For mages you try to reach a threshold of offense to make up for your low defense. Though since the resist changes long ago, its really difficult to do so.

1H + shield is so popular because of good offense and the best defense.


But for high level guys (400+), going mage is the only thing to do, the time spent to clear all the battles is like 4x faster than a melee warrior, reducing the tedious and tiring process of killing stuff one by one, game time irl also reduced => profit.

Before 400 melee is very good indeed.

Sure it's faster, but 4x is overestimated.
My guess is around 1.5/2x faster against SGs and 2x/3x faster against normal enemies.

yup , from my own experience ~ 2.x faster for normal arenas/IW and GF to me compare with 1H (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

hey, what's the problem? do you follow only the ideals of people that you can personally meet everyday? i'm pretty sure that if you randomly say "mages are gay" someone will answer "where's Scorpio?" (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If "breached defense" work properly, I guess Holy is the best.
I would say Holy > Wind > Ice > Thunder > Dark > Fire based on the status effects, but I didn't think much to get this order.
I also like Holy for MP Drain for casual fights where you want to end the battle with full mp without wasting items.

It's up to debate which is the best defensive proc.
It was briefly discussed here.
At least it should be Ice > Wind, no idea how Dark and Fire 10% damage reduction fit in (Void never reported back).
For offensive procs Holy > Elec.
But procs are only a part of mage effectiveness.

It doesn't really work like that.
MP Drain on normal mobs is the most useless thing ever.
It's pretty good against SGs though.

I use fire spike (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)


20% damage reduction is good ( fire + my dark proc ) (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


wind spike isn't that good from my personal data in GF (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

fire is better at least for me (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
