Elemental Staves & Wands Known Issue

On the other hand, GMS mages get a 220 magic atk potion. Or is that just conveniently ignored? I mean, if Apples (100 atk) are enough to make pre-BB mages complain, what the hell is a 220 atk potion worth? It practically doubles most AMs' ranges. That's about 60% more than an Onyx Apple boosts my damage...

I need to mention that Matt boosts are much less significant on mages than Watt bonuses on other classes. Its just like how an Onyx Apple increases the DPM of a Nightlord more than any other class because they have the lowest Watt and a high weapon multiplier. In the case of a Mage, they normally have a much higher MAtt than other classes have of Watt and they have the lowest weapon multiplier; These effects will reduce the effectiveness of Matt potions. If you take the Evan as an example, they have 60 Matt from passive buffs, more equipment that offers Matt than other classes have for Watt (ex. Earrings, level 71+ shoes, etc.), and Weapons with a very high base Matt. All these factors lowers the effectiveness of any Matt potion. I should also point out that Mages have the lowest weapon multiplier in the game, so all increases to their stats will mean less than it does for other classes.
Although, its hard to say whether the 220Matt potion is broken or not in comparison to what the other classes have. Personally I think all Watt/Matt potions with more than 50Watt/Matt are broken.

Then we still have that issue with the fact that ssiws cheeses have a very short duration and apparently I havent seen them since the BB.
