I'd like to know which people wanted a battle mage, because Royale isn't impressing me, and the abilities arn't impressing me.

I see a broken warrior and broken elementist put together to become a double broken class which has nothing so far to offer to the game. And no, broken skills don't count.

Yeah, BahamutKaiser hit the nail on the head. Two halves of a whole don't always make a complete. It's like using cake frosting in place of mayonise on a cheeseburger... Not only is it nasty, it leaves a horrible taste in the back of your mouth which lingers for a day or two, depending on how hard you brush the back of your throat.

Personally what I see wrong is that none of the skills really seem linked together, they seem, disjoined and out of place. Not only are they out of place, some of them are foreign and fail to make any sense, a good example is Metallic Veins.

I do think a energy heavy melee/short range battle mage have a place. However, it is a very small place, as the dual system of GW proff really does a well job in filling that spot.

Anyhow.. the suggested seem blend... But I do wonder what a Force skill is, and how might it be differnt from other skill. more detail on it?
