Lol, true. But with a decked out bird (void, dex, blaster) and him spamming all his skills, I usually never get aggro with my mage even if I spam skills too. Now its quite the opposite, we're both spamming but boss comes to me instead. =/

I find that if you take off auto attack and almost only use skills you can escape some aggro.

I'll try that. I do find the AoE of mages are specially why we get aggro too. With how taunt doesn't really work.

Mages are now also very cost-effective. Before the patches, my bear would down health pots like crazy (even though some claimed bears were invincible lol). But now that I can play my Mage again, I used like maybe 5-10 health/mana pots over 8 full runs of victory lap. So other than tank Elixers for Ol, all loot is pure profit.

So I doubt our reign will last too long -- they'll probably let us have a bit of fun and then nerf mages too.

I'm pretty sure a nerf is coming for mages too. What do you reckon they're going to do though? Increase cooldown of skills or reduce damage of skills?

I doubt a nerf is coming for mages. We have quicker cool down times and more powerful moves, but all of the moves that are more powerful draw a lot of aggro. Without armor/ health you are screwed.
I think it is pretty balanced.

As far as being cost effective... it only became cost effective after the update. Before then it was a bit expensive for me.

Yeah, I was referring to post-update.

I'm not sure if they Nerfed the mages now or just made the mobs a bit harder, but Snipers actually sting a bit now, whereas yesterday I could attack all three mini bosses at once and be fine. So mages are no longer gods, but still a he'll of a lot better than they were before the update.
