I don't know about others, but there are several flaws with mages.
1) Magic Clear, a lvl 26 skill, does nothing at the current level. Iono about the future, but it doesn't remove poison, etc etc. Kind of a sad lull between skills T_T.
2) You have two main attack skills and a support skill: the two attack skills are nearly the same, and the support skill is weak but freezes. Chances are you'll be using lightning + ice for a LOONNGGGG time xD (until your next main attack skill, fire). Which leads to...
3) The first fire skill is at level 46...which is 10 levels from its most distant skill back, Poison (lvl 36). The upgrades are also kind of useless. Ice upgrade is at lvl 36, but costs 3 mp more and hardly does anything (the increase in freeze time is practically nothing and the damage is unnessesary). Considering the fact that you have to start grinding at lvl 34-35....well, you're in for a toughie xD.
4) Bleh, you'd think for an int class we'd get more mp. Do we? No! Instead, we're stuck with less mp than hp....which is stupid. Plus, we're as weak as heck. Can't carry 200 mp pots without dying (practically). Fills up precious weight space.
HOWEVER, if you disregard everything I just said, here's some cool things to consider:
1) AOE! We all love showing off the little newbies by blowing up 5 squishies and hearing them say "WOW!". xD It's a part of human nature......well, the mages can do that. They don't need to buff other people for a thank you, pure power is enough xD.
2) Magic Shield is awesome, especially for a lvl 1 skill. It comes at a nessecary time to - just before the grindfest starts >_>. Magic Shield laughs off poison, disregards how much hp you have - but watch out, it can be cancelled in 3 minutes, 7 hits absorbed, or running out of mp. Still, for a lvl 1 skill its one of the best xD.
3) The main attack skill, lightning is AWESOMELY cool O_O. It has cool graphics and takes down enemies in a snap. It'll sustain all those hard-core gamers until level 55 (I think), where you get not one lightning bolt, but multiple lightning bolts! That's right, at level 55 (I think >_>) you get an AOE lightning attack. Yay!
Anyways, I'm just lvl 35 right now and just wanted to advise those mages-to-be's about what they're getting in to.
For me.......the ranking of usefullness:
1)Ice - you soooo need this skill. Don't even think about saving mp. Hit+run is tedious and pretty much impossible, so you'll need to slow them down then kill xD.
Tip: Try and find training spots where the monster dies right as it unfreezes or is about to hit you.
2) Lightning- Looks cool, and does decent damage. Too bad it gets boring after the first...10 or so levels. Oh well, we laugh at those loser warriors who have to get down and dirty - we play cheap xD.
3) Mind Buster - Main attack until thunder, looks kind of stupid though. You can't level this guy up, so don't be conservative - lightning is just that much better.
4) Magic Shield - Aha! Finally something to make up for our stupid defence. One thing though - it has 3 serious flaws that is expected for a lvl 1 shield, but the fact that it lasts a long time is soooo worth it! However, it costs a special potion to use - I'd recommend buying 50 of them and just leaving them there for future usage. The only thing that doesn't make this first is that:
a) Mp pots are 30....MAX!!! WUH?!?! Pretty stupid if you're placing your life on the line for potions that only give 30.
b) Meh, we have less mp than hp - stupid huh? Unless you want to be doing NOTHING on white-name monsters, wisdom should be less than ten. Therefore, magic shield kinda dies out fast - not only is it absorbing damage but you're also spending it.
5) Magic Clear - Stupid useless thing. Doesn't even get rid of poison. The only thing I can see it doing is showing off - but hey, if you wanted to show off you'd be a acolyte xD.
THIS IS ONLY UP TO MY LEVEL - 35!!!!! There's more, but I haven't tried them out yet.

That's what this poll is based on. It not which class is the most powerful it's which class is your favorite.

i have to disagree about the magic clear. If u read the discription its very useful, since aco's skill doesn't negate the effect of slow movement or some types of stun. I'm still unclear of what other status it negates but it is very useful when fighting against predictors and archers.

Iono whether it clears off only in PvP or not, but there's a whole lot it doesn't clear off:
poison, burn, the dark thingy, etc etc....all the stuff you'd want it to work on T_T.

even though acolytes have a rough start, i think we're the best in terms of usefulness and all that. we're also the nicest players, because we're born to help.
