EU+US Is Mage at lvl 20 f2p/vetted really broken in BGs?

[Dpook]

Fellow lvl 20 mages,

Are yall getting the same results with your mage in recent BG pugs ? Post on thread if so?

I love my mage haters Bring the noob insults...

Best,

Gankbino!

 

[ohti]

they were already one of if not the highest dps output spec in the bracket
then they got the 8% buff so yeah

 

[zazzyfraz]

Yes but it’s ok

A mage isnt broken.

Half a team of mages is broken.

Common knowledge

I find hunters to be just as effective. I usually see hunters on the top of the charts rather than mages. But mages are up there.

I don't understand why anyone would complain though... all the classes are not supposed to be able to do the same amount of damage. Damage is not the only thing that is contributed to a team. It's just the most visible.

You haven't known frustration until you've tried to heal through 5 arcane mages. There's not enough haste in the world to prepare you for that.

Try being the warrior trying to get through those 5 mages.

Blech.

but the feeling when 2 healers heal thru some mages and survive makes it worth it

Am I reading that right, that a balance druid did 102,000 damage?

yea there was an epic battle at the lumber mill at the start that lasted like 10 minutes with no team capping the base until we did, probably had like 10 moonfires and sunfires going at once for about 10 minutes straight

This.

I guess the most broken thing is the fact that Arcane Missiles can be used to bypass LoS and to deal damage beyond the range of 40 yards.

So, the Mage role is of a sticky high sustain DPS glasscannon and very easy to gear.

Hunter have the high skill ceiling and gear ceiling with pets, plus some survivability and one-shot potential.

I guess Druids have the nice ability to always stay at the back of a teamfight and easily flee (plus the heals and AoE Dotting).

Blink breaking stun every 15 sec is very overlooked, rets and rogues are usually easier on my mage than my boomkin. You can FC as a mage if there’s no druids or shaman because of this

 

[Kracks]

On my druid I usually just dot kite and heal vs mages until I have a star surge. It’s pretty easy

I thought that was just was druids did in general

If u want to reduce the burst dmg of arcaness u run away from them. U can do this on any class not just druid

 

[Htag]

Arcan mage is broken when it is "well played" (Make good moves, good sheeps, focus on the right targets and keep a constant pressure. ), as every class. A very good hunter, Rshaman, Rdrood, Boomie, Dpriest can carry an entire game.

40 Kills with 53k damage, you just kill levelers 1.1k hp. Don't forget that.
