Mage

[Mymysticalmage]

Cinco, i have a question. How come mage is trash? You make sets class bound yet you dont fix the charecter imbalance. Brilliant idea. Your nerf mage into the ground yet it seem you refuse to fix it. How to fix this. Mana definitely needs to be added. Mana shield is the most useless skill since the class was nerfed into the ground at the end of 80 cap. Heals also need to be buffed. With the recent l100 update a level 100 rhino has better heal then a mage. Yet it can tank like a bear. It makes 0 sense why a rhino that uses str can heal better than a mage. Armor a slight increase in armor would also be nice. Along with "a healthy dose of mana". Pvp wise mage is by far the weakest. Refering above rhinos heal better than mages yet can tank like a bear and nuke like a fox. No skill is required to kill a mage at this point. Bird can break mana shield usually on the first blast. Which is fine but mage has so little armor that if bird breaks mana shield mage will die in 2 to 3 skills. Hence the reason more armor would help. Mana is needed because when mana shield is used is usually only last a few hits. Compared to 80 cap when it would take atleast 4 to 5 hits. It truely sadens me to see nothing being done to help. or do you guys simply not care any more?

Adapt. Change your style. I've done ok with my mage, and you're better than I am...so you can definitely do it...

1. Mages are a support character that are not meant to be huge damage dealers or tanks.
2. Even though they are support, drain deals the most damage of any skill, and fire I believe is second or third.
3. With this said mages can still beat any class 1v1, the only one they have trouble against is bird and sometimes rhino. And if ms is timed correctly a mage will kill a bird 9/10 times.

So, it seems that you need to change your playstyle, if you try to nuke a bird you will die, which is why you will need to kite.

Hey buddy! Sorry to hear about your current struggles with this new cap that our folks at STS worked hard on! Yeah you do make some good points about rhinos being a bit OP, but theyre only OP in 1v1s. To be honest mages arent the weakest this cap, foxes really have it worse than us mages, and birds arent really a problem, if you play it right, i personally think this cap is harder, but you gotta understand that 80, 85, mages were pretty OP, maybe you got used to that, i dont know.. Anyways, i think this cap is pretty balanced for the most part, if you're struggling i'd be happy to teach you mage!

I'll admit the heal on mages is a bit low (maybe just double our heal, It wouldn't cause us to be OP. It would simply make us more effective healers). And I do feel that my mana gets drained instantaneously, but mana shield is still not useless. A little more mana would be nice though!

At the end of the day, I don't believe mages are underpowered. I think we were used to being OP all these past caps, and for once we're not in that position. And I've enjoyed PvP for the most part as a mage. Granted, there will be times when I get the worst streaks of bad luck against bears simply because if they dodge and then hit you, there is literally nothing you can do. But that's more of a dodge issue...

Yea remaking maps/mobs. And taking maps/mobs from other maps is real hard. Ive done it a time or two.

Exactly! I love a new challenge with us mages finally, pvp was getting a bit boring. After a while i managed this cap and its not all that hard anymore.

Appeciate the feed back yo. However, bears can nuke mage but mage cant nuke bears. Goes for some other classes as well. How this logical?

You probably should...

Why would anything ever be able to nuke bear....

Because mages are support healers, and bears are meant to tank.

[Dolloway]

You say mages are underpowered yet a team consisting of a mage will probably win Ghost's tournament.

Bears are tough one vs one. But that's the issue with our concept of balanced PvP in PL. Sometimes classes aren't as well equipped for 1v1s. Our class has always been meant to support. And while I think our heal is relatively low at the moment, we're still an incredible support class – our quick heal cool down allows us to to free our teammates from any stuns, freezes, or roots. We can revive and debuff. And we can nuke at the right times.

You have to look at it as bears have mostly single target skills like birds. They also arent ranged. So when they hit you it has to hit hard.

I get mages are supposed to be used for support. However, when rhinos have better armor and better heals its defeats the purpose.
