Celtic Heroes

A lot of my criticisms on here are countered with the "why don't you just level up?" mentality.

Ok. Some high level mages have spoken.

So if I lvl my character to 150. What is the difference? Not much. Fire off 2 ice shards and my energy is gone. And then I'm stuck using a wand that does 30 damage on auto attack. 30 damage, that's good enough for Lirs but not Otherworld or boss fighting!

Just Great!!!! Something to look forward to. Not!

Is there a reason why OTM doesn't want Mages to DPS with Rogues, Warriors, and Rangers??

Because as of now , Mage is a support class, deal with it .

I hope for you and all other high level mages things change and you put out sic damage , but as of now it is what it is.

LOL Again Eliminator.

If I hear "support" class one more time I'm gonna go postal !!!!!!

Then OTM should state that when choosing classes.

Here's the Mage description for all to see. I type fast so this won't be a problem.

"Mages are elite spellcasters, and though they may be even more fragile than Druids in Combat, they have an arsenal of powerful spells with which to destroy their enemies."

This should actually state.

"Mages are support spellcasters, and though they may be even more fragile than Druids in Combat, they have an arsenal of weak spells with which to destroy their enemies"

Ok! Comments. Ugggh :-) I should have made a bloody Rogue!!!!!! arrrrrggghhh.

Support? Is that a joke? The only reason mages are support is cause thats the only way to level. I have less than 25 sigils, and I know damn well i can barely solo a 2* (EVEN WITH THE NEW PATCH).

Make a mage, level it up to 120+ without a high number of sihils, and then give advice, cause what you'rte giving now is completely useless.

Lol, nots fast i didn't make mages a support class , that was otm . I think I've played enough to have an opinion on all classes and its just too bad if you don't want to hear it .

You have been nerfed, if you want to be successful in this game as a high level Mage , accept and embrace your role as a support class. It's not like there is anything wrong with being a support player , hell , I play support on my ranger and otm has not even pigeon holed me into that roll. I just think it's dumb that mages can't accept reality.

And the nonsense of go play Mage to high level without sigils , dude my Mage will be 140 in a week or 2 , you still won't value my opinion of Mage because its not gonna be exactly like yours . Lol

It's not like there is anything wrong with being a support player

Game story. We were boss killing one day and we had a druid with us. It happened I was the only high level at the time in the group. Druid kept healing me, keeping me in the fight and allowing me to do major damage and help kill the boss. So I was happy with just the xp and gave the druid the drop. Because without that druid, I would have been dead.

Yes if you like playing a support character, there's nothing wrong with that. It's not my cup of tea thou.

As I said, then OTM should clearly state that when your choosing characters. The description of the mage is misleading in the worst possible way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with Not on this point. You cannot high level a mage without sigils. Unless you have grouping help and/or access to the best equipment this game has to offer. Eliminate if you can level to 140 in two weeks, please post the complete specs of your mage. And again please be honest about it. If you have Radiant say so.

This is my build and equipment. I can take on 3 star rock creatures starting from the tower leystone in OW, only caveat is I have to time it and cast two eshields. Hope this will help other mages.

I only play mage a little but this is the advice I would offer:

Make all mage spells non dodgeable by mobs
FIX regen please, noone will want to train a mage if they need a million sigils, or maybe just reduce spell cost?

Over time in a battle (taking into account lures, direct attacks, and cloak) I feel a mage adds more DPS than any character in the game. In short fights this does not seem to be the case, so a nuke with a very long cooldown may solve.

Hmmm what we got here , mages weak ....
Sure mages can be best dps over all classes but being something agains the game engines gets very pricey ....
So mages use to punch a hole before new scavenger items ... Warriors ,rangers , rouges got huge bonuses ... Mages and druids didnt why? So in update 3 eliments codeine was changed to totally damage not any damage ,skill caster got left out cuz the coding dont work with skills.... Now all non skills getting awesome rings like eliments damage help alot and lowers there energy useage cuz was switched with plus skill rings ... Why druids dont get mad about best dps ... They not ment to be dps tho with sigils and alot top gear you can be very good druid dps but very pricey trying to be something agains game code will cost alot .I play high lvl alts all exept ranger i know what's it like being high lvl mage ...my rouge 11 lvls lower out dpses my mage any day .... Not to mention 0 sigils how much $ i used on rouge not much like 10$ how much on mage way too much -.-
So what OTM does about this .... All got into ow playing all fine then rings were obtained adds skills damage made mages deal so good damage then alot ppl crying on forums mages got tweaked .Then scavenger came out all classes got good things but for mages and druids the eliments damage doesn't work on skills so we got screwd then mages started to trip now a boost for mages this patch .this boosting /nerfing wont stop for us mages .Sure alot classes get tuned up but mages can't find there spot . there are many mages that i know got to lvl 120+ and seen to pricey to move on drop the mage became mele class .FIX THE GAME AND MAKE ALL ELIMENTS DAMAGE BENIFIT ALL CLASSES!!! Not gonna happen ,so a suggestion to all low mages go support and count on others or drop that class start different one and side note anyone can be a mage but bring a good mage will cost u 200x more then other classes

To OTM , change the game coding and all problems will be fine yea u know its will mean Celtic Heroes 2
Not gonna happen to all mages go suppert or stop being a mage -.-

ice skills cost 60 points and it kills a mage seeing that shot didnt hit happens alot not ones 4x in row on a mob 11 lvl lower!

All you noob mages stop whining, I'm sure enough of you bitched about rogues *** after update!

Mages are badass and even though Notsoslow is a noob, he is an insane support Mage.. As a rogue with radiant earthstone ammy instead of Heroic Rejuv, a Firefang ring instead of my energy regen ring and a golden ice blade instead of a poison dagger. I have 20 Energy regen in my bracelets, my assasinate costs over 195 energy alone, and my sneaky/quickstrike/rend are all maxed.. I never run out of energy for more than 5 seconds and I hit over 700 autos.......

Someone please tell me how that is the definition of 'sucking'??

IMHO, mages are great, they just have a different role now. Mages are support and like it or not, you will have to deal with it until OTM make it possible to be otherwise. (By the way, this 'Support' consists of having the best dps by a mile (indirect), on top of being able to keep Druids with no sigils from running out of energy in big boss fights)... Pretty good support if you ask me.

Also while we're on the subject.. Admin since mages have been made Energy Druids.. Please show energy bars in groups.. Make it half and half like the bar is at the top of your own screen, or make the energy line just underneath the group heal line.
