rounds with maxed out brainstorm so if someone doesn't approach an evoker with CM up for that long, the Evoker can just reapply it, its like the old wraithguard (but costs 6m), where in that there's no window of opportunity to approach an evoker who can kite and control the map.

-In Tandemn with this, I think that HSDW should be a main class skill.

Those are just the skill changes, I can add a couple more things I think should be introduced into the game as well.

-Maybe a Torso Piece item that reduces the effectiveness of AoE damage on yourself by 15-20%

-A shoe slot item that reduces magic damage taken by 10%, similar to Ogata Waraji it should have an armor requirement like unarmored.

Also I apologize for the long post, this'll be my last balance topic for a while.
