All Give reasons for why u preferred mages & why u not....?? ;)

ur reason must be genuine...as it help Noob(Pls Dont mind ) for deciding the char which they want to make.

Also if u want to prove it by using Screenie pls do it....


ALL MUST REPLY

I m taking the Initiative

i like mage as it helps in Wzing & hunting

becoz it kills its surrounding using SB wid the highest damage in all aerial Skills

Mages r good for hunting, fastest leveling, leeching and in running here nd there ie sede.
But i like to go for wars nd mages r good but not best for wars.
But yeah if i dnt have to go for war then i will surely choose mage due to its awesome capabilities.

I like mage, but way too many mages on server so i decided to play warrior this time round.

Imba replies.....But all player should reply....including GMS..

Hmm

Pro's
- SB - Highest damage for a single hit. Perfect class to kill mobs.
- Sed - Excellent manueverability. Perfect class to find bosses and pan to bring all party members to that spot. Plus these guys practically win NC wars by killing mobs =P.
- HP Absorber - Takes a big chunk off received damage. 'nuff said.
- Free Will - Dispel effects. Nothing more to say about that either
- Long ranged skills such as Fury and Stigma

Con's
- Mediocre HP bar
- Heavily reliant on MP
- Sb takes both MP AND HP. Sedd'ing swallows MP like an effing cow..
- Does reasonable melee damage only in aura levels. And that too, lesser than other classes.
- Gets raped by HK's (like other classes, but w/e)
- Too many of them =X
- Has to deal with 100's of whiners who beg for parties.
- From what I've seen, gets beaten by equally equipped lower RB'd other classes.

Essentially, a mage is suited for hunting, collecting cash, and generally, making life easier. In PVP, they are the underdogs. Their primary skill SB, takes a pile out of HP AND MP. However, if mages get equipped with a Redyan Necklace AND a lartek, then they become a pain to kill.

This is just spontaneous thought. There will probably be mistakes or emissions here.

I cannot give anymore reasons after what Demented posted !!
However I am just elaborating it a little !!
Mages may suck in PvP..But if you are a peace loving guy and avoid PKing,then Mage is the character best for you !!
However Mages also rock in PvP if they put their stats for PvP mode and if they have RN and Iarrtek !!
Morever a Mage with RN and G9 Elemental Unique will get around 300 more damage because RN=45 elemental attack each and G9 Uni Ele Staff=Around 60 elemental attack each(Not sure of this),so the total elemental attack results in 45*3+60*3=315 elemental attack !!
Now G9 Int Staff increases elemental attributes by 100%,therefore total elemental attack = 315*2=630,with critical hits,the elemental attack will become 1260....Now 1260 damage does make a difference !!
Now the main thing which comes to the mind is gameplay,Well you definitely need gameplay to PvP,since your Bossing(HP Absorber and SB) and Leeching(Sed,Pan,SB) are solved with IMHO Damage !!
If you lack in gameplay you can even lose with a RB15 HK with BOR,if you don't you can win the day with a noob mage also !!
Still given a chance,I would have definitely picked an Archer if I knew about Episode 5 Skills earlier coz their Wide Darts is IMBA and with the 255 lvl Super Shue and decent boots,they will have 100% Critical rate and along with a Grahsat,they will become Godlike in maps,as I said before I do not like PKing,so please do not make comments like Warriors rock or HK's rock !!
I know I made a BIG Post,but that is what I think and I prefer to get my facts cleared !!
Regards,

A HK with a dex and decent gameplay can beat just about all classes.. Mages just can't take the constant heal/hit combo. As a matter of fact, I doubt any class can take it. I'm assuming we'r talking about equal equips, i.e RN for the HK also

Well HKs are built for PvP..So you simply cannot take a HK down if a HK can the same or even a lil less gameplay than the Mage..taking into the fact that both have equal equips !!
However Mages have a little advantage over HKs on the fact that Mages can Level a lot faster than HKs and can mob a huge number of bosses and kill them...on last count..I mobbed some 12 denenherr bosses and killed them and had to even leave 2 G7 drops just coz I din't have a place in my inventory !!
I would have loved to mob more...But I got bored of mobbing and simply started SBing !!
How I wish I had an Iarrtek and Redyan Necklace !!
Regards,

u have to decide how to take the charecter built!!

support or aggro

Mages are capable of both...so are hks...

but archers and warriors arent support chars...they are complete aggro...they have to take in that damage nevertheless

archers are better in fact...they can play support to an extent but its far far easier for mages and hks...

mages while pvping wid warriors can kill them without using even a single hp pot but..

but...once they decide to tank a warrior its a grave mistake..

mages have pro's and cons like every other char...what matters it how u decide to handle them!!

because mages are all rounders... they can hunt on thr own... also can support other players in lvlin up... bossin... pk etc.... in short mages r always in demand

I didnt choose a mage b'coz I had an hk on other server, tho I cr8ed a mage l8r

and the main reason not to choose a mage in the first server was b'coz the guy with whom I had started this game had already cr8ed a mage, and so I chose another class.

tho both reasons lack logic, they r d real reasons of y nt choosing mage

I like mage coz they are "ALL ROUND"er
