Change my mind- mage ult meteor is inferior to energize

[Deuteronomy]

we can prove with numbers that meteor can’t do as much damage as a party who are able to spam all skills, so I wouldn’t call energize a support skill. It does more damage and the effects that your party have from their skills, such as armor reduce, stuns etc are piled on mobs. Meteor has no other effect other than damage.

So far the only arguments against seem to be;
1- speed of effect (1 sec for max 255k dam vs the total damage output of a pt taking 10 sec). I’m not sure where this is generally better.
Or 2: it drains mana. Uh ok, but if you’re a mage and run out of mana I see what the problem really is.

Also the sentence- I ran with a war and his damage was so good energize would have been useless is completely illogical.
If he had great damage, then it would have been better to do more damage faster, period.

When running a map where people know what they are doing, energize is not necessary. Bottom line.

Each class ultimate has offense, defense and support
Mage offense is meteor, defense is shield and support is energize
War offense is rage, defense is immortal and support is reflect
Rogue offense is aim shot, defense is (I forgot) and support is fuel.

All ultimate is good and every ultimate has its own role to fit your playstyle.

I can agree. If a player has a dumb setup/play style, what should they expect? Energhize is for nabs.

Deuts best input to counter all arguments has been
“dumb”
“I run out of mana”
“Not necessary”
And “for nabs”
While showing no math or actually countering all the valid points others make.

Bite the hook at your own risk folks

Lmao

Running a map where people know what they're doing, meteor is not necessary. Mobs are light work, meteor does miniscule dmg to bosses. Energize gives a buff to everyone, faster dmg = faster proc rate. I do not see your point at all saying energize is for nabs. I say that when people use meteor. But that's your opinion

total agree with energize. Personal play style and opinion on this.

This thread should be locked ..

Energize is a support skill whether you believe it or not. Energize helps the party out like you are saying but It doesn’t help a mage who’s already spamming 4 attack skills. Your mind isn’t gonna be changed just like you won’t be changing anyone else’s. Different play styles for different people.

For soloing tho meteor will always be better.

Honestly this whole topic reminds me of back in the day when some rogues were saying all mages should spec heal so they wouldn’t have to spam pots and could just spam attacks.

@ Wutz

If it does more damage and debuffs/effects then it is more offense than meteor.

I am spamming 4 attack skills also

I'm loving this poster right now.

It’s not guaranteed to do more damage. It might if you have a full party and if they can put out enough damage quick enough.

Meteor is guaranteed damage. That’s what I prefer. But to each their own.

I wish I could do double thanks. These nabs don't understand, they just post to post. You are %100 correct, bro.

I love it.

Come on Darwin's daddy, you can think better than that.

Be logical and use a calculator, or eat the calculator maybe it can trigger your dry and slow working braincells. Bottom line.

Let’s compare our 4 attack mages, I’ll assume u have fire light gust and clock.
Without energize those 4 skills in 10 sec (the rough time of energize)
Fire, recharge every 3 sec 5.2 minimum= 15.6
Light, recharge 3 sec 10.6 minimum =31.8
Gust, 5 sec 5.2 min= 5.2
Clock 10 sec =10.5
Minimum damage in 10,sec w/o ult 64k.
So let’s be super conservative and say u can only double damage output ALONE (its way more than my conservative estimate)
2x64k = 128k minimum
The minimum damage of meteor is 106k.

In this case of a 4 attack mage alone, energize is guaranteed to do more damage than meteor.
Not counting teammates, not counting all the debuffs and effects of all party members skills which also happen as oppposed to meteor having no additional effects.

You defend yourself with the “playstyle” thing, then go on to call everyone else “dumb because energize is for nabs”. I have news for you: you’re the nab.

I don’t use clock because it takes too long to recharge and I like being able to stun, knockdown and freeze mobs.

I use ice instead so I don’t really have to wait to fire off attacks. All 4 have very quick cool downs so no point in speeding it up. It’s just my play style like I said.

I'm not a nab. I quit your guild LONG ago. LOL.

But I will be professional here and say use whatever you all like. I will use meteor and others will use energize. Have a great day guys and get ready for WINTER EVENT, looks like it will be VERY cold in arlor.

Maybe time for North Face vanities, LOL!
