Mages...

[booyah8876]

Oh yeah... I REALLY believe that the mages will be the packs of people that can just take EVERYTHING on in the end game sessions... I mean... at first... I got pwned by slimes... like 5 times... but then I started to level... and then grinding was easier with the better armour... and then the better weapons... it's all a start slow, but then BÖÖM!! You're off!!! And I can deal 1k+ damage in NO TIME now... with all the spell upgrades, and all that other good stuff... I don't need to outrun anything... from the distance of 13 metres I can kill something before it gets in range to hit me... unless it was those stupid "Mini Pinkies" or whatever... they had spells, too. (That's what my high Magic def was for, though ;) )


I just think that people need to give the mages enough credit... every needs to understand that I can't tank... like some of the other people... OMG... in the KQ with the slime... OMFG... King Slime would come jump me... and no one would try to distract it... OR heal me... -.-" Mages can't tank.


Mages are for people that have long attention spans... ADD people... not a good choice ;)*

[lunelune]

Mages ftw.

[booyah8876]

oh w00t!! A Wizmage O.o special... and you can see where I am coming from?? Getting pwned to start with... but then it's a HUGE exponential climb up the damage ladder, and BÖÖM... now WE pwn you ALL!!! MÜÄHÄHÄHÄHÄHÄ!!! >=)

[SexyAkuma]

Wizmage FTW....


*i love mages and they are really fun in tis game, but im just wondering if their dmg is kinda low atm and will it be fixed i hope.


*IM a pure INT mage and i relly think mage dmg is really low.*

[ComputerSC]

<div>
Their damage is kinda low?!

<div>
They're the highest damage class.*They easily outdamage*anyone (as they're supposed to do, ofc).

[lunelune]

Want to bet? Coeus had a full str axe fighter and did as much damage, if not more, than my mage, and didn't die in two or three hits. INT effects magic damage very little, or not at all. If anything it's not noticable...





And anyhow it's no that fact we still do just about the most damage in the game. It's that we don't do -enough.- Mages should be doing much more than they are, at least in PvE.

[SexyAkuma]

I Agree with you 100% lunelune we are doing ****e dmg as mages. we should be doing way more dmg like 1 or 2 hitting things , but a last we dont takes use like 5- or 6 hits.

[Magic]

i know, im thinking of making a pure End + SPR mage with int rings and armour.





you know the int you add is glitched, it doesn't change the dmg like it should AT ALL. but the armour and rings (equipment + int) works, so i suggest just going end spr etc.. till they fix the glitch. which probably won't be till open beta.

[SilenceDeath]

i looking forward for next phase hope they fix mage int and i love dispell curse espically slow and bleeding and such...

[Keenan]

i ("http://photobucket.com/") might make a mage in CB2 a girl mage.

[JimJimster]

y?


uh ya mages do OK damage compared to everybody*else but the damage currently dealt by mages compared to the time clerics hav to do damage while they tank is way off balance. if they leave clerics where they are mages should hav their damage increased by about 20%.


if they downgrade clerics id say about 15% better damage to mages*

Just direct fighters that are bad at tanking and distracting mobs to http://www.fiestafan.com/forums/showthread.php?t=415


That way they'll have no excuse for not doing their job as a tank properly.

[Hochman]

Well..When CB2 begins, ill most likely be a Mage.

[keroexe]

so what* are there more than one class of mages or something cause you guys said some thing about a wizmage and a int???? what are these???

[Keenan]

its called a job chage my friend mage to wizmage*etc...

[keroexe]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ................ WOW COOL i cant wait till cb2 comes out

[ComputerSC]

<div>
Lune: STR and INT works exactly the same way. If adding INT is pointless, then adding STR is also pointless.

<div>
Yea, maybe your friend's one-hit damage was higher than yours, but you do the damage more rapidly.

Maybe you should check Fireriot's grinding videos on Youtube. I will never be able to kill those monsters that fast.

[Enthar]

plus: a wizard beein a tank????


that's what u need the axe guy for...u'll make a perfect team!

[SexyAkuma]

I know mages aint tanks, i only play mages in every game i play, i been playing them for years.


*so i know these mages do mad low dmg and the INT aint working right.

[JimJimster]

mages CAN become human machine guns tho, magic missle 1 use all*empowers on cooldowntime


ya fireriots vids prove, 7 GOOD hits in about 5 seconds is definately a death sentence*

[johnyhill]

Want some fun walk out of rumen and pwn a slime with your most powerful spell. at lvl 21 I do 4k+ damage. Then take all your armor off grab a nooby staff and beat them to death while watching all the noob mages die while trying to copy you lol (I know I'm evil and I feel bad abought it.........ok I'm over it :D)

[JimJimster]

nice idea, lol make sure they cant see your lvl tho ahhaha*

[booyah8876]

LMFAO @Jonnyhill: I think I will... and I know what you mean when you say that you could hit that slime for over 4k damage... The amount of damage that a spell does on enemies just increases exponentially every level you gain, and I do like 2k with my best spell on the basic slimes :P


As for the stat editing... I put everything into my Physical Def. Because I know that the amount of damage difference from INT would be not a significant increase in the chance of my survival as would an increase in my DEF. I can take another hit, and that hit could mean the cooltime for one of my spells =)


And as for the upgrading the spells, I don't put it in the basic MM, I put the time decreases in the other ones, lie the firebolt, or the lightning... although... now that I think about it... the basic MM should be the one that I spend my points on. O.o

[johnyhill]

the other one I do is leave only boots and helmet on and walk around punching as many different slimes as I can just once to get there attention (they get bored and leave after a while so you cant get to many of them) then while I'm surounded by like 10-12 slimes I sit down and watch the newbie's try and kill them.lol

[JimJimster]

i hav 16 points to spr, mage def and criticals are wat i like anyway.


i put like 5 points to str when i was lvl 6 because i thought i could take them back, i couldnt figure out where the spells were so i tryied meleeing slimes with my mage and it didnt go so well*

[johnyhill]

I put all into int. the way I see it this adds abought 1 point of damage for every point I add to each spell and with my ring at lvl 21 I have in total a plus 25 damage to each spell I can usually get off 6 spells before a monster gets to me if I'm careful so that means I do a extra 150 points of damage this often means the difference between a live monster and a dead monster. although if I had it to do over I think I would go with the spr instead to get the good crit rate

[JimJimster]

ive done 4 criticals in a row before, massive pwning*

[johnyhill]

Lol Wow I got two*in a row once but thats it.

[lunelune]

After I realized how crappy INT was, I stopped. That was after WizMage, I had +17 points in it at that point. Afterwards I went full SPR. With all my gear + my base and added SPR and maybe a scroll here or there I do crits like crazy. I might go with a full SPR build in OB, but I'm not quite sure. It all depends if INT was working properly in CB1.

[JimJimster]

i think u mean in cbt2 but yeah im thinking full spr in ob unless int accually does work, i might do all spr and just a set of 5 in int*

[fundude93]

the cost of the damage is money for spells(if you want to buy a new spell each time you can use it, you better be a virtual bill gates or something)


and you also need sp stones...looooooooots of them unles you rest every few kills while using the higher level spells:(

[Flashrave]

oh yeas, mages are underrated. gringing really isn't all that difficult, find a mob of greens and oneshot them all repeatedly. SO easy.

Ich kenne ein bischen deutche, aber i hat mein vocab fergessen nur alles.

und ich leibe du auch <3 ;)
