Archers and mages, even though they are both DDs, just have different abilities /shrug
The only thing I complain is our DoTs given to mages. I agree with Spirit on a mage overpowering an archer, at least in damage. I don't complain with the AoEs, the power burst, mages are MADE to deal high-damage paper cuts while being flimsy paper. But DoTs as a finishing touch just doesn't seem right. Our poisons were what set us apart from mages, other than our better endurance.
