Re: Take it from a retired mage...

#11 by Croquette
Don't play one.

I fought and pleaded and worked my butt off on my mage. I've invested hundreds of dollars and thousands of hours into him. I'm around lvl 140. I really like mages in other games and really wanted to play one. Well I finally gave up.

They just suck in this game. Now I'm playing every other class and they are way better.

So don't waste your time and money, skip the mage in this game.

would you please stop complaining? if you had the good build/stuff and above all some wit, you wouldn't be yelling here that your mage is dead etc etc
and seriously if you invested hundreds of dollars on your char, excepted a little* less damage than in update 3, you shouldn't have ANY problem.

ok, they nerfed mages*. but mages aren't dead for all that. how do you think people get to 180?

it's true that I don't like what they did to energy shield and instant cast fire bolt, but like I just said... not a very big prob

niz: soloing at lvl 100 works fine for me, no problem excepted if I get attacked by more than one mob. it's slow but good.


* : just a little. really...
Newton, mage - lvl 131+
DRUIDDS - lvl 117
And many more..

Crom, SoulsIgnited!
NOT PLAYING UNTIL OTM FIXES THIS GAME GONE CRAP
PLEASE REACT

Mage is actually great as it is now,getting kills on 5/6 star mobs most of the time but when i level ( or try to ) the ranger always gets the kill. And another thing is its jusy impossible to solo efficiently without sigils ( tried all kind of setups, at the end shield broke down to quick and died..).
Another con of mage is i do 1/4th of damage given in skill page in pvp..
Dueled a warrior today,his auto hits twice what i do with a 40 bolt and 32 fird lure..
Imo mage is great for small groups,but suck on almost everything else.

Mages are fine damage wise, the argument I am making is for an increase in armour, resist, or something so that attempting to kill a mob or add doesn't kill me.

Most of the higher level mages (180 ish) have used insane plat in order to be effective in killing and soloing. In fact, I think I may be one of the last mages to use as minimal plat as possible. I'm still "running" with 30 sigils of health and 300 sigils of energy.

Also keep in mind, getting the kill on bosses is not really an achievement for Mages/Druids anymore. The crazy high defence on bosses prevents the melee from actually making an impact.

Do you mean melee classes spamming skills? That is to be expected considering that for a mage, all damage comes from skills versus a ranger, for example, whose damage is split between melee and skills.

A combination should be able to be at par with casters, however, bosses need a tweak so that melee isn't entirely: miss miss dodge block etc. Not sure if that's what you meant though.

Beg to differ, the warriors on my world are getting kills over rangers rogues and druids with their skill spamming tactics.

Does this mean warriors are OP? Ofc not, just overall skills betters than rangers rogues and druids. This is the same for druids winning rangers and rogues. Its a no brainier rangers and rogues been dominating most updates boss kills majority due to their fast melee attacks. Now that mobs defenses are insanely high, rangers and rogues are suffering from it. Does this mean mobs defenses needs a fix? Ofc Yes. Does this mean druids are OP? Ofc not.

Who said anything about op ? That's the problem most forum readers as well as otm has , they see a comment about a class being strong and the first thing they think is nerf.

War vs full on dps Druid at boss , Druid wins unless war is way over level , that's my experience anyways. And either way the Mage destroys them all , it's not even close.

A single caster Mage cuts new boss fights in half .

Obviously not against you but also from experienced, Im beginning to see more posts about rangers/rogues losing out to druids without mentioning the actual reason, which resulted in other posts commenting on druids = op.
Information is not distributed accordingly and ppl tend to make their own assumptions.
