Reducing PvE dispell effectiveness/frequency

Post by Twily »

I usually love mages of nearly any sort. One issue I've run into on druids, bards(warlock, bard and favored soul), sorcs(both types) and wizards is that dispels are a pain in the butt and very common.

Nearly every dungeon any of these characters ended up in had mobs that almost always cast dispel as one of their first three spells and sometimes they don't stop at just one cast. They keep casting it, usually 2-5 times per mob, which also usually leaves me with no buffs left. I could understand a few dungeons like this but what's beginning to bother me to the point I don't play mages on Arelith anymore, is that 95% of every dungeon on Arelith that I've seen(which is nearly every dungeon in the level 3-25 range) has mobs that do this.

Suggestion: I think there should be a few dungeons spread over various level ranges where a mage doesn't have to worry so much about dispels that they don't even bother casting a majority of their buffs.
