Just replying to a few posts at once:

This statement is purely based on your opinion. In no way am I putting
wizards or Druids down. I really like playing my wizard (and I have a
druid too which is probably my 2nd favorite character). I'd give up my
gate inside Cazic for one in Ferrott (bit safer and more centerally
located). I'd give up my gate in North Ro for the one in South Ro.
(Closer to Guk and I already have the one in West Commons for Freeport).
I wish I had a gate to misty or one to Steamfont. It would be nice to go
home to AkAkanon quickly whenever I wanted. I suppose the Nektulos gate is
good if your a Dark Elf. I think the Druid gates are a bit better located
but I am happy to live with what verant chose to give us.

As a personal request please refrain from describing the people on this
list as idiots. Its generally not nice and its hard to determine someone's
clinical IQ from email.

All mana calculations are done the same for all Casters (not Hybrids).
Druids, Shamen, and Clerics, generally have less mana than many pure
casters but only due to the fact that most of the those races don't have
wisdom scores as high as the intilligence scores of many pure casting
races. Aside from that there is no difference. Give a Cleric, Druid,
Shamen, Wizard, Necro, Magician, or Enchanter 150 wis or int and they will
all have the same mana at the same level.
Paladins, Rangers and Shadow Kinghts are in the same position with each
other. They will all have the same mana if they have equal wis and int
respectively, at the same level.

A: Druids's don't play songs.
B: Bards play songs and they use the Hybrid mana rates to calculate the
mana that they have for the very few songs that they actually use mana for.
C: If you ment to mean that we should have more mana than Druids, I don't
see why. Try playing one. Once you get past the 20s your pretty much a
mana only person. Sure you can take a few extra hits (like 2 or 3) and
maybe you can do a bit more damage in melee but its not that much. Not to
bash on Druids as I said earlier I like that class but when stuff his
hitting for 50 to 70 damage with multiple attacks Druid's don't last too long.

Hope that helps someone, hope it offends no one.
All the oppinions express here are only mine.
