I was wondering whether or not KMS is going to fix the biggest problem with Arch Mages. The KMS updates in January did do a lot to balance arch mages, but I still think that the formula needs to be fixed to fully balance the class.
I personally don't know if they will; they mentioned changing the formula in the interview, but their changing the base attacks of many skills makes it seem otherwise. If they do change it, I think they'll make int no longer add to MA, and int and MA will be multiplied. I think it will pretty much be the WA formula, just with MA instead. This makes all the items that add a pitiful amount of MA compared to the amount of WA added actually worth while for mages.
And since This thread would get boring fast if it were just for the MA formula, give general predictions for what and how classes will be changed.
