Wth, mages build was changed just because you buttholes were getting killed in PVP, WHO GIVES A SHUT about PVP?!!!
Mages need that build to level IN GAME. Who gives a flying frick about who beats who in pvp?!
I can't believe $1000 spent in this game wasted bc a bunch of dildoes care if they can kill someone else one on one...I need to kill bosses, I need to kill mobs. I don't care about if your frickin new offhand can kill me in one hit, big deal, now what? Oh kill someone else 100 times in a row? Great. Now what? Oh, go kill a boss or do a quest? Yeah, THAT'S THE GODDAMM GAME! NOT PVP!
Changing mages builds for the sake of pvp is unforgivable.
Change the skills back.

#3not nerfed because of pvp, nerfed because dps was beating rogues.
mages are intended to win short fights, and be support. not win long boss fights

Re: Mage nerfed bc of pvp?!
#4Well that's a damn pitiful justification then. Long fights are affected by mage energy issues. When I cast a lot in a boss fight I run out of mana, even with energy boost. Making the class unplayable against anything but one star mobs is a pitiful way to address that which, I will point out, was already addressed by mana consumption.not nerfed because of pvp, nerfed because dps was beating rogues.

Re: Mage nerfed bc of pvp?!
#5Pigman, what the hell are you talking about? Mages win short fights? Since when? A rogue will deal fast hard damage and get a kill everytime. Mages only hope is a long fight to repeatedly blast the opponent before we die. No way we are meant to win a short fight unless our skill regen is a LOT faster. I cast two skills : shards and blast. If they are both successful and the mob is still alive I pray my shield won't collapse before my skills regenerate so I can throw another one. If that should evade, I pray my shield is close to being able to be recast. Either way, it's a difficult way to kill a mob trying to level without using pots to stay alive. I can't level alone without pots while lixed, or u sit and wait to double shield a mob. This was BEFORE they nerfed us.
People who don't play a Mage just do not understand how bad this truly is.
We play to have fun, for me personally, having built up my Mage for two years it's a slap in the face for all the support I've given otm, financially and by helping build a strong community in the game. I'm not saying it would even matter if I stopped playing this game to otm, but otm has unjustly ruined this game for anyone playing a Mage. I've read all the comments about this nerf, most people agree that mages got the shaft. We need everything put back the way it was.

#6They were too harsh on eshield and ice blast thou.not nerfed because of pvp, nerfed because dps was beating rogues.

I suggest keep eshield in v4 stat (but nerf them for pvp, PVP ONLY)
Ice blast reduce 20% (45% basically turn it into poop)
Re: Mage nerfed bc of pvp?!
#7I think it would be nice for a dev to actually come out and say what they intend to be top dps and list from #1 dps class to #5 dps class. That way we wouldn't have all these people complaining that mages are supposed to be better dps than rogues and vice versa. Personally I think rogues should be best dps because that's all a rogue can be is dps, while a mage can be support and dps and a mix of the both but then again who cares what I say I'll just have all the butthurt people on my arse from either side anyways so whatever.

Re: Mage nerfed bc of pvp?!
#8I totally agree! I just posted this in another thread; but I could care less about out dpsing any other class. I want to survive as an ice Mage without dieing every mob I have to kill in order to level. While group leveling I was dealing 4-6k damage, but it was NOT every cast! The varying level of hits (which every Mage knows about) and the evades would make it one or two hits on a mob I was able to connect. If I had my energy levels all up to snuff and was successful in casting ice lure, then shards and if I hit the mob first- I would get the kill.
But more often than not, a rogue who would get to the mob first and start hitting it while I sat back and let skills and energy regen, would lock the mob and get the kill.
If I were to die, my dps was 2-4k for as long as it would take for ice attunement to regen (could be up to 3 minutes)
While mages could hit hard as hell

#9Continued...
While mages were able to hit hard as hell it was not consistent, but was just good enough to keep us alive to level alone.

#10No sorry this is factually incorrect, mages got a huge boost and then a relatively tiny correction as the burst damage was causing issues with game balance.Wth, mages build was changed just because you buttholes were getting killed in PVP, WHO GIVES A SHUT about PVP?!!!
