If enemy casters hit us with an all-out attempt with quickened/heightened CC spells, debuffs, and THEN empowered/maximized dps spells like Fireball or Cone of Cold for example?

Or would it be one of those things like this:

"NO! They put in that one thing I quite!"

Basically what am talking about is better enemy AI of casters so they fight actual mages with weak Constitution cores who would want to take control of their enemies first before unleashing a Ball Lightning spell.

I think a first step should be to fix the already broken AI which causes enemies to run against closed doors or jump off of edges.

You need to help them pass the minimum requirement before you expect them to be geniuses. Right now, they'd have trouble getting out of Kindergarten.

pretty much all enemy spells are quickened already and they have artificially boosted DC's and caster levels so heighten, emp, max would be sort of - well either pointless or excessive. Enemy casters don't follow any of the rules player casters do with regards to spell cooldown time or sp usage or max caster level, or... so... I won't go in detail about how broken dispel is once you get above about level 10 or 15...

Sure enemy caster AI is incredibly stupid, but that's because they all have 3 or 4 spells that they spam and they can't cast any other spells - It also makes certain ones extremely annoying due to what spells they do spam. Better AI would be nice, but difficult to code.

Can we also have 10,000 HP?
