Note that I'm not asking if you think they should be outDPSing other classes. I'm talking about the gap. Do you feel that the gap should be closer, and if so, by how much %?
Do you believe that the commonness of fire resistance in bosses justifies a FP mage's superior % when compared to battle mages?
I'll note that I'm only asking for personal opinions, and as such... his opinions aren't up for debate (unless he wants em to be)... so the rest of ya'll need to chill.
Resistance doesn't matter since Elemental Reset exists. Only things that could factor in are Weakness and Immunity, so in all situations except immunity, Archmages will be better than Battle Mages. I think Bishops should suck as much as possible because it's funnier that way.
To be honest, I would agree more strongly they should be a bit stronger if every Bishop didn't think they were so entitled to it. In terms of what the current numbers are, Bishops should probably be around 1500%/s since I/L top off at 2100%/s and the new Battle Mage is only 1800%/s.
I'm still hoping they do another buff to Battle Mages in the next patch since they're rather weak. I mean, who the hell thought that 1000%->1040% on Dark Shock was a big deal?
