Mages are no easy class, thats for sure! But I can see mages as a really good end-game class. Totaly powerful, no doubt.

Too bad the end game keeps getting moved farther out of my reach lol (with the level increases)

But even then we cannot out dps the other classes, and thats why I picked a mage; supposed to be a king of dps.
Ummm, the lures create outstanding (indirect) dps. Cloak of fire also works like that. I know what you mean though.
Thanks, and I do get your point too. Vrael if you haven't seen blaze's topic on indirect dps check it out.

And mabye thats why we can't out dps melee classes in boss fights, because we can't use our cloak (mob isn't hitting us).


Off topic: wait so vrael you can out dps warriors and rangers with thier new lux? I can't lol.

Why play a class where skills cost more than other classes for same damage?
Why play a class with no auto attack?
Why play a class with 1/3 the armor?
Why play a caster?

Ikr!! Even if Mages are not the king of dps we should still have the same dps as a rogue at our level. It's embarrassing to see a rogue 10 levels below me gain aggro and get the kill:(

Heheh ya thats why I said "a king" and not the king. Ya I really only think it is a matter of better items that can get us there. Like a faster cast rate item.

Well I can out dps most people in every class around my level except rogue :evil:. Keep in mind I maxed my lure of fire, lure of ice, fire bolt, and ice shards. Plus I have ice shards rings ;) 4k of energy goes a long way too lol.

I still sometimes miss the good old days before the update where I prob was THE king of dps and there was no evade so my massive damage made it to the enemy all the time :D

OMG are you kidding me? Mages can be beast. and our indirect dps is awesome.
We may not get credit for it, but groups recognize it.

Admittedly, I am specialized. I'm full group dps. I do not use energy shield at all. I keep enough hp to take a few boss hits and to be able to tank PHs, but thats it.

I got the Enoch Blackstone kill two nights ago over warriors and rogues. :twisted:

My one big gripe is that even with heroic ammy, invigoration bracelet, energy crown, and rejuv offhand, I still run out of energy. But I think I just need to tweak my stats/skills and try the offhand orb.

Yea, when it comes to Lures, my clan tries to have the different Mages try to max different Lures. I'm more of the Slash and Pierce Lure boy. I don't have either maxed though, as I seem to be grouping with the same number of Warriors as Ranger/Rogues.

I also still run outta Energy from time to time, and it frustrates me. Well, I confess I don't play with Meditate, Boost, or Well. I'm Lux and Sigil driven. Sometimes I pot to get some back too. If the Frozen Armor would have an Focus bonus larger than the Diamond gear, then that may solve some things. Maybe Focus would translate into Energy bonus. I'm wearing some super dooper Lux gear and running out of places to hang gear on. I need a Platinum Toe Ring of Energy Rejuv. Lol.

LOL Tog. I have the lux/sigil thing going on too. Gimme one of those toe rings!

And it is especially fun to get the kill standing there in my fairy suit. Love the lil winged fairy chick kicking more butt than the beefy warriors.
Bwahahahaha
Sounds Hawttttttttt !!!

Crazy! Yes I can definatley see if I drop my 31 points in eshield I could be a king of DPS too ;), there are just too many drawbacks at this point since I'm the hoghest level in my clan so I need to tank and I still solo level.

What kind of vitality ou talking, 150? How much dex do you have?

Waia sec you are talking dps on monsters right? I figure that 10 in fire lure and 7 in ice lure is best for pvm so you can get more points in the actual damage skills. I tested it for max dps and I should be right...

So what do your skills look like with all rings on?
