My interest died when I saw dark genesis has 1min cooldown

Ya, my interest died when I saw they hit like freshly fluffed pillows....

My interest died when I saw it attacked like Arans except less cooler and more tediously.

Do I need to remind you that we say that EVERY SINGLE CLASS is weak when they are testing it?

So stop complaining k? Also, arnt they a supporting class?

That's the thing. They shouldn't have named it Battle Mage when it's a supporting class. Nexon is stupid. lol

Even if they end up being rather weak they'll fit the category of "Bossing Magician" much better then Evan.

Even if they turn out to be really weak (and at the rate it's going, it seems like they will be unless some pretty big changes happen), they still bring more damage to the party than any other class just because of the Dark Aura.

The equips in the level 49 vid are kinda terribad. If you cared to look at all in the beginning of the video when it was shown. -_-;;

Note the last hit does tops 3k damage? My Aran at level 62 does around 3k damage the last hit I think iono haven't played him in a while. Although his first 2 hits do do more damage and combo smash does 10k+ easily.. still, 3k the last hit w/o BoF or anything but the equips he has on?

Even with good equips, the final 1v1 move will not deal that much damage. with 670 base power @ skeles my bishop hits 90k's on average, at 170. Thats by no means impressive, even with GMS equips, of course speed will obviously play a factor here, but currently it wont do much for their dps in comparison to other classes, maybe good compared to Magician classes, but will fail in comparison to most, if not all weapon classes. Especially if we consider apples in the comparison, and if this class isn't affected by Thorns, I can see Evans out-damaging them in 1v1, with the way the skill works and the magic formula; they are screwed even more when we bring more powerful pots such as apples or cheeses.

I imagine they'll buff these skills quite a bit later on. After all, fully leveled Quad does like 2 48s in the middle and that's just pitiful.

Of course this class is affected by thorns. o.o You can't really blame them for alleged "low 1v1 DPS" when the have pretty much all of the best buffs in the entire game. :/

They have no inherent crit, so unless there actually is a beginner crit skill and they do get it they should be affecter by thorns I think? I might've gotten my info wrong though, not too sure about who can/can't be affected by thorns.

Oh, I'm not blaming them, I just doubt they'll be powerful. The buffs and the fact that its a magician is more then enough to get me on my toes for this class. Much more of a "Bossing" magician then Evans will ever be at this rate.

and I'm wondering about Thorns because of that beginner skill thats been listed on Insoya.

The beginner skill isn't available in game yet. I would guess the only way to get it would be through quests because otherwise you won't really have a choice on what to max in the beginner job...

I don't think we can call a battlemage strong by comparing it with your aran lol....

Seriously, this battlemage is gonna need some buffs if Nexon really expects them to use their melee attacks in training. 70 damage at lvl 4x? Good lord, you can hit harder at lvl 13 =/ Their concept sounds fun though

Consider dark aura later.

The whole combo does a ton of damage though. You can't deny that ohkoing mobs of monsters that are way over your level is really strong...and we're only talking about 2nd job.

Lets also consier that the final combo and later upgrades to this skill may make the other hits stronger

Any news on how damage distribution works? Sounds like it'll be awful.

Distribution for blue aura?
