Yes, MS has terrible mages. They're not so bad to start with, but they go down hill rapidly. Priests are way too heavily based around leeching off others. F/Ps often end up just Misting whole maps (which is retarded). I/Ls are quite fun until 4th job. 4th job is the killer of mages. It completely kills off any fun they were to play, which is a pity since I love Chain Lightning. I have a 130 I/L, and I can not stand to level it anymore. I HATE Blizzard (and its counterparts), but they lack the power and ability to train well enough without it. It's stupid. They're not good team players (besides Bishops, and even they're limited), which all mages totally should be.
The horrible mage classes of MS really stand out to me even more after playing DFO, which has some of, if not, the best mages I have ever played. I love all four of them. Great solo ability. Great team support. Great arsenal of skills and abilities. Flexible. Fun. Basically everything I've always wanted in mages (MMORPG wise; I love console mages, for the most part).
