In comparison with the top tier DPS classes like Mechs/Dual Blades/Night Lords/Wild Hunters/Bowmasters do the newly revamped F/P Archmage stand a chance to be in such a tier?
I think they'll have to nerf the damage bonus that DoT gives Mist Eruption since it is completely imbalanced when compared with I/Ls. Otherwise, Mages should be on par with what Warriors have gotten, if not better off in terms of training as well as single target. Given that Elemental Reset lets them attack with no disadvantage, they can output as much as their %/s dictates, which is rather high. In terms of their overall damage though, I can't say because it depends on how well Magic Damage scales compared to Physical Damage ranges. So if you had a magician with the same damage range as a warrior, the magician should be doing a bit better I believe. I want to say this was balanced under the assumption that it is more difficult to get a higher range with a magician than a warrior as well as other small details about each individual job.
