More like 40%Doesn't help that 99% of the playerbase also thinks that gish is a bad martial glued to a bad caster with absolutely no mechanics to mix them.
A fighter should hit a lot and do fancy manoeuvres with their sword.
A wizard should blast things with a fireball.
A swordmage should set their sword on fire and hit people with it.
Most of the community under 49 watched enough anime, Saturday morning cartoons, and action movies to know how a gish is supposed to fight.
It's literally, and its a bit ageist, only people who are over 55 or se who didn't grow up with that media who don't get it.
