I have a question regarding Mages in general.
Where do you see the Mage atm? Because the way I see it, the burst damage compared to pDDS (scouts, rogues, champs..and YES, I compare with the same equipment) is almost nonexistent(20-30kk hit to 200kk hit). AoE wise most physical damage dealers will outdamage you, without a doubt. Atm the Mage is, imho, nothing more than a support class for some pdds. Sure some have quite a nice AoE or burst damage. But if I'm in a group with 2 scouts all I wanna do is deinstall the game or change class to heal because my damage is nonexistent.
Greetings.
I partially agree, i dont see much mages in partys, just couple of mages (m/s and m/ch) in partys and they do nice dmg even over pdps just under rogues and warden/rogue cuse these classes have really huge dmg (special in AoEs) right now and hope get balanced in next patch as happened with ch/r (ik ch/r still have nice dmg) and under wl/ch (idk why this class dont get nefed in the AoEs yet, if its cuse most of their dmg is fake or cuse really they are balanced and as happend with the mages, wl/ch its the only kind of warlock i see in partys, wondering why). Hope they make changes on mages to give them more sustain and buff their dmg.
One of the big problem i think is on this balance its everyone do the same, try the changes of patches on a dummy, see whats the higer dmg they get and play that class on runs, why? cuse all care more about be the top dmg on scrut then play a funny class. Few ppl try the averange dmg class on run, but after see they are not doing dmg or they are not the top dmg they inmediatly change class for the higer dmg class they play. why i say this, cuse i saw that in guild and in mix partys. Saddly that not help to the Devs to get info about the different classes, special when the ppl playing low dmg classes dont come to the forum and say what they feel or notice about a specific classes and help the Devs make changes on these classes.
I say all this cuse i been asking for changes on diferent classes i been trying (Ch/wl, W/Wl, W/r, Ch/r) and those classes being getting changes, some were top dmg for one patch and get nerfed in next patch xD but well at least got nice changes and some of these still doing nice dmg. Hope get balance on skills for Ch/W in next patch and balance on rogues, wrd/r and wl/ch next patch too,
Greetings
