please make a huge improve to the crap mages class (1- "No Buff" my lvl 25 rogue has 2 times buff of my lvl 50 mage do you think guys its fair?) (2- No defense this part should be ok if you make a huge improve in the other 2 points) (3- The slowest sklill i ever seen- this part is very important because leave mages in completly disadvantage vs rogue/warrior/cleric when i try to cast my first or second fireball im dead by the hand of a rogue or any other class even archer are far more stronger than mages) im quitting just hopw you do this improvement that in my point of view its a huge mistake that had to be fixed before launched of thes game

If you're talking solely PvP, I can't really advise you. I quit around high L40's because everyone in Rank 8 gear or whatever was practically 1 shotting me and it was a joke. But previously I was destroying just about everyone using necro/warlock/chloro. Use chloro for the 19% dmg buff using charge, and Soul Purge. Heals you for a ton and does nice damage. Warlock helps build charge quick, and the opportunity procs help you cast Withering Vines instantly, which is also a nice heal (and DoT).

As far as PvE goes, there are many decent builds. I recently made a support heal role that does 800-1200 DPS and around 300 HPS. I won't say what it is because I'm afraid it will be nerfed (nobody seems to be aware of it..). But that's just an example of how there are a lot of good builds if you take the time to study what each soul can do, and what synergy you can get between them AND with certain items/equipment.

And 0 that PvP in their own game.
