You are asking for an all round class with EVERYTHING. You may as well say mage should be able to heal themselves. Yes you're gonna say "mage isn't suppose to heal". Likewise, mage isn't suppose to kite - that's archer's ability.

You don't play other class and say mage is underpower. You compare yourself to other classes, then say who cares wat skills they get. If you want to compare yourself to other classes, then you need to be able to see what Pros you have over them as well.

Mage is a party class, and because you're soloing, you're not getting the most out of being a mage. And that's where you're underpowered. It's not the class, it's the way you play.

Range - Mage's spells range between 12m - 13.5m. Archer's range from 10.5m - 13.5m. What more do you want? You DO have the max range given by any class in Fiesta.

Mages ARE supposed to do the most damage. As I said before, we serve no purpose other than to dish out as much damage as possible. Actually, I have seen plenty of Fighters that are not pure STR that can chop me and monsters down with absolutely no effort what so ever. Yeah... AoE spells... everyone brings that up but again, they're absolutely useless in PvP and close to being useless in PvE situations that involve just you and not an entire party.
Now, to not mess things up with PVP and PVE.

AOE Is used for PVE. I can mob down a room in abyss quicker than any fighter given that we've both got a cleric. (Not a lvl 70 abyss room btw.. a room with only 2 mobs fighter may win, but a room with 60 mobs a mage will kill faster.)

In PVP - I can fear fighters away before they touch me. Their amount of HP may not allow me to take them down, but it's not like we're helpless and have no skills to counter.
