Both of these videos are bad examples, the mages CLEARLY overleveled the mobs they were killing, and the territory was made towards their advantage, I don't know why people think this is skilled. To any mage out there: This should come as second nature when playing as a mage, if you can't do this when you're in the level 140 range, I reccomend you pick a different job.
the reason why mages today spam ultimates is simply because it's faster than this. Not because they lack the skill to do it, it's just that this is really slow. I also posted why that character shouldn't have kept using ice demon(the second video) in the respective thread it was originally posted in. All of these ''super awesome control'' videos I've ever seen of mages, are of them doing it in places that give them the terrortial advantage, and where the mobs clearly under level them, the only exception to this is the fire/poison videos I've seen, which I cannot judge how that class plays because I haven't played one myself.
I ask you, can you show me a video of a MAGE(not a bishop) in an equal level mobbing area, without having a territory advantage, do this well and not get hit? I can easily not get hit in time temple, but the maps are completely straight and I can't look ''cool'' while teleporting, I bet that means I have bad control.Jump casting CL is also a waste of time when I can just telecast it and dodge a lot of attacks while doing it.
