^ Er, it would be nice if you worked on getting some manners too. >_>
You're not taking in any of our thoughts. Your attitude is killing this thread. There were actually some valid points in your post that I agreed with. If you don't want to change your views, then don't post this if you know people are going to contradict it. The whole point of posting in forums is to get other people's comments and feedback. Some people agreed, some people disagreed, and that's that. If somebody disagrees, you don't need to go all out on them.
And if you even bothered reading my wall of text, I didn't compare mages to any other class. ;/ I compared your complaints to what I watched other mages do, with and without CS. And from that, I concluded that mages are balanced because I've watched mages do what you say they could not do.
I don't mind if you don't reply to this. Just that next time, if you're not going to let thoughts other than yours soak into your head, then just don't post something that will get other people talking. It's called a forum because we discuss.
