Well mages are real fun but ranger are fun also lol...
Im a lvl 110 mage its fun and all BUT mages are hard to take care of... If u arent on a combo u will need tons of energy regen
Rangers are much easy to take care of and is fun cuz rapid shot helps and the bow are lookings cool but stil waiting for visible quivers and ranger are fun cuz with bolas u can basically solo anything thats melee hits

Forget the mage.

You don't know what kind of grief I just saved you.

Unless your rich, or want to throw multiple iDevices out your window, go with ranger.

I third that!

I’m pretty disgusted with my mage now. I respec to support, and I only lure or give energy. I can’t do any of the daily’s as I can’t attack or do anything. I respec back to offensive build, and I struggle to get anywhere when levelling and am no use in a boss group or high level hp mobs. It cost’s plat every time I want to respec back again, as sticking with one build cannot generalise to other situations, unlike a ranger, where one build pretty much does it all. I’m levelling a ranger now, and the only hassle is deciding whether to go dexterity or strength build, that’s it.

Ranger is the best. I love the long ranged attacks and the good dps. Light heal makes lvling easier too.

He said fun, not hard to level. Mages are fun, with all their sheilds and magical lures and attacks. =3

I go through phases with my mage. One week, I'll be like, "Mages are so f***ing awsome! I'm going to go and grind the s*** out of my mage" and for the rest of the month I'll be like, "Why did I even spend so much gold, plat, and time on my mage? Why is my mage so high leveled as an alternate character? WTF am I doing?"

No kidding, I have baught too many books of rebirth and books of alternation just to figure things out and try to adapt to different situations in game (like killing trees to killing golems etc). Not only that, but I have also spent quite a bit of plat on energy sigils mostly because energy boost sucked before and energy regen is important. Idols? Yeah, I baught a ton of those too but not to tank, just to do basic things.

Mages can be fun but there is a price to pay and that price comes literally out of your pocket. You know what? Forget about which is more fun and ask yourself, "Can I afford to have fun on a mage?"

If the answer is yes, move onto this question..."Do I want to constantly cast skills or do I want the ability to reliably auto attack?"

Hope this helps you decide for yourself

That’s exactly how I feel SirBlaze. I’m going through a rough patch with my mage at the moment. However, I really like my ranger, and I am loving the autos and not having to keep respecing all the time. Rangers are certainly a less frustrating class to play.

I really wish that OTM would give mages a decent wand that does a decent auto attack (I’m level 130 and my wand damages at 25 lol), which would then allow us to free up some skill points to a few spells only. I would also love to see OTM combine lures, 6 is just so ridiculous. Taken together this would allow us to create a build that could generalise to other situations (mobs/bosses/solo/group).

I know mages are not the only class that needs some TLC, so I hope that in the next update, all our characters get a bit of a makeover.
