How bad are mages solo in level-appropriate dungeons?
Mage is one of the few classes I've never played.
I've done Necro solo to 60, strictly charming 40-60. I've done Enc solo to 58, strictly charming 29ish - 58. Have done both of these classes solo in challenging places, ie: dungeons. Enchanter obviously had a much broader range of viable dungeons - but the Necro was really efficient in certain places. I know Mage won't stack up to either of these two, but I got the hankering to play a mage. Don't plan on pushing all the way to 60 (Unless I fall in love), but would like to log in for a few hours per week when I can squeeze time in to play. Can mage do appropriate level dungeons without waiting 5 mins between fights? I wouldn't mind burning a mana bar over 10 minutes and AFK for 5-10.. Not gonna get a manastone or anything, but maybe some other HP regen items and a FT1. Would that matter? Or not really? What do ya'll think, can a mage log in for 30 minutes, burn a mana bar killing consitently in a dungeon for 20 mins then afk for 5-10 while medding bck to full before logging again? |
in a dungeon probably not , youll need a spot where you can get singles
|
Depends on the dungeon really. Can do ok in najena, where mobs mostly come single or double. If you have a spot to kite the second mob mages do fine, after that level range your kind of delegated to soloing in outdoor zones.

Yeah outdoor zones forsure, or singles / double spots. Just get used to chain summoning pets. or Use earth root to CC.
Mage solo is worth it if you play smart. Earth pet + DS and nukes when ya need. /Pet go away in a hot key for when chain summoning $$ Don't heal pets unless it's dire, just summon another one. |

Past about Sol B dogs I can’t see it. Find single spawns or break like HK nobles with a root net and stay on top of them.
Crawling without CC or tricks is dodgy. I still love the mage and would push one to 60, just in a more boring way. |
Epic mage peak dungeon crawling is pretty much droga.
Hard pill to swallow. |
no

terri-bad

When soloing with a mage you need to remember that the one doing the work is a melee, not a caster.
In other words you need to be chain killing single mobs which are just above the lowest xp threshold. It isn’t like nec/enc/shaman where you potentially solo a room of yellows. Or so I’ve been advised. |
