Runes of Magic US / AU

Well, do you want to every play your other side? Cause if you do, then having r/* as an option is a whole lot sweeter.

-Who will win Against Each other? (Raw Dmg)
They are both mages, but M/R is better equipped for PvP.
-Which is more Popular?
It's about the same but depends on the server.
-Which Does more Damage?
They are both mages, this is a trick question.
-Easier to Stat?
You stat all mages the same way, regardless of secondary.
-Easier to Play?
M/K is more durable which makes them more newbie friendly.
-Which one would be more Welcomed to a Raid?
They are both mages.
-Which one would be Easier to get Gear for?
They are both mages.
-Which one will work better with Warrior?
M/K/W will give you a tank alternative and a dps/offtank. M/R/W will give you heavy dps with no tankablity.
-Which one can Solo Better?
Neither of them can heal. The M/K will be able to survive more.
-WHICH ONE DO YOU RECOMEND?
I recommend you try to be more specific with your questions. If you really like them both, roll M/K/R.

As Rossbot said, triple class with M/K/R. Play both combos.

Though I disagree with Rossbot about the M/R being better at pvp. IMHO M/K is much better due to EA. Mage vs Mage the one with higher def wins.

I play as M/R and I think they could use a bit of nerfing (nothing major) and a bit of fixing. Also, having the R/? is sweet and all except R/M is full on broken.
I took my R side to 55, maybe I didn't give it a chance but in PvE the elites have worked on an easily countable level. Why worry? Cuz if I wanna spam 1 button and pretend to have no skill I just flame spam on mage side. The R/M elites look like too much fun in PvP, maybe this is why it is broken so badly. R/M is a worthless combo.

No way. First mage to get silence off wins hands down.

As M/K, I detest fighting other mages, especially M/P and M/D, for the simple fact they actually stack wisdom stats and have more mdef than me. Afterall, if you're playing M/K and you dont stack any kind of extra pdef, EA isnt that great. With my 60k pdef from EA, i can actually hold my own against a lot of rogues.

GTFO

As a M/K/R (67,58,57), I prefer M/K in both PvP and PvE. That is probably because I was M/K for like a year and a half before third classes and I'm just more use to them though. Both are very effective in both though.

+1

In Mage vs Mage... the one with the best MDefence wins. And thats not tech true. M/r can spam Cursed fangs faster then M/K can get off all of thier instants. Now, if it came down to a cast off, M/k would prolly win. But as in all mage vs mage battles of equally geared mages, its the one who Silences 1st that wins
Idk if u have all the power in the world. Silence and then discharge just b4 silence runs out gives me around 7 secs of free fire, thats about 3 cursed fangs, a fireball, Lightining for kicks, and a Kiss for the finish. Roughly. If im feeling Luck, id throw lucky chance in there to. It doesnt activate glowbal cooldown, just use the buff just b4 the duel, or combat

(Both m/r and m/k have near useless melee attacks. But for the sake of completion, M/r have demorilize to stop m/k from using theirs)

Also, Stay out of melee range. Never met a mage in Siege that didnt Spam Purge.
