You get out of what you put into something, mages are harder to train then other classes, thus, should be better at arch.

Good point.

Each class is a give and take. Some classes seem to perform better against others. Mages seem to be slightly weak against the whole thief's assassinate. But they can stand against fighters pretty good. A lucky shot off a zerker's smite will do in a mage. It's all a give and take, so no, I don't think a mage is over powered. I think they used to be underpowered, but they did a good job at making an arch mage worth having now. But anyway, that's just my two cents.

Give back Devestate and they might be a bit overpowered but you'd have to wait and see for sure.

incorrect mages = expensive to train not hard

pallies ARE harder and druids are damn close to being pretty hard

My paladin was a whole lot harder to train than Squee. A whole lot.

i posted no purely because of the fact that they are so goddam hard to train. when they are arch they absolutly rock but getting to arch seems to take forever

If the Mage spell dispell was adjusted to include terminating cleric spells, then I'ld answer that they're good enough at arch, (spell wise anyways).

Druids are pretty easy after level 25, tho pallies i agree are hard.

Hehe druids aren't too hard up to lvl 25 either, just go up into swamp with a cleric and kill stuff

And what's hard about pallys? Surely you just go and heal stuff...level up faster than a mage that way easily

*agreed*

I don't really see how pally's are that hard to train... Healing? I guess maybe if you weren't healing to train it might be harder, but why would you do that if you have a decent healing spell?

[rebel_blaidd]

i dont even think mages are "good" i dont think ive even been pked once by one they need more spells for them to be appealing theres too much training for little profit for them they need some inbetween spells

[Lampshade]

I thought Rangers where the hardest class to train 1 - 23.... Mages are not that hard to train.. just group em with a secondn mage and they lvl quicker than you think. and Druids.. Hard to train?> stick a torch on em morph and hit hydra's
or
go south of bt and stormwraith warthog's and brown/black bears.. and even Vampire Bat s and Demonic Soldiers...

[Monolith]

I'd say Mages are a good class. Just recently got Transition to 25 and his spell damage improved into the 80s nearly. (Depending on what I hit)

What makes them good is that there spells ignore armor, and they rarely fizzle. Plus their Armor spells are pretty good as well. But if a zerk was given enough time, it could easily click a mage. Every class has their strengths and weaknesses, but I think the mage is a pretty good class. There is my two cents.
