Question about mages..

[Shaun]

So im leveling a mage, should I stop him at 70?

Are mages good at 70?

The only reason I ask is because I kept losing to ONE mage on my boomy, so I believe if I put enough time into a mage it can be deadly.. is that true?


Plus i'd love to hear everyones opinion on mages.

Thanks.

hehe so because you lost few duels against a mage means you have to roll one? i think you just did something wrong because a boomkin shouldn't lose to a mage. enough of that, mages has the best cc in the bracket, can kill anything in deep/cs but gets oneshotted by almost anything. so if you are a rager i wouldn't play it. thats why i played boomkin, because i never lost xd

Well the losing to one made me notice that they are viable because I have yet to meet a good one.

But Ive always liked the mage playstyle and when im playing boomy I think my biggest problem Is getting cast off vs mages.. I always feel cc'd and always on the defensive side

Mages are good but as jicz said, can get blown up really fast. Youll have a hard time against hunters and rogues mostly.

can kill anything in deep/cs but gets oneshotted by almost anything

this applies to literally every level of mage, besides 90. so if ur rolling mage as a twink, thats what ur getting

Yeah everything is fine , The current state of 70 bracket is not fine though -.-. (maybe should call it 72 bracket)

Yea sounds fucking shit, though its nice they added a new class to the bracket, The 'Nifflevar bearded axe' sounds like a really balanced and well though out class with 3 very well thought out and balanced speccs; Warrior/Pally/DK, tell me which spec is most OP ?

unless you have a killer talents at 74, imo right now in the 70-74 bracket it is best to be at 71 or 72. 74's get no gear +scaling bonuses like 70-73's get

71's have second highest gear scaling (after a 70), but get full value on their gems. 159 gear scales to around 171 item level. nif axe (226) on a level-71 in a BG scale to a 238-item level

72's some classes/specs get a good talent at this level, 159 gear scales....drops to 167 (same at 73).
