SE hates Mages?

[Chardrizard]

i will have to agree with Evangela but i wouldnt call it SE doesnt love mage, i would call it the needs of rebelancing classes in this beta phase.

Regarding the AoE multiple mobs and getting SP off only one comment, Evangela is referring to mobs outside of leves. Evan, like me, prefers the traditional grind for ranking over the levequest fail cycle.

Though, even during leves, you can only lay claim to one set of mobs, not multiple. For a couple leves, Hiding Under Beds for example, I'd love to be able to round up 3 moles at a time to blast them with AoE, but since I can only claim one at a time, it makes offensive spell AoE a limited functionality.

That isn't a problem exclusive mages only, however. I'd love to get SP off multiple mobs when I use Aura Pulse or Seismic Shock, but since we can only claim one target at a time outside of leves, it's not possible.

But I still agree, the battle system is slated for a major overhaul, so let's see how it is after that, rather than rant about the old one.

I'm really disappointed in everybody that posted to flame Evangela. Every one of her points is well thought through. Tanaka obviously played DoW, and at best considered mages to be a work in progress at release.

He/She's being flamed because the only valid complaint in the entire post was the potato sack comment.

That's the point Evangela... the potato sack comment was the only valid point. So nothing wrong with that comment. It's all the other comments that were not really valid.

[DeadRiser]

She does have some valid points.
Elemental attributes don't make that much of a difference which is a shame. I don't even see that much of a shard drop difference.
And I thought the Jade Crook was a r48 weapon, is it not? I'm not sure.
AM's do suck, I haven't used them but 30 seconds to cast a spell that doesn't do much damage for 100mp? Sounds lame, and they don't look that great neither.

Actually, Elemental Resistances only affect shards received through gathering.

As someone in my LS recently put it, "If it affected shard drops from mobs, then I wouldn't be sitting on 6k+ earth shards."

Rank 35 Conj tier 2 nukes + Profunity2

Vs helidor Dobylns (blue in a party of 3) 1400-1700dmg

The Drawf diremites (orange in a party of 3) 700-900dmg

Of course these are with regiments, I see nothing wrong with the dmg at all.

Basically if you want to do big dmg nukes on anything besides DC/EM mobs, you have to regiment. BUt droping 50% of a mobs hp in 1 nuke does not seem underpowered at all. This is another example of how people are just doing it wrong

How did you do that much to a dwarf diremite?
What is your Int and gear you a wearing? And what battle regiments did you synch with?
I used Purge, Profundity II, chainspell and the most I did was around 600 with all spells, as a 44 Con with any regiment I could think of with another person. I couldn't even do 200-400 to those until I ranked to 40 with 146 Int. With Velveteen gear and Magic Accuracy rings. I am sorry I think you are exaggerating the numbers a wee bit, unless you sacrificed all you stats into Int, then I might believe this.
