Why play a class where skills cost more than other classes for same damage?
Why play a class where auto attacks r lowest in game?
Why play a class with lowest armour of other classes?
Why play a mage?
Why am I a stupid fool?

1. If you are an ice mage, I for one haven't seen anyone else hitting 6k+ in one hit. It might not be good energy cost, but if it was mages would be he most op class in game. Even my noob lvl 87 mage hits 1k+ with his firestorm and fire bolt.

2. The auto attack are lowest because of above answer, if you had high auto along with super high skills, then you would definitely be the most op class.

3. This is semi-related to the 1st question as well, higher armor would make mages op. Plus, read any book or watch a movie with a mage or sorcerer or wizard in it, they always wear robes of some sort, not any type of armor.

4. Why play a mage? I can't quite answer this due to my little experience with them, and I know nothing about problems over 100 or so. But from my experience, mages are lots of fun if you have a druid.

5. You arent a stupid fool just because you play a mage, I know a bunch of people who play mages...they are not stupid fools. They love their class and play it well.

I don't think Smelly was asking these questions in a legitimate manner. He was mocking someone's signature.

But I kind of agree, mages are really not a bad class.

I was mocking that someone who constantly complained about being a mage and yet still playing it. In fact, he asked people to boycott otm at one time because he was upset about mage being nerfed and got a temporary ban from this forum for that.

So why be a stupid fool and play a class that he hated so much to the extent of asking others to boycott otm?

2. The auto attack are lowest because of above answer, if you had high auto along with super high skills, then you would definitely be the most op class.

And this sums up perfectly why rogues are the most OP class.

Stop causing trouble to people on forums. if you got something to say to the person take it to private message or ingame. we dont need this kind of stuff on forums.

@Guthix - i have hit as high as 6300 with storm and up to 5600 with bolt.

2. The auto attack are lowest because of above answer, if you had high auto along with super high skills, then you would definitely be the most op class.

Rogues are so very very far from being overpowered.

Has anyone stopped to think that our class balance comes from the fact that every class has their own weak spots? In groups those weak spots are filled by the abilities of other classes, therefore balance.

And this is why most of your other points regarding mages are incorrect.

People misjudge mages by measuring them instantaneously. A mage can be lucky at one point with high hits that tear a mob apart or extremely unlucky where everything is evaded and then they are torn apart by the mob. The majority of mage life is somewhere in-between, just enough evades and low hits to make playing a mage miserable.

If you look at what a mage can actually do when considering the poor armour, fluctuating damage, and lack of skill diversity; there is not much that actually makes the mage class worth the large amount of platinum that many end up buying.

Lol, I would not say OP for certain. Rogues seem to fair well compared to the game and most other classes so they are balanced. The next step should be to balance other classes with the game and place emphasis on class roles.

The reason why rogues are overpowered compared to mages is that rogues have both high skill hits and fast and high autos. mages have no autos up until the dragonlord weapon. rogues can hit faster and spam skills to get the kills on bosses. if you check highest skill hits you will find the first 2-3 pages to be rogues. and to top it off , a mage needs ice blast, ice attune, lure, all maxed to be able to get anywhere close to what a top hitting rogue hits with skills. that rogue only puts points into 1 skill as opposed to 3 of a mage. in addition, most rogue skills deal poison damage which is unresistable. the chance to hit for a rogue is also increased by their weapons for autos, whereas a mage the only way to increase hit chance for skills is ice/fire magic.

some other reasons why rogues are OP compared to mages is the armor advantage, speed, and damage giving dragonlord armor.


i simply believe that each class should have a strength over the others. mages should be as they were and have the highest skill hits. the damage of fire bolt, ice shards, blast, firestorm, should all be increased. rogues should not have higher autos and the highest skill hits.
