SE hates Mages?

- useless offensive magic

- Shell/Protect nerfed

- you can AoE a group of monster but you'll get exp/sp from only one

- 1000~1300 max hp, 3 hits or 1 skill hit from a monster cost your life (at this moment, when Shell/Protect nerfed)

- and you need 100+ vit allotment just to have little more hp, can take one more hit from mobs

- WTF is elemental allotment? I reassign them so many time and still can't see any different

- potato sack is your gear!! wear it!!

- no r50 weapon, no top rank unique weapon

- a piece of branch is your staff/rod!! use it!

- AM.... wait 25 sec, 100MP and deal 50 critical damage to the Great Buffalo

- 15~30 action bar slots need, but you have to live with the worst action bar in the MMO history

- when you want to scroll down to 2nd or 3rd action bar, you press UP or DOWN and it toggle your target type and then you die because your action bar and target type was fu--ed up

just make the dialog display it .

no just joking, but yes, we hate them.

Be a good healer and go make me a sammich
you dont need to nuke :D

Errr....even without Vit you won't get one shotted by anything your level.

Oh look, its you again crying about Protect and Shell

Troll ;\

It's the truth

if you can't accept the truth then you're worse than trolls

It's not as good as the OPness it was before, sure. But it's far from useless.

I am feeling this pain a bit as a DD Conjurer, however equipment takes a big role here, and it seems you don't have up to date gear. Even with lower rank stuff, I still do more damage than most others in the group if I look up the elemental weaknesses. However, I do get 2-3 shot with bad gear.

Macros make the 30+ skills just fine though, switching between the elements with only a single press. Also, elemental allotment effects everyone, why even bring it up?

Wow. You must be a bad mage Evangela. O.o

I can do upwards of 200 dmg with offensive magic on anything my level

they have nerfed shell/protect but they STILL work as intended. go solo a boar as a mage with protect and see what it does to you >_>

Learn2notAOE

needs moar vit

You put more points in vit to be invincible! (well not really, but certainly will not die easily then >_>)

You're doing it wrong

... You're still doing it wrong....

Why do we need r50 weapons again? We dont ACTUALLY hit anything with them, we're mages (though I would like an r50 weapon, you know, for my epeen)

I honestly dont know what to say to this. What were you expecting? Halberds?

AM is pretty rubbish, i agree with you there

Really? A good player never blames his tools

See above


Seriously, there is no one class without its problems, but I'd be much happier for SE to fix the current problems at hand (battle mechanics, lack of content, Gridania) and then focus on balancing out than nitpicking all the little kinks in CON/THM.

If you are getting killed in 3 hits or 1 hit with WS, WITH Protect/Shell up, you must be wearing weathered gear or something, because I know mages who can tank some of the NM's...
