This really isnt the case, if you're rolling a mage and want secondary heals go m/p.

If you;rerolling a mage and want to do good dps, m/w m/r m/wd seems liek your best options.

mages with defense would be m/k and m/wd.

You'll jsut hae to research the type of mage you want to play.

m/d really actually isn't useful for much tbh...everything they can do, another combo can do better...they kinda the mage jack-of-all-trades, master of none...

"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."



"Btw I was a terrible m/wd/w before you, you just went to a different server to get away from the wackadoodles like me"

Anyway, OP is obviously new enough to benefit from an overview of all the mage classes available. Man, I love you Gigi. And it's a good thing.

well then out of m/p m/d m/d is the only choice of any use

Quoted from "gigilomann"

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.

We get instant Rising Tide with the lv 30 elite, not the level 70. The level 60 elite increases RT damage.

Yeah but M/P has the exact same buff that can also be shared.. so it's a moot point.

Well, there is one benefit. If there was both a M/P and a M/D in the party, a M/D can get both its own matk buff as well as M/P's matk buff, whereas the M/P cannot get the matk buff from the M/D.

Also, imo, Outburst really shines in lower level instances (Where DPS would not matter as much anyway). In higher level instances, even with Outburst, my Flames rarely erupt anyway. In terms of endgame content, I don't think it would make a huge difference, like Fan said, a Rogue would leave both of you in the dust.

In terms of PvP, it really depends on gear and skill. Sure, M/P have Holy Aura, but it does have a 2 minute CD. I can't use it against everyone. Magma Blade doesn't have the problem of a 2 minute CD, and can be used during much more numerous encounters, often killing the opponent player before they can do anything.

I'd also like to disagree with Fanny that Gear > all. Skill does make up for quite a bit of gear. I've met people in siege who way outgear almost any one of our players who have no idea how a mage works, and all they do is spam die even if we take them on 1 vs 1.

All I'm gonna say is that I have been killed in seige by M/D way more than by M/P. PvE though, M/P is more versatile, though according to my endgame mage friend, mages are unwanted in endgame PvE.

If a M/D is running as a M/D in PvE they're already doing something wrong. Of course a Rogue would leave them in the dust. Even the strongest mage, m/w, will get beat by any other dps class in the game except perhaps Scout.

If Magma Blade is oneshotting you, that's just because their gear > your gear.

Holy Aura, Magic Barrier, Outburst, shared Matk buff, Urgent Heal > Recover, Magma Blade, self matk buff.

Of courese you could just go m/wdn and be better at everything.. but whatever.

m/wd = - the magic barrier =( so for self buffs, no mdef, but you can always get it from someone else.

I play both a m/p and a m/d. There is no comparison m/p wins hands down. M/p hits harder with fewer skills casted and if you get into an oh shit moment you can urgent heal faster then a m/d recover. You get holy aura plus immune food so you have 2 immunes every 2 minutes. With 75% crit on both my m/p and m.d my m.p elites like eruption and outburst cause me to do 10x more damage during my burn phase than m/d can. For both survivability and good burst dps m/p is the way to go in my opinion.
