Celtic Heroes

Great post Aengus. If this issue is not addressed in the next update I'm considering not playing my mage anymore. I need to see at least some sort of progress. Meaningful progress to mages. Also, I will not buy anymore plat until this is addressed with mages. This game needs more mages and by not addressing these issues with them will kill the class. Hence this game will not be fun anymore with just some rogues running around. I will be one of those rogues for a little bit but I assume I will get bored after a bit. THe only regret I will have is that my clan will suffer and probably suffer a significant decline in status.

World Danu
Remyo lvl 96+ Mage
REM lvl 90+ Rogue

Right now on my server, the highest skill hit is a Rogue with over 1700. I am second highest Mage with a little over 860. Keep in mind the Rogue and I are only 3 levels apart.

While I agree with you that mages need improvements in the damage department, I wouldn't put much stock on the online rankings. It's not an accurate barometer of how hard classes hit because most of the top-ranked players there have used Book of Rebirth to put all their stat points in Strength and attacked a level 1 direhound to get those numbers.

So if a rogue is hitting 800 with 250 armour
And a Mage is hitting 800 with 130 armour
Which class r u going to play
Mages should be number 1 as they have less armour
Think I made my point

That's why there are hardly any good mages around. the benifits of levling a mage and playing a mage don't reflect what it take to make a good mage. It is tough to lvl a mage and it's abilities. So to do all of that and hit for 900 on ice shards that take a year to cool down. Not worth it.

Best mage can hit around 1000
Best warrior : 2000

Rogues have more armor than mages
It's very hard to be a good dps when you are a mage because we must max our abilities
Mages are underpowered, maybe we shouldn't be #1 but let us hit more

Yea, what he said.

I don't think anyone is reading all the posts being made. lol
Everyone is stating how Mages have sucky armor. Yea they do but why is it that they can tank?



Here's MY OPINION (based off what i feel these classes should be in an mmo)

Mages: Great Damage, Low Armor and High Health(Energy Shield included)/ So why should they have 3k health and do MORE DAMAGE than rogues?

Rogues: Amazing Damage, Medium Armor and Very Low Health/ Why lower or change any of their damage they they're purely made for DPS

Warriors: Ok damage, High Armor and High Health/ Don't touch them. nuff said



All these classes are balanced out ranging them under these three main categories. I don't even have to go into detail about how fire cloak counts as a higher dps than rogue when fighting Redbane.

3 k health don't last long when you have no armour try it with your rogue and then you know what it's like to be a mage and to have 3k health you need to be an end game player or you won't be able to cast and mages can't tank energy shield leaves you with no mana if you do use it as every hit comes off your mana and when that's gone say byte to your health aswell

Also any class can have 3k health once you have full warden and herioc points don't need to be put into focus and you need full upgraded warden to have 120 armour most mages have a lot less compare that to your rogue th main reason mages pile all those points into vit is str makes very little difference when best wep you can get hits for 30 and your armour leaves you just about naked so putting points there is only way a Mage can live long enough to kill something
I have no problem with rogues been a dps class but it should be balanced by giving them less armour like a Mage or making the Mage hit more than the rogue or give the Mage more armour
Mages r very hard to train ,hard to level hit like girls and have a very poor survival rate compared to all the other classes
I often wonder why anybody uses them and if you look at highest ranking players you see that very few people do

Great to here alot of support for mages

However, I said that I think rogues should still be best dps. I just asked if mages will move up in ranks in terms of dps.
