I do Castle Wars a lot, and PK often p2p with my clan and have noticed that the PvP (play versus player) combat is different in Castle Wars compared to PKing. In black dragonhides I don't often get hit with barrage..Or blitz, etc. But in Castle Wars if they got maxed mage bonus (barrow gloves, infinity boots, ahrims, fury/glory/mage ammy, ancient staff, and mage's book) it's almost impossible to make them fail an attack on you..Especially barrage. I've even had someone in full dragon barrage me in Castle Wars and it not fail.
