Ringetsu is on a distinguished road
I'm a mage user and personally I think that we are not overpowered in any way. The only way that a mage can tank is if they pop on tons of scrolls and have a cleric spam heal them which is not efficient and a waste of sp when compared to a fighter. In most cases of PvP especially against a good cleric of the same lvl, a mage won't be able to kill the cleric even if you're full int, one round of attack simply won't kill them and the cool down time for the spells simply takes way too long and by that time the cleric can cast around 6heals within the 15 second if they maxed cool down. The only chance you have is to team them and if they catch up to you it's gameover unless you burn pots and stones while you run like crazy. In grinding on monsters either solo or in party you always have to burn tons of pots and stones just to stay alive because you attract soo much aggro and you cleric is too busy to heal you or the party refuse to rest and your sp consumption is way too high. (ps I use all tier 1 spells except firebolt)
