Make maging more viable for attack role in Barbarian Assault, with 2 easy fixes!
1. Add 5 damage to every magic attack when a player is level 5 in attacker role (and 4 damage for level 4, etc). For example: instead of fire surge spells hitting 0-24 as normal, they would always hit in the 5-29 range (damage boosting gear aside) for level 5 attackers. When you are level 5 in the attacker role, your minimum hit with range or melee is 5. Magic can both splash and still hit less than 5. Not fair for mages!
2. Let us toggle the Attack Item Machine to dispense runes with left-click or arrows with left-click. Why should ranging get preference all the time for everyone? At the very least, have a left click dispense arrows as normal, but also as many types runes as possible into available inventory space. Justice for mages!
3. (Optional). Raise the maximum hit of spells within Barbarian Assault, and make the maximum hit the same regardless of element. For example, Fire Surge and Wind Surge would both have the same max hit, instead of wind spells always being weaker. Casting spells is slower than most ranged weapons, and standard spells have lower damage than the provided arrows in BA, so I think some kind of boost is needed to make things more even.
I'm not saying make maging the new meta, just help it keep pace with the other 2 attack styles. Where is the love for magic, Jagex?
