My biggest problem is the E shield nerf, reducing the amount of damage it blocks by 25%. It now gives less damage blocked than it drains in energy, making it almost worthless. the entire point of e shield is that it gives more hp than it drains in energy, otherwise mages would simply invest in hp, no? If you reduce the effectivness of e shield, it would only make sense to reduce the energy cost by an equal percentage. As it stands right now, I can't even train on my mage due to my e shield being useless, and everything doing less damage.

And the cooldown rate. I sit around waiting for my now crappy eshield to go through the cooldown cycle after a 1 star mob. If you're going to make the skill crap, you should at least make it less expensive and more usable crap.

I have played my mage for the last couple of days to see how it is now.
I think they probably could have cut ice blast 30% and it would still be pretty powerful but very useful. With the 45% cut it hits lower then shards with a ridiculous cool down.

I really don't know why they felt the need to change all of the other spells. Combined they basically cut our dps in half with one patch.
I think OTM should consider the balance a little and reduce the amount of the cut buy half of what they originally did.

Instead of complaining because u can't train find a new build and work with it. You got nerfed big deal all of this complaining all because your on our lvl now. Ya your supposed to have great damage but they are supposed to cost you a unfathomable ton of energy because you have the skills to replenish that energy!

I'm a druid between all my support skills that I do have to constantly cast without energy regeneration skills and the sigil nerf I'm the *** useless one. We drop energy fast than you and have no means of getting it back other than have a mage around standing still for a while or using a pot. A mage has to have HP now to kill something well welcome to club

The point wasn't that mages need hp now, the point was that e shield had become useless, consuming more energy than it gave in hp. I'm not saying that it's terrible that mages have to have hp, the point is that the made a key skill literally worthless, and they proved my point by reducing the energy required for it in the latest patch. Try to comprehend the argument before taking a contrary view simply because you think druids have it worse. (side note: the solution to mages being more powerful than other classes is to bring the rest of the classes back up, not drag the only truly functional class down, but I digress)

Mages are missing one thing: Auto-attacks. And we don't have haste elixers that make us cast super-fast either. I understand u people seem to miss a lot, but guess what, the reality is mages do too.

Wtf ya talkin about ? First you have plat items you can use , energy pots , restos , super energy lix energizer lix , super combo . Second , you have hth and 700 damage from lux your auto is as good as any other class whn lure is considered. 3rd dude I have a 150 Mage I don't need a lesson on skills missing some of "us people" know wtf we are talkin about

Are you denying Mage is best dps ? Best burst damage? Best aoe attacks ? Best offensive support ? Best energy support ?

Basically I asked what rogue or ranger is best at and you said they have good weapons , well so what ? The dps with those great weapons still does not stack up against Mage .

You don't seem to understand , I'm getting beat by mages in xp and bosses even if I am on haste or combo , lol it's a joke at this point man please spare me any typeof explanation how Mage isn't pwning this game , even with the nerf.

Why are you the only player saying mages deserve the big nerft ?

I mean they pacth it 20% increase that is really 10% to original damage. So skill got nerfted 35% total , they increase it the damage variation , miss rate , on the nuke skill they finnaly got. So for mage the was using the skill i see a total 60% real reduction .

Damage is fine - Defense on bosses needs to be reduced for melee to be competitive and mages could use some minor defensive compensation for the burst lost in the nerfs for leveling/survival purposes.

Elim is right though. At the moment I haven't lost a single boss kill. I'm well geared but so is our top rogue and she doesn't stand a chance due to miss rate.
