    Default So will mages become the new FOTM come new Souls?

    I remember when Rogues went through a resurgence last year. Everyone and their brother were creating rogues.

    So will the squishy mages finally get some respect and have the same comeback as rogues when the new Soul(s) is/are released?

    Speculate away...

    Probably not, since every calling is getting a soul. I'm sure people have some alts they'll probably play on for a bit to toy with and I'm sure some people are already planning on rerolling to a different character too. If you wanted to switch mains, it would have a low impact when SL hits.

    will people re-roll? not likely en mass, but I'm sure many will flock to their alts to test all the new souls.

    game has changed a lot since 1.5, there's a lot more grinding necessary to get an alt or new main up to par with one's main.

    some will definitely reroll or pick up old alts to try the new mage soul

    but that will happen with the new rogue soul too, and the new cleric soul, and the new warrior soul

    people will be switching around and trying things for a while, and eventually they will settle, either theyll have played the new souls and go back to their main, or theyll find a new main

    will more people to go the mage soul than any other? i dont know, if the mage soul is awesome and the others are terrible probably, but chances are itll be the same distribution it is now

    Rogues have always been the most common class.

    I don't see why. Whether the soul is melee dps or tank, every other class can do that already, so it's not exactly new.

    The new soul is Rainbowmancer. It summons unicorns and fires peace and love bolts in a 2-button rotation for the highest single target DPS in the game, placating all the people that hate staring at cooldown mods.

    This is why I mainly play mage.

    Although stealth cleric would bring back some serious DAoC memories.
    7 scouts and a minstrel, all hanging out stealthed waiting to gank folks. Would make stealth rogues even more deadly if they had stealth pocket heals.

    I for one am still hoping for mage tank, or seriously something no one has ever done before. If it's a monk style, melee healing class...I may cry.

    1) When information regarding the new Mage Soul is released to the public the other 3 classes will all band together to claim that Mages are OP.

    2) A short time later, information on the new Soul for another class will be released and the two remaining classes whose new Soul information has not been released will complain about how they are being completely ignored while obvious favoritism is being shown to the first two classes.

    3) A short time after that, information on the new Soul for a third class will be released and the sole remaining Class will claim this is proof as how OP all other classes are in the game compared to their own.

    4) A short time after that, the public will receive information on the final new Soul and Mages will complain about how unbalanced the new Souls are and that the new Souls the other classes got are much better than theirs.

    5) A short time after that, information regarding tweaks made to the Mage Soul will be released.
    Return to step 1.

    FOTM for a week, then the next class whose soul is revealed will be fotm. For a week.

    Perhaps it should be FOTW.

    My sources are reputable.
