SE hates Mages?

[Evangela]

why everyone keep comparing this Dodore killer guy to another normal gameplaying?

this guy also alloted his points to 174 VIT and 0 point to INT, isn't it another proof that SE didn't made mages in the right way and need to get fix?

man he doesnt have superpowers, he's not doing something that is impossible for anyone else to do.

sure maybe he minmaxed correctly but nobody is asking the average mage to solo an NM.

dunno how you say mages dont do damage, There are nice spells like shock, choke, frost, that not only do DoT dammage, but increase damage from proper offensive spell of same element, and combo shopck+profundity+thunder, is very effective. also you get sp for ALL mobs you AoE. set you chat to only display SP and you will see that.

Only thing that 1-shoots you ( except for thighs much higher than you) are Imps ( with that crazy fire spell) Vile gnats ( with the lihgtning, but if you pay attention you can dodge that one ) and devillets. But those 1-shot EVERYONE. its just their special skill, 1-shot annoying adventurers. Only way is use skills that reduce target TP, and hope you kill it before it recharges, or kill it so fast it wont be able to nuke you.


Only valid point is elemental points do seem useless. well devs said there is cap so you wont become overpowered if you max single element. However i don not see any differencem at least visible ones, in damage and resistance. But that is old problem, and it simply need tweaking and rebalancing.

Taking these two points into account, allotment focused around the same set up sans probably some VIT to be put into INT, you could be a viable soloer with CON. In fact, this thread should be moved to CON section and be changed to "SE hates CON?"

You can actually look up CON solo videos on youtube. Mages are not weak. You are just not using it to it's full potential.
