Instead of consider damage of skills divided on time so dms , then see fisic dms of a mage and u realise that dodge work well . Only if u are lucky u got critical on 2 skill but u have more prob to have on 4 fiscal attack landed in cool down ,so only 1 of 6 to pick lighting critical(and it only leave u with 60% healt ) .
Problem in mage defense is the stupid time factor that make annoing kill by "respawn and revenge", and runner tactics .
Also shield block a skill slot that can be used for attack skill.
Mana bar of mage don't go over 60 % so there is a big waste. New mechanic provide a more efficient use that makes more efficient mage defense.
new mechanic is based on int and u too can benefit of that bonus depending of your int level .
No comment ....

Just stop talking about the balance of the game if you don't know how the mechanics of the game work. Mages already have more defense than rogues in the form of their shield, so if you going to complain about survivability, don't do it from the perspective of mages when rogues still get 1 shot and don't have their own form of invulnerability.
Imo, I wouldn't say mages have more "defense" than rogues. Mages can get one shot with or without shield. I see rogues often barely surviving off a combo... on the other hand, one crit is all you need to kill a mage.

The mobility offered by the set makes positioning easier. Good tanks can pull it off... positioning is everything. I've been back for only a little while but it is obvious that your team's win condition is based on your dps vs opposing dps. A tank that can delay the opposing dps from accessing backline is one good tank, and the speed set helps. Of course, I don't play tank so this is just an honest assumption.
