The recent upgrades make mages competive , i can see a mage in my range dealing 10% to 20% more damage
Example
wyerns
Mage Iceshard 790+
Warrior great slash. 550+
Mage Fireball 280
Warrior Pummel 320+

I think otm should let a good testing time pass before more changes are made to mages .

As they should. A mage uses spells to kill a mob, whereas a warrior uses brute str through a weapon. I can only use my magic. You get to use your weapon.

you are only looking at skills though. what happens when you compare the melee damage you do while skills cooldown - my guess is the overall picture starts to change. But i do agree, allow for some testing and feedback before making more major changes.

Only 280 fireball? I constantly see 400-600 fireball. Infancy I was training with a 131 Mage earlier today on Wyverns and he was hitting 400+ fireballs. I don't think that is too OP, but I think it is right. I don't think mages really need MORE of a buff.. I think they can out DPS Hybrid/Tank warriors (as they should), however may still struggle to beat Rangers or Rogues. (as they should? Or maybe they should be a little closer to rangers?) idk.. But the buff was certainly noticeable.

Lol problably mage has less skill points on fireball, this actual data. Saw on 3 hours of game playing side by side

Usually when you cast a skill as warrior you dont auto hit so if do combo and press pummel , great slash , sweepong blow i will not auto attack , and i mean hitting as hybryd warrior. If i talk about tank i will get out dps in a bit . But i think the cool down time of fireball and auto attack now are pretty close with out the delayed of the wep on warrios skills have ....

Im just saying dont get crazy let a bit time pass or all you gain now will belost if you guys over power. By the way the mages on my server they always have been powerful meaning they can ks anytime ......

Basically now mages are OP......and they know it ( great job creating a forum pantomime ) and yes it was constant whining

So ima stick up for the warriors now.....cause we stink and we one step away from being out dps by druids

Ima make general post for warrior whinge and get the true brutal warrior back !!! Who can compete ( or try to ) :lol:

Lol,

Mages were so weak, it was a complete embarrassment. Now they are more or less even with other classes. You may think they are OP but consider we only have limited skill points to allocate, and with so many skills to choose from. So one Mage may have a couple of powerful spells, but at the expense of neglecting other much needed spells.

Also, with a lot of anti-Mage comments on other threads, many players wanted mages to be support and not take the offensive role. It's about time mages got the fix. At last we are out of the shadows!
