Mage rant.

[Ralath]

That sarcasm is both idiotic and unnecessary. I did not complain about them not being perfect but more
about being so shafted they're next to impossible to play.

Please. "Impossible to play"? If they are "impossible to play," then no one would play them. If there is a clear, better alternative, why would someone choose to play the Mage?

On a side note, this actually happened to Archers for a while. People started choosing Mages over Archers because Mages became superior (or at least more valuable in people's mind) than the Archer. So yes, it does happen, if that's what you're wondering.

Who said about about reducing the cool down of Mind Drain to 10 seconds? As far as I know, it is at about two minutes, maybe three (maintenance going on so I can't check). It is only useful for PvP BECAUSE I can not use it often. It would be nice to be able to use it outside of PvP as well as inside.

Why would you use it outside of PVP? On monsters, because they don't use SP at all? That's useful.

I can rarely find a party for anything I want to do. And more often than not, the party is already full. Yes, of course they do but the cool down on Inferno is twice as long as the cool down on Frost Nova even with an empowerment and you have to sit there and cast it. Meaning, it is close to being useless unless you're capable of tanking mobs easily. Of course, the only way to do this is to buy a lot of cash shop items. Something I am incapable of doing.

You not being able to find a party=/=useless class.

Why would I play an Archer? The only class I enjoy playing is the Mage. Not to mention, it is the only class I am good at. I mean, I'm fairly decent at being a Cleric but that just isn't my thing. Um... Clerics are not supposed to. Their job is to heal and support the group. And they don't have anything to complain about except their lack of damage but if you allowed them to deal more damage they would be just as overpowered as Fighters are now. And who cares about the other classes? I don't because I don't play them. I only care about improving the class that I do play.

I'm not saying that you should go play an Archer (though they are fun once they get Nature's Mist). I'm saying there are FLAWS and LIMITATIONS with every class, not just the Mage.

No class is perfect and that is fine by me. But the Mage is the most underpowered class in just about every game I have ever played.

Opinion.

And why would I play another game? The only game I enjoy playing is Fiesta. Not to mention, it is the only game I am good at. I mean, I'm fairly decent at ESO but that just isn't my thing. And who cares about the other games? I don't because I don't play them.

Clerics are not supposed to be ranged nor are Fighters. But this doesn't mean we should get shafted just because another class doesn't have range.

You do have range.

The range of yours spells are just the same as the range of an Archer. If anything, the Archer should have LONGER range.

[CENTER]Fine, I'll correct you. You're wrong. I have not gotten far enough in each class to point out the pros and cons in every class but again, I play a Mage and nothing else.

That's what she means.

Archers should not even exist and the only reason they do is for "variety". After all, what fun would a game be where you can only pick between three classes?
