Please spare me all the “but pvp sucks, why do you care”.
Mages are currently in a terrible spot:
- low dmg
- long cast times, can’t even get proper damage off
- some dmg only during a frozen orb which actually has to be hitting someone
- super squishy
- high mana cost on spells (dmg spells, blink, displacement, ice barrier)
- can’t even heal in PvP because all our heals are casts which are impossible to get off
Mages would be wonderful if we could get the dmg off. Look at the STV event, there is no way to do anything. Either you go oom in 5 seconds, you get 1 shot because we are so squishy or we don’t do any dmg because A) casts are too long B) no one is standing inside frozen orb to get instant procs.
Just compare us to boomies, 3 instant spells which all hit for more than our 3 second cast spell, starfire can get down to 1.5sec cast and does 3k + dmg. Makes no sense.
Can the devs show atleast some love for mages?
