Spoiler
Anyone on my buddylist in Khaini who has logged on in the last hour can confirm my euphoric joy in the newly-upgraded Evan class...I kinda had CAPS on the whole time.
Srs: Wow...just wow. First off, passive Mage crits? Looking ridiculously sexy. 73k Flame Wheel crits with no Fire Wand, SE, or other crazy buffs? ON SKELES? AT 151? That's amazing. Oh, and horizontal range? Jesus. Christ. And of course I don't have to mention how wonderful the new Booster is, but it was enough to make me go from hating Flame Wheel with a passion to, along with the other aforementioned updates, to going GAGA over it.
But why play a class just to train? We all want to be useful in other places of the game too, LIKE BOSSES, right? That's why myself, Goals, and other ArchMages enjoy playing our classes - seeing just how strong an ArchMage can get to prove Magician single target DPS is worthwhile.
Instead of another spoiler like the one above, I'll just get to the point and say: I (obviously) paused the video at every use of Illusion to total the damage dealt per hit. Highest amount with one crit (the one at the very end with a 31,254 crit) was 84,954 damage.
Again - HOLY. CRAP. Let's just understand how amazing that is. I can hit 50ks with Paralyze on Skeles if I have a Poison Wand and Echo. Goals, the strongest Magician in GMS, can hit 4xks with Chain Lightning on elementally neutral monsters, in the mid 17x levels.
This KMST player hit a combined near 85k hit at 151 without Echo, SE, and most likely crazy amounts of magic and MW.
That's utterly amazing. And the best part? We haven't seen Blaze yet. New-and-improved Blaze + SE + Fire Wand may just be hitting 1xx crits on Skeles in GMS, and even crazier 15x crits at Pianus and other Fire-weak bosses.
tl;dr: Evan's kick ass, render all ArchMages obsolete, and perfect the issues the Magician classes had in the past. To all who love the concept of magic:!
Not to mention the animations look way cooler than other mages.
