When mages talk about exp/hour, I see numbers roughly 2 to 3 times what I get (up to about 4x for 1hkoing Mages). On the other hand, when I see dps figures on bosses, I'm similarly ahead by about 2x as much damage.
If every other class can train for 3 times as long, you can spend 3 times as long on bosses. It won't kill you to take 45min to kill Papulatus.
But as you very well know that's not the issue. I love spending 8-10 min to kill Papulatus and Pianus, and kill plenty, as evidenced by hundreds of screenshots floating around various forums. Plenty of ArchMages enjoy soloing bosses, but the problem is not those we can solo, it's with those we can't. It's finding a way to make ArchMages an asset or at least a contributing class rather than a liability or a luxury at bosses like HT, Zakum, and Pink Bean.
I'm glad the problem is addressed now
. Oh, and if the differences are as you say, then that means Paladins should get balancing upgrades as well, as they have.
