Keeping it up all the time is going to be a challenge for mages to compete, especially for F/Ps since paralyze range suuuucks, which makes things more interesting.
You realise that max Arcane Ames has 30% activation rate? Paralyze alone has 34.3% chance to not add an Arcane Ames stack. It may even be possible to activate 3 stacks at once with Paralyze. It's hardly an issue. You can clearly see he's rebuffing Arcane Ames with almost every Paralyze, and Paralyze is a 660ms skill now.
Archmage %/s is now (significantly) higher than Warrior single target. Paralyze has 300% range. It's hardly pomegranate. The biggest limiting factor on Magician DPS is Teleport Mastery's range, and they're well strong without it.
