Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

Seems fair to me. Arch Mages are balanced with other classes now. It's completely unfair for them to get a free 1.25x damage boost.

No.

Actually, it's the most useless job in the game. Officially, like... i actually admit it now xD I still enjoy them though!

Big bang is so bittersweet given that all i play are mages/magic jobs. The power boost and new skills are... great. At the same time, my mages aren't really good at... anything anymore. They arent great at training... and they arent going to be used at bosses (i never expected that). Weapon attackers are so strong now that they dont need to bother with bringing mages (same story, different patch). Bossing aside. Training is awful now. I'm all for the ult cool down. Ults made the class boring. Putting the cool down on ults though mixed with the weak planning of the other attacks, equaled to about the mess i figured it would be. I now gain 1% an hour at oblivion on a mage that can one/two hit everything.

I never thought i'd see the day when a shadower out trains my mage at oblivion. LOL. now i know everyone isn't training very fast anymore at a high level, but... its more so depressing given that training was the only bright spot of playing a mage and now that one advantage is gone.

The whole elemental weapon nerf is somewhat mute anyway. If your godly and one/two hit all the mobs, the bonus does nothing but maybe make you noticeable at a boss. My main complaint is that i spent tons on mine (plus it would have been nice to know) but... change happens. Its more annoying though for people who can't afford % ints and now just lost a huge bonus. It's just another peach kick to the class as a whole. Now their just shiny colored weapons again. Nothing special for the class.

I guess i could just go back to my bishop, its somewhat entertaining seeing how in a small server like bellocan... people no longer ask for bishops really. Thanks to glitched self HB/door, the new damage formula and nerfed damage and boss exp n____n

Yes, the magic jobs as a whole are AMAZING now.

>___> i seriously cant wait for battle mage. At least now i'll have one buff that all the greedy hoe weapon attackers will want /RANT
