If u WAIT for others to hurt mobs first (esp mob HP drop by 10-40% already)
then u start nuking, IMHO tat's stealing. But if u start nuking the moment
u see mob spawn, and u hit it SLIGHTLY slower than those melee classes
simply bcoz u need some casting time, I dun take it as stealing. I dunno
what others in the list think, but tat's how I play ;)

p/s: The "CB" player I mentioned below means Ch** By* players ;) Sorry,
too used to CB, CCB, KNN, PCB, NB etc in UO, heheh.
