I am a lvl 185 Mage and I can't solo any 4s place holder even while spamming restors and using freeze so my endless sigils kick in. They melee me for 700-1100 dmg a swing, and swing faster then a MLB baseball player on steroids.
I use anciet store bp and legs for the added focus, and anciet quest boots and gloves for the skill bonus.
Dragon lord armor for mages is a complete joke a the skills they add too r complete crap. And the fire and ice ability tey give still don't compete with the added focus from the ancient store armor. I have all the aggy gear needed. My dmg skills are all at 50s. And my armor isn't even 200.
Mage armor is a laugh.
And arena where I love to spend my time killing all my enemies is a pain in the arse now as lvl 140 characters kill me with 1k melees.
Rouges have 3 skills that need to be fixed with a casting timer, especially. It is un realistic for a rogue to spam 3 instant cast skills on u in arena, especially with a death penalty that makes ur hp from 4k to Max 1700. A mage can't even cast a skill vs a rogue in arena with 3 I stand cast skills and severely lowered hp due to a death or penalty. And don't even get me started on these heroic haste elixers... With a 1k dmg melee

I agree with arena thing too people find it hilarious to one shot my mage in arena now and do it for hours on end not so funny when your the mage on the receiving end i dont have top end gear but its pretty good and gives 174 armour and 1200 hp i cant even cast a single spell most times i get one shotted with sharp shot or shield bashed not to mention the rogues who dont even use all 3 skills
Yes it really is rofl time for mages because thats all we can do

Mage is definitely a crappy solo class , I guess that's the price of absolutely insane damage.

I solo just fine. For placeholders you need to use a shield of the bastion and have energy shield. Also use some tactics like moving in between casts to buy yourself a second or two of the mob having to come back to you before swinging again. Is it as easy as a ranger? No, but it's definitely possible with some investment on your part. With that said, armor should be addressed in some way for mages in the future.

2k+ sigils is the price of that insane damage.

Lies
I'm not saying mages don't need the sigils but they are not required , certainly not that many in order to do insane damage .

Dont need sigils for high damage just invest in energy boosting skills and ur good ( i got like 60/60 sigs from chests but doing fine with lv25 boost ).
The point of this thread is to buff our armor right? Well, i know ppl see us mages do insane damage i agree, but it isnt right it a lv180+ mage cant solo spider ph while a lv160 rogue with shop armor does it with his hands tied on his back...

Idoling in arena is lame
