I and many other players have noticed that mages have the power of character 20-50 levels below them, and these are not comparisons based on wealth. Equally funded mages simply do far less damage per minute. Most classes have some type of multihit skill that generally does a fair amount and is spammable. Mages have 2 attack methods, relatively slow, powerful single hit skills, or 1.5 second charges of big bang to perform multiple hits. Either way, they get outdamaged by much lower characters of other class-types.
