Why be a Mage?

Pro’s:
• Mad heal skills and heroic Revs
• Players are thankful of heals and Revs making you a valuable team player
• Mana or m/s regen keeps you going as long as you have mana to use your skills there is hope for you in combat
• Medium damage dealing weapons; not as high as Dex and not as low as Str
• Great team buffs and debuffs
• Area of effect powers are plenty: Lightning, Fire, ice storm, weakness, nightmare, revive, heal, BOV,& BOM
• Only chick toon for PL, well that part probably sucks for some of the male mages
• The choice between single target combo or area of effect combo (Ice+Fire)
• Can dual Spec/ hybrid effectively, where as other classes my not benefit from adding Int into their specs
• NUKE! My verdict
Con’s:
• Low defensive stats: Dodge, Armor, health points, etc.
• Low health points, lots of Pots used in PVE
• Many skills have a slight delay
• Some players like to get snippy about heals and Revs
• Can’t use Blessings until level 22, making shark bait of low lvl mage twinks, lol
• The temptation to send Plat on revs if you die:P (ouch my wallet, lol)
• Needs to practice more defensive tactics than other classes; IMO learning to kite more often was/is difficult for me


I'm sure there's more to add, I'll think about it later;O)
