Runes of Magic US / AU

Mage/Warden or mage/rogue.

Mage/Druid is a killer in Seige because of the long range and hitting power of Magma Blade.
Mage/Priest has some pretty good buffs for long drawn out PvE fights.

I think Mage/Priest has the better DPS than the Mage/Druide because of his lvl 25 Elite-Skill 'Outburst', this skill increases the chance of dealing additional damage with Flame and Fireball.

Depending on how long the bossfight is there are further Mage/* combinations to consider like Mage/Scout and Mage/Warrior, which both have elite-skill increasing casting speed.

out of m/d and m/p, m/p is superior pve, while m/d is superior pvp..

Out of ONLY m/p and m/d m/p > m/d in PVE. both are good classes in pvp. m/p gets with 70 elite an isntant rising tide and holy aura. as to where m/d gets more range with magma (haxma) blade. Also both can heal with their sub classes.

yeah in pvp and pve m/p beats m/d.

Mage/Druid might have magma blade.. but that's about all they have really. M/P has holy aura, mdef, an extra instant that can proc eruption, a skill that increases the amount of time eruption occurs, and the same matk buff M/D has that can also be cast on other people. Also a better heal than M/D because it's faster.

M/P is also much better in PvE, though there are many classes that are superior to it. Because of Outburst, it'll beat out a M/D for sure, though it won't get close to the better mage combos for PvE.

Overall, M/P is a better combo than M/D, but M/wd is better than both of them in every aspect.

I have out DPSd a better geared M/P . All those skills the M/P have don't mean :shit: , if you don't know what to hit next.

On the other hand ,I've been out DPSd by a skilled M/P . If you can play the class well , you will get good DPS.

It's not really about skill.. it's about who has the best buffs to their flame during the 30 second bossfight. And that easily goes to M/P over M/D because of Outburst.

The buff may not be sharable but mage druid has Perception which when lvl'd can be really buff up ur magic and as half a druid for sw someone tries to smash a gate use catalysis and cast buffs switch to heal gear and ur a uber healer and besides elves arnt as ugly as humans aaaaaaaaaaaaaand a druid mage has a shield that can be shared on three people and if u cant break it its redy to use again when it''s wornt off so its good for pve on druid side also

Yeah but M/P has the exact same buff that can also be shared.. so it's a moot point. It's not a plus towards m/d in any way. Also, since two urgents = a recover heal basically M/P can do exactly the same thing to heal a gate that a M/D can, so again, not a plus towards M/D over M/P. Though really if you need to heal a gate so bad that your guilds healers can't handle it, you were probably going to lose anyway.

If we're talking offclasses, which we weren't, then a P/M has utility skills that are just as useful as any D/M. Not that anyone in their right mind would ever play P/M OR D/M in PvE as a main healer, as they both suck at healing.

weeeell elve's arnt ugly so the druid wins

weeeell elve's arnt ugly so the druid wins :p

If you find giant bat ears that are bigger than your head attractive..

not only attractive, they downright sexy

Quoted from "Borella"

yeah in pvp and pve m/p beats m/d.

Mage/Druid might have magma blade.. but that's about all they have really. M/P has holy aura, mdef, an extra instant that can proc eruption, a skill that increases the amount of time eruption occurs, and the same matk buff M/D has that can also be cast on other people. Also a better heal than M/D because it's faster.

M/P is also much better in PvE, though there are many classes that are superior to it. Because of Outburst, it'll beat out a M/D for sure, though it won't get close to the better mage combos for PvE.

Overall, M/P is a better combo than M/D, but M/wd is better than both of them in every aspect.

I would disagree with just a teeny bit of that.

M/Wd is superior to m/p in pvp in range. As you noticed when we were playing around dueling, in close combat, m/p's immune becomes really powerful, as does the mdef buff. I haaate that mdef buff.

Honestly, in pvp, any mage can be deadly. M/wd and m/d get to cheat by standing at the other team's castle and killing you at your gate, and m/wd becomes a walking WMD every two minutes but besides that, all mages are just good at pvp. M/p's essence of magic, the mdef buff and the gorram annoying immune and self-heals all add up to good fun in pvp. But skill > skills in pvp, in my experience anyway. And gear > all.

In PvE, I would argue that it's more situational than you think Bo. In a guild with insanely skilled and geared physical dps, any mage is going to look godawful, but m/wd will look the best- they have the insane 4 second nuke. In a guild that doesn't burn bosses in seconds, m/p will kick m/wd's arse and m/w would blow them both out of the water. M/d... is just sad sad sad in pve. I would label m/d as "do not attempt" in pve. To be completely honest, these days, I would label ALL mages as "do not attempt" in pve, sadly. However, if you MUST be mage in pve, please go m/w. At least then you can do decent burn and almost kinda-sorta sustained dps- and swap to w/m when you consider quitting the game in frustration.

Every other mage class may as well die as soon as their buffs run out- they're done dpsing. Sad, but it's true.

To answer OP's question: neither. M/wd/w or bust. UNLESS you want to solo content, then m/p is the clear winner.

I think you're a little off topic. He said out of "m/d and m/p"

you keep talking about m/wd as if they mention that in the OP. between m/d and m/p the clear winner would be m/p.

BTw i was m/wd/w before you, you jsut went to a different server to become one #fotmc.
