The fact that Liberated Magic, Brilliant Enlightenment and Truth of Magic are pretty much nerfed versions of existing skills make them out to be quite underwhelming. Unquenchable Flame gives a 60% increase in Ignition's DoT, which would be laughable for a level 30 4th job, even if it were multiplicative. And I won't even speak about Cataclysm... 6020% damage with a 120 second cooldown? Lol.
It seems like most of their damage comes from Orbital Orb + Ignition and they are supported by their cooldown skills. They might be powerful, but skills like Burn and Rest make it feel like Nexon was being very sparing with this job. Burning Region has a nice effect but its duration and cooldown is just harsh. They can't even ignore elemental resistance all the time like some other mages, with Spirit of Flame. Orbital Flame would truly have to be monstrously powerful to make up for the other skills... I think.
And I'm not sure why they even decided to go for the Lucky Seven -> Triple Throw -> Etc. route with Night Walkers. I thought this was supposed to turn Cygnus Knights into their own unique jobs and sever their ties with Explorers? Having been clones of them, and all. So why are like half their skills (still) copies of Night Lord's!?!?
