No idea if this has been posted im sure it has.. im lvl 28 and use 6 or so spells to kill a monseter my level .. befor I would just have to mainly use 3-4 Seems it gets worse and worse... I use ranks 1 of ice and lightning since the dmg barly increaes with the mana cost insane.. Seems like magic missle and fireball are the only ones that scale with level properly. why is there no + dmg on ice and hardly any on lightning .. yea ice slows but by what 5% its not really noticable . Is this being fixed does it get better .. Just seems to get worse and worse as I level gota grind with a cleric to be afficiant really.
Edt just did some tests .
30 dmg difrence in dmg from rank1 to rank 4 frost. about 50 or 60 from lightning,,
thats broken... people using rank 1 are jsut hiding the fact that the mage class isnt broken stop making excuses and make sure the creaters no theres a problim with the class. We use lower ranks becuse the higher ranks get minor dmg increas and HIGH mana cost ..frost bolt and lightning bolts need a hugher dmg increas per lvl and frost bolt needs a dmg increas peroid it has non on it right now..
Oh and dont people saying grouping with a cleric your really good.. well anyone grped with a cerlic is good .. a cerlic solo is good lol.. class is Oped right now dont be fooled. this is solo status not grped.
I think some of the issues here are having to do with the way your spell system works. You have basicl char Mdmg and spell skill dmg . then you have Magic Defens . Its to much to calculate and you will have alot of balence issueus . Mages are using rank 1 becuse most Magic dmg is from your base char magic dmg. there for as you progress in level if your base char magic dmg does not go up with mob hit points your class slowly gets worse and worse and is forced to grp . this should not be in any MMO unless you want the game to be grp oriented.
This is just what I think and what I have discovered playing my mage is level 28
