no, we won't be outdamaged. We would be bursting 30k+ total AOE damage within 12 seconds, besides I would assume they'll have reforges for instant casting to extend its duration / reduce cooldown lol.
doesnt even give mages an advantage in pvp with the whole fighter bandwagon, so why cant mages have ONE thing
pvp will NEVER be balanced on Mabinogi.
on top of that even how the formula is now, end game warriors can do more dmg in the time it takes for 1 charge of thunder than thunder itself does
Yeah and with the new update, mages will be able to burst thunder with instant casting. Not to mention that its an aoe skill so naturally it'll be weaker than smash.
then look at end game puppeteers, their dmg out put is even higher than that, and their attacks are physical, so they are useful all the time, rather than some of the time. How about gunners? end game their dps is insane, then add in frenzy, and 5r guns,
Except puppeteer and gunners were built to be end-game. They take two stats values for max damage, and then add in their skills and their capabilities.
This is a buff I rather have for mages, I prefer burst damage so I don't know why mage has to be a DPS class.
