Just trying to see the importance of mages, thanks for the feedback.

Well some bosses would quite literally be impossible without lures.

Can't speak from experience, as I've played and lvld every class but a mage like DeafeningSilence said lures are very important. There's one clan in particular on Morrigan who kill bosses just by sheer force. They have 1-2 mages that are somewhat active and attend a raid. No lures and you can guarantee that the kill will be prolonged and turn very messy.

Every class has its perks, some seeming better then the other. Stick with the class you have the most fun with and nothing else should matter.

Ye i thought about lure monkeys in bosses and i didn't realise that they were that important.
Thanks for telling me!

While there is pleny to complain about about being a mage, I actually really enjoy the class. Basically, the way I see it, there are three purposes to a mage: 1) distance dps 2) debuffs/lures and 3) energy creation. I don't think any class is essential (except for combatting end game bosses of course), but each adds something helpful. To me, mages are to offense what druids are to defense. As a mage, in a level group with a ranger or rogue, they LOVE my assassin lure. It increases their kill rates considerably. Additionally, the supplemental nuke dps that I drop on a mob also increases the kill rates. And that high level distance dps helps a lot on bosses as well, as someone said above.

When druids are working overtime and their lux can't keep up, I keep them going with a boost and quickly they are back to healing like a machine. Other folks do that same thing with sacrifice for instant energy.

No class is essential. Even a druid can be substituted with a ranger and a high light heal. But druids are far more efficient at healing and help reduce damage with wards, making defense a lot less messy. Mages are similar. While other classes can lay out the offense, mages make a groups offensive power more efficient and offense a lot less messy.

All classes are essential IMO

Yes, I'm sure every group you are in for every action you engage in, whether it be grinding, small bossing, or anything else, has one of every class.

I think you missed my point.

So your point is substitution? As much as I like to see my mains light heal competing with just about every low-mid level druid, it doesn't replace the fact that a druid is a far better healer all round. And just because ive seen a druid with lures doesn't mean the mage class is replaceable either (I can pull any number of examples where one class is better for its job than another any day, but everyone tries to be as self sufficient as possible). Every class has its own special place where it is wanted and needed.

threads like that show the support of unbalancing classes, ppl who say 'mage is the best' 'warrior is op' 'rogue is so pro' and etc.
if the topics about classes would be normal and reasonable and not crying about OP or best class or something since the start of this game, maybe it could be more balanced


None of them wins, every class has serious downsides, but every class has something that other classes dont

'Nuff said.

I completely agree with criminal. The game would be so unbalanced without all the classes. It's like a puzzle, every class is a piece of an equal size and importance.
