to GMS. Each archmage/bishop vid have random damage ranges for the same class. So far:
Three I/L Archmages, including a 147 soloing pap and a 162 at skeles, had chain lightnings of
around 60-75k while another 162 had 100-115k noncrit.
*Currently, I/L has been the weakest one of the three overall from the kms vids*
A few F/P Archmages had 65-75k+ paralyze while a 173 F/P Archmage was hitting 275-300ks at zakum.
Bishops were hitting 60ks with angel ray and a godly 163 bishop was hitting 250k+.
*This was before the change of angel ray to 840%*
Seems like % equips are a dominant factor in allowing archmage/bishops to have the
damage players would like to see for bossing. Elemental weapons may be a problem
but I don't see it being 'broken' for archmages.
Give a "godly" Archmage an Elemental Wand and that is a pretty huge problem. If a 173 F/P can hit 300k on Zakum in KMS, they can do well over 400k in GMS, and probably around 600k with Apples (+ DoT). You can argue that the gap between differently funded players' gear is large enough to mask the effects of Elemental Wands, but that doesn't change the fact that they're still broken.
