Mages, I have no idea anymore.

Then explain how the hell everytime any R40 warrior I know gets squirreled he gets blown back to Tatooine in under 20 seconds ?

Using your CC in a AOE fest is useless, you have rogues using Gas bomb, Warrior spamming Fear and other classes snaring, dimishing returns are already full on. Yeah it's broken, but it's for everyone not just you. Everytime I try to slow someone down to bash his skull in I get the "Immune" message.

Seriously you can't expect to be No1 in PVE healing, PVE Damage and PVP Killing. Warriors have been best at 1v1 situations for ages, we can't heal in PVP, can't tank in PVP, and need to close 35m to get to you throught a myriad of other CC and Alt-Tabbing enemies, same goes for melee rogue [except they can be sneaky **** and stab you in the kidney]. Also kiting, it's not because you are not a rogue that you can't kite. Jesus I know a Chrolo/Dom I can't beat simply because she kites like a rogue [Well she did play one, and a hunter before in WOw so it explains.] Kiting a warrior, snaring him for a minimum of 3 seconds, PURGING HIM.

Jesus purging too seems to be some people in Rift forgot. You see a Planar Blade ? Purge it
I took up a VK spec just to keep purging.

So no, mages are not borked, they do what they need to do, you just don't adapt to the battlefield, and it is the biggest mistake of all.


Wait what did I rant ?

Seriously you can't expect to be No1 in PVE healing,

Start PvPing

All i go from this thread was...

- OP is QQing about his PvP mage... possibly L2P issue.
- Everyone complains about rogue DPS in PvP
- Everyone complains about cleric healing in PvP
- Everyone laughs at warriors in PvP

that about right?
good for a giggle.

L2 build souls
L2 play
and get rank 40...mage = win

warriors arnt too bad in pvp IMO but yea they have flaws lol

[Sergeantkeys]

Oh right, because mages are No1 at all those things.

At least I know it's not the Pvp killing thing.

Brb splitting a mage in half.

The only major flaw you have in a warrior is the player [I'm the best example of this, I suck so bad you'd try to put me down for pity]

[Aguni]

You're jumping back and forth in your statement alot sergeant.

Hoenstly rogues have more mitigation than mages? What do u expect we have a tank soul of course we have more mitigation. To be 100% honest if u cant out rage dps a rogue than your doing somthing worng, so my advice is learn to play before you QQ.

Oh and this game is mostly PVE based and atm mages are the best single target dps, they are almost always the best AoE heals, at least if u have a good chloro and once u have the 4 set hk crystal they are amazing tank heals aswell. Please consider that there is a PVE side to the game.

A marksman has 5 meters of range advantage on a mage.
If a marskman can't out range dps a mage 98% of the time the marksman needs to uninstall.

PvE and PvP are two very separate things, so I don't see why that matters here?
A PvP'r should be punished because he doesn't like to PvE but he wanted to roll mage? Makes sense.

As for healing, your healers are only as good as the person behind the keyboard. Some specs are "better" for some situations, but no healing class can be considered the "best" Sicaron favors mages, cool, You know how annoying it is healing grug's tower phase as a mage?

Healing is like tanking at the moment, it might not have the potential of some other specs, but it's good enough to complete the content out there. My buddy ran 51 warlord vs. Sicaron in his pug/alt run, his reasoning? "Becuase I can"

tl;dr STOP BLAMING THE CLASS, IT'S PROBABLY YOUR FAULT ANYWAY.
