Choose a Mage!

someone missed their nap this morning...

Good one!

Its mage for me now

I'm not gonna get involved in the raging (this time ) but after reading your recent posts I have noticed that you consistently call out the rogues for being ignorant and not knowing what it is like to be a mage. The same concept works in reverse, melee classes have their fair share of problems as well. Just be aware that its not all fun and games running around as a rogue either.

We understand but just look at our armor sometime and let that sink in. Then see if we have corresponsingly higher dps based on our lower armor.

Let that sink in a bit. And if its bad for you, just imagine how bad it is for us.

I've looked at your armour and I'm sure you have noticed I enjoy evaluating the game and strive to know alot about game mechanics. The armour trade-off doesnt necessarily have to be from survivability to dps. There are other benefits mages enjoy. A big one for me is having options.

Rogues pretty much just do dps. Mages have many options and many usable skills to choose from (I understand that this can sometimes be a double edged sword). Mages also have energy shield and freeze that allow for more hp and a quick heal. Once a rogue engages in a fight we have two options: Kill or be killed. I compare you directly to rogues because I am most familiar with rogues but I strongly believe that I could compare mage to every other class and find that they are not underpowered. I encourage you to get another class past 120 or so before making such a strong offensive move to buff mages.

Not to mention we have to be in close range taking AOEs to the face

Me personally I don't find the mage underpowered per se.

For me its combat energy regeneration first. Gear second.

When your melee wand hits for 30 at lvl 132. That's pathetic.

Well how much str do you have in your build? you can't expect good auto attacks with 5 strength. Also, what is your wand ability?

Additionally, hand to hand is a good option for mages because when you get agg drops the books use hand to hand ability. Put a trident or some other form of damage in your offhand and you will notice a significant difference in your auto attk ability.

lol no I'm very serious. I understand the reasons why some mages dont do this but in alot of your posts you state that auto attack is so great. I'm just reminding you that you also have an auto attack button, you just choose not to use it. losing 50 focus for strength wont hurt you that bad and can make a significant difference in your damage and the trident gives a flat damage as well as some strength bonus and has regen.

admittedly, I do not have a high lvl mage and cannot say that I have personally tried this but a basic understanding of the game leads me to believe that this would help to ease your pain. (youre going to need to lvl your hand to hand ability before you bash this)
