The mage uses wands which deal hardly any damage at all, and so tht means totally useless and also means they rely entirely on skills. So, is getting a new wand actually a requirement?

Not really. However the quartz and diamond wands add to fire and ice ability, so then they are kind of necessary to have.

Well your skills are so powerful you dont need to fight with weapons

Mages are the best at PvP

They are over powered in my opinion

Admin correct me if I am wrong but based on the discussions in many threads:

Currently all weapons either do additional damage based on STR or not. The combat engine is not capable right now of giving extra damage based on a stat other than STR. The next revision of the combat engine will permit DEX for bows and FOC for Wands etc.

Then a wand will actually do some energy free damage. This is the biggest downfall of the mage right now. No E = No damage.

Mages are only OP in PVP only if they have a specific build. The current builds for mage are:
  • DPS: lots of damage fast but wait 5 min between fights. Poor for leveling and you spend a lot of time doing nothing in a boss fight but great for PVP
    TANK: Fire cloak and take the hits. Let the other guy kill himself. Emphasis on regeneration and recovery in battle. (not a popular build very limited use will benfit greatly from FOC based Wand Damage)
    Leveling: Emphasis on recovery between fights to decrease down time and increase mobs per minute.
    Balanced: general all around build
