what were you soloing at 27? I am talking about soloing, because even though fiesta is made to party and i did a lot of it, I do like to solo at times. My problem was even after spending tons of coin on pots and stones it was still very frustrating compared to other mages I have played in other games. I too like you play Mage first and foremost. lol anyway I started a fighter the last few days of CB2 and found that I was fighting maps ahead of my mage at a comparable level. I was soloing in sea of greed and forest of mist as early as lvl 8. granted I only took him to lvl 17 before CB2 ended but the way the early levels went led me to feel like my mage had been shorted. I did party in the prison and uruga with my mage and was surprised at the dmg I could do even on much higher mobs then my lvl but that was partying and solo I always felt underpowered. I love playing mage so I hope it won't feel the same in OB. (oh and build was full INT with all +4 equips and wisdom and wand mastery)

at 27 i partied alot at moonlight tomb, i did try to solo a few times, but the exp against time/cash spent didnt' compare noh you have a good point DR, being a Mage we will never excel in a solo environment, but i never felt underpowered during my time playing. I felt i made enough impact compared to other jobs of my level.

If you're gauging the jobs' potential by how well in can solo, well that's just like throwing a math genius in a Literature competition.. does it make him dumb or less intelligent because he came out last there? Same thing with a Mage.

I dunno i guess everyone has their way of seeing things. i don't gauge the strenght of the job i love to play by how well or how bad it can do at Solo. instead i understand that weakness and start up a good grind group. More the better
