[WizardsRequiem]

At higher levels, if you want a grind party, 1 fighter, 1 cleric, 3 mages IS the dream party. I've heard it being stated by many people. That's if you want a maximum-capability grinding party, and it's easy to see why it would be considered a "dream grinding party."

Increasing the damage on a mage, as an archer, I think would unbalance. If you increase mage damage, just watch the number of archers complain on the official forums. We're already broken BECAUSE mages take our role. They stole our DoTs, they have high damage, they have great AoE. Mages become extremely impressive once they become high leveled, and we don't need "impressive" turning into "overpowered."

Then obviously Archers need to become something other than damage dealers. They're nothing more than a clone of Mages anyways so I believe Outspark or whom ever needs to change them. And increasing a Mages damage will not unbalance them unless they change it drastically to the point where we do thousands of points of damage at level one.
