I like your views on a magic ed, you seem to be a pretty good one.

I try to be. I'm thankful to have higher level friends and some capped buddies that allow me to smack them around for practice and study. I've took down a many mages and and good number of fighters/archers. Clerics give me hell (at higher levels, all that spam healing throws my damage off, even with FEAR & STIFLE). Too many people read forums and try to fight that way instead of practicing and dying. You have to know your opponent if you try to pvp with a mage, and nine times out of ten most players running around in the FBZ's talking smack are either enhanced like crazy or charmed all to hell. For example, beware of players with horns, a tail, wings, a suit and glowing weapons. YOU WILL DIE, because they armed to the teeth with critical junk. Normally when I see that they are armed with mighty potions, extenders, and other SC buffs as well, and as a mage, it does makes NOT sense to fight them, unless you are taking notes on how much damage you can do in that situation (or just how powerful you are overall). I don't even bother to attack them, because the fight is unbalanced as hell, and it's a waste of time. I get my kicks from beating opponents the normal way (with the normal in-game items), with skill and brains, not spending $15-30 in the Cash Shop. The worst thing is the ones that do that and still die (mostly mages)....
