Mages were HORRIBLE at launch

[Baler]

wow this thread is hot garbage

Mages can level to 50 & 60 NAKED

Early days on green there will be a massive limitation on gearing. Add to that no kunark and no velious.

Mages are super great at launch

OP just doesn't like the class. Fine I get that but don't make up bs to push fake ideas.
I understand magician isn't for everyone, they have to reply on the strongest summoned pets in the game.

Mages at launch will have the strongest starting game because they don't require gear to progress further faster.

Erudite is the best starting mage race because it has a best Int giving more mana pool and any gear you add onto that will give you a huge advantage over every other race period. People seem to forget on purpose that classic gear isn't readily available or all that great.

This isn't velious people. You aren't going to be maxxing out stats yet.
