there is an area in BK where the use of scrolls and pots is restricted (only stones are allowed). i was level 75 when i fought against level 90+ fighters of a strong guild (who won in the first guild tournament) there and i'm proud to say that i won against them.

i wont reveal my battle tactics (although you can easily figure it out if you watch me fight against other players), but there is a tried and tested way for mages to win a battle in 16 seconds or less.

how you configure your skills plays a very important part in winning. another, of course, is your equipment. i am an INT mage, and the INT of all my equipment is over 30. i used to be a full INT mage, but i decided to put 25 to SPR since criticals and luck usually make or break a battle.

i'll try to post my shortcut bar to show you what skills i use (and strengthen), and i hope it can help you in deciding your skill configuration to help you win against other players ;)

Then again, pvp in these two games may be different. Cuz note, we don't have the buffs that all of the classes get in BK, our only form of pvp is guild wars, which can EASILY be unequal. Also.. greens don't drop as often in Outsparks Fiesta. I didn't get my first green mage armor til my 60s. And most people can't even afford them.
Even some of the best mages in Outsparks Fiesta get completely owned by fighters.
Idk.. I just think its so easy for one to outbuff the other thus making the fight impossible for some.

Also.. lightning stuns in BK, and not in Outsparks version.

lighting stuns? wtf outspark?

When u fight against a mag +9 armor or shield are useless, the reason y is obvious, enhancing only improves physical defence not magic defence as well THEREFORE having a +9 armor doesn't help.

ALSO when u fight a mage THE AXE is your best friend ^^

Yup, if fully empowered on duration, it lasts about 3 seconds.

Stifle is LOL.

Tried warring my entire guild with a cleric, and apparantly Stifle also disables the person's stones/pots.

Edit: maybe not, perhaps the cleric I kept stifling and shooting is mistaken, or just really bad at stone/potting.

Mages definitely own in BK. I wish Outspark gave us all the same skills and effects =/

An out of topic question. But Yosei is the Kanji in your sig supposed to be "妖精" (meaning fairy) instead?

My computer sucks with writing stuff out it appears, it doesn't like me <.< It's supposed to be Yousei, yeah, meaning fairy.

I agree with mages being a weak pvp class. I think archers are the next most squishy. I have gone 1v1 with level 66 mages and won. It is all about the speed of the battle though. With fighters lack of magic defense, if I get feared I get owned. But if i am able to stun the mage it goes down. Axe is totally the best friend here. With the fast damage a mage can deal you have to be able to do the same. Archers however, dont do nearly as much damage, they just have a few really painful debuffs. 120 damage a second or something for 60+. And with their high evasion, they are harder to hit. But mages are easy to hit, and can take hits. PvP is not their strong point.

I don't know about you or anyone else but I think Mages rock in this game (when it comes to PvP at least). In fact, I distinctly remember one Guild War I was in that I just dominated. I was level 24 or close to that and we went up against a Guild that had a few level 20s and two level 30s. One of the level 30 guys was a Fighter and the other was a Cleric. Anyways, I was dispatching most of the level 20s with relative ease and then came the level 30s. The Cleric I only managed to kill once and i'm still not sure how I did it but I killed that level 30 Fighter several times.

I had to spam my stones and potions like crazy but it was well worth it when I practically dominated the entire Guild by myself. Eventually my Guild stopped but I kept going and then their Guild stopped (sort of) and they all just ran off. It was the happiest moment of my Fiesta life to see them run away from me or die by my hands. Of course, I can no longer do that but it was fun while it lasted. There really is no strategy or trick to it. Just spam the hell out of potions, stones, and spells. Oh and of course... having a Cleric around helps a lot too, lol.
