Mage Epidemic

[raygeku]

Lately all I see are elementalist and Mages. The arena's population is 80% to 90% Mages and 10% Rest. Give them a break you know. Is not fun playing a Deathmatch where the other team is full elemental. I don't care about you guys ding damage or W/e. Please though, give other classes a try.

[Georgie]

They can't help it. It's not their fault that Mages have godly attack.

[caducus]

This is why I suggest to lower thier damage for STD mode down to 70% of max(so that they would do damage of that around a priest), but nooooooo people don't want to lose thier PvP dominace.

[raygeku]

Well, i don't have a problem with Mages but dam. Lol. Give the Class a brake. People are going to quit because of how boring is going to get if all we have is mages.

Guys. Listen. There are two types of Mages. Those that love the mage class (Me), and those that play it because they get easy kills (90% of Mage Population).

A lot of the ppl that choose Mage class have no idea how to use it. Trust me, I know. Ppl are so easy to beat.

I was just in a room with 18 ppl, and about only 5 of them were of the Mage class. Many ppl DO choose another class.

And to caducas, what part of the mage class don't you understand. We are SUPPOSED to hit hard. That is our thing man! And plus, we only have 2 attacks that do almost 400 damage. None other do that high. Look at Priest's Holy attack. It hits for like 330 AND is an AoE attack. That isn't overpowered? If you bring our damage down to that of a priest, then the Mage class is just the priest class, but can't heal. What fun is that?

[caducus]

I've been hit with Fire Walls that went up to 550 before. Most of the time thought fire wall hits for about 400+. Blizzard also hits for around there. All other attcks hit for 250+. Priests attacks are limited to 180-250.

If you are SUPPOSED to hit hard, then in STD mode I think you should SUPPOSED to have a weakness some were else? No, you take the same damage as every one else do to 55 of all stats and have near(with in about 100 healthish) as every other class. So you get a Class, which has no weakness and hits like a freaken truck. Yeah that is so balance.

[deoxys114]

If you were hit for 550 before with Fire Wall, you must have been in an ULT room. Because that's the only time it will hit that high.

Weakness? How about our casting speed? Slowest in the game. Takes forever. How about that we can't block fast enough after a grab? Every other class besides Priest can. That's a weakness right there. How about how often we are left open after every single one of our attacks?

That's 3 right there.

[Mcslave101]

Hahah. Im personally not a mage man. But Windslayers Mages are easy to use (and indeed bring out the damage) but that doesn't exactly mean i chose mage for the kills. I chose it because i find the melee fighting monsters very tedious and annoying. Archer was my second choice in the matter.

[bensonboy2]

i have a mage and he does do lots of damage in pvp and hes really easy to level up but i do still prefer Warriors (mines a paladin soon).

[fragems]

In every game I play I always have enjoyed the infamous glass cannon (mage) and if your soo tired of mages play ULTM it makes everything MUCH more balanced (mages die after 1-2 hits) that is IF you want to play the game how it was designed =P

Slowest cast time is BS. I have done tests and A mage's cast time(or cast delay) is equal to that of a Warriors.

Shockwave = Wind cutter
Ice Spear = Ice-bolt

also can't block fast enough? maybe you just arn't that fast but I have met many a mage that can block a ton after a grab and have to resort to doing a change direction grab. Also EVERY SINGLE warrior attack has a cast time as well. How fair you think it is to have to get into melee range and then have a cast time that can be stopped? Only skill that doesn't is the Zerger attack sonic slash.

Mages are easy to kill .....
The only "Mage" I've come across that was hard was a dude that able to teleport left to right ..
But iLater found out it was a glitch/bug abuser =| SO,iHaven't found anyone yet..of a mage THAT good..

[deoxys114]

I would love to continue this, but that isn't what this thread is about. If you wish to continue caducus, you can pm me.

Back to topic!

[tw15t3dv1ru5]

mage=high damage+low hp=easy kill...
after u get close to a mage u can kill him very easily(u just have to know how)

[doki_]

Agreed,Tw135t3d.
They hit up to like 300s so when iGot under 400 iTRY my best to avoid their hits more better.

[albertws]

In this game, a Mage is like a Sniper on a FPS game... If you are far from him, you die. If you get close to him... RIP little mage.

[blake3470]

Noob mages who choose the class because they suck and mages get easy kills are very annoying, but you guys should stop complaining about it -.- While they do high damage, they are easy to kill. Also, if they hit for the same damage as priests, then priests would totally overpower any mage because priests can heal.

[xserpenterax]

Blake, are you aware you just called yourself a noob? Hence your signature.

XD Now, you are a mage fan who knows his facts :D We mages have advantages and disadvantages, like every other class. Don't pick on JUST them. Actually, I went into PvP not too long ago and found 2 other mages AT THE MOST. Most of the people in there were Warriors, actually. Should we HATE Warriors just because they have different advantages than Mages, such as high-as-heck defense and Melee abilities? NO. I have a Warrior as well (not as a main) and I love it. All I'm saying is, don't gang up on ONE class just because they're better at SOME things. Capeash?

[seph82]

Well i use Mage class cuz it's cool give hight damage (and i dont talk only about PvP) but in general.
Like said Deox, mage yes hit hard but have low hp, and our aoe have a good delay so it's not much spammable like shaolin's combo :\
