are they trying to kill the original mages

I like to train on mages, my first mage is the i/l thn the blaze wiz and after that the evan and now i'm training a battle mages. with each mages i see there skills are getting better, they level faster their mobs skills are better and they have great support skills, better dps .... i'm even consider switching to a bam as my main although i'm 186 i/l mage. with the way things are going for my ice mages and all the nerfs what is the point, a skill that hits 3 and skill with a charge and an other with a cooldown. death to the O.G mages how nice
