mages shouldnt have to respec to dex or str.

[cyprux]

Feeling underpowered in PvP and dominated by other classes? Well, mages are looking so insignificant now since they die to fast. maybe they could revive or heal but they die to easily and couldn't even kill a yellow alien alone. devs should improve mages because soon no one will use it and revive or heal anymore because they're so underpowered. because i am mage i really feel for other mages as well. i like pvping before but now i hardly stand a chance to win against archers and warriors. my chances are winning are pretty low unless my opponent sucks or theyre afk or something. they should make mages feel more useful so u can see more mages in town rather than just archers. And cosmos are not even worth buying and wearing anymore. i rather have void rather than
cosmo so what is the point of creating cosmos if hardly anyone would buy it? Void is generally better than cosmo in my opinion except the mana and thats pretty much it.

Well this is my first time to post a thread and like the only reason i registered is because of this problem. hopefully mages would support me.

its slushie here cyprux btw
and yes, i agree, armor needs to go up among other things

[cyprux]

Hi SLUSHIE!

[Jsaieagle]

is dexmage really better?

should dexmage use 2H weapon or 1H with wing?

[cyprux]

its better to wear 1h wing cuz ull have a Higher armor.and better mana regen.

[cyprux]

i think we should ask dev about this issue...

[TheLaw]

agreed, mages should remain PURE and have their Defense increased by a bit. But i think Devs implemented that much mana so you could spam on Healing.

... just want to see my signature

I have a tip- try being a pure INT Mage until ~35, then add pure STR to lv50. This should boost attack and defence, and give enough INT to power ALL Mage items to lv50.

[DJ2500X]

Thelaw! You stole my rename! I was going to be Darquesse!

[jonboy]

But we do respec, cause it is good.

[Arterra]

i am officially leaving my main char and mage, Arterra, for a while to train up my str bird Sangaroh. It has come to THAT...

[Lesrider]

That's what I did -- I use my Mage mainly for clearing non-ao3 mobs now.

[Lapinsalaingr]

That feels sad, doesn't it ?

In a group I'd say mages are quite powerful, but then they should be able to play as pure INT. And it is never the case, except if they stand so far away from the group that they can't do much. Being pure INT means you'll be dying in one shot inevitably.
That said, even being a paladin makes you one-shot proof , but not two.

I reckon we should get some support there and rebalance the chars. As for me, I'm always tempted into mages whatever the game, but I feel slowly frustrated now, as I can't even solo a boss in ao3 with a lvl 47.

Hey by the way - do you think Gandalf would have an aura of protection that lets 70% of the damage go through ??

I'm frustrated about the squishiness of my Mage, but this part I don't agree with. I don't think any lvl 47 char should be able to solo ao3 bosses. Then what would we need teams for?

[Riccits]

me eighter.... :)

[Lapinsalaingr]

sorry, meant aoe2.
In aoe3 it should read :
"live more than one second while standing less than a mile from a boss"
