Same with AoW, i've finished an AoW fight with 60% mana because of beautiful mages.

Mages are vital to success on p99 for some encounters, dont count them out!


You're not wrong. Same goes for necros. Their mana abilities (rods, twitch) are absolutely vital to raid performance and longevity. And it's boring as sin. That's exactly why they're not more popular. It's a thankless and tedious job. All the tools at your disposal and you're relegated to the role of glorified vending machine.

Don't get me wrong. I love this game. We wouldn't be here if we didn't, right? But Verant kinda fucked casters when it comes to raiding roles and duties.
