Lvl 200 Big Bang Arch Mage Solos Pap in 28 seconds.....

the point is the right now, pre-bb, it takes a well funded 200 i/l 5+ minutes to solo

That doesn't change anything about what I said.

pre-BB Mage damage is laughable, yes, but what the Mage in the video is doing to Pap is not uncommon to a lot of RPGs.
