Archmages who were designed purely for attacking purposes should be stronger than evans who were designed with
both attack and support in mind.
To me, there is no point in a Legend being weaker than an ADV(Likewise my point spreads out to the other legends; Arans being weaker then warriors..and Mercedes being weaker then archers[They aren't]). If Maplestory wants to do it that way(Having Legends weaker then adventurers) then there is no need for Legends since Adventurers can handle the Black Mage by themselves which is why I believe Evans should be stronger then ArchMages. Sure AMs are focused on attacking, but they are also focused on DoT which Evans lack, that can stay for ArchMages and be improved upon to make them happy. I just have a strong stance on things having a purpose in MS even if most things seem to have no purpose(AKA Gaiden Classes and possibly now this if ArchMages get a significant boost.).
A class hybrid of attacking and supporting isn't a factor in this decision for me, since ArchMages also have a minor supporting skill(Meditation, although fairly useless for most and prob for the user). An Evan's supportive abilities are much similar in uses; restoring hp/mana(Useless for most, saves pot for user) and reviving the dead(Still kinda useless due to Wheels, but it has it's purposes. Useful for user). Don't think Imprint works for the party anymore so that's pretty much it(So useful for user), Onyx Shrouding(20% avoid,seems to be useless for classes without high avoid, although a few hits will miss.). See where I'm going?
