Best mage class?

And it's pretty easy and fun to level/boss with. The only downside I see for Evans, is the lack of actual stat resist (170 hyper doesn't count that much ).
Or you really could just switch to F/P, you won't be dissapointed at all.

I wouldnt say that status resistance is a downside on Evans anymore. 9/16 of the time you will have a 95% base status resistance, and the rest of the time you will have just a 15% which is nearly the same that the rest of the mages have(except for Lumi and Bishop).
