Which is more boring? Mage vs. Wiz

[Troxx]

If you get your rocks off and find joy in watching your consistent dps output, mage is gonna be a lot more fun. I mean … compare that to a rogue where you’re really just pressing autoattack and smashing backstab as often as the situation allows?

I, for one, enjoy that aspect when playing a dps toon. As such, I never really got bored playing my mage. Even between casts you can oggle about your pet buzz-sawing more dps than most of the melee characters.

Now .. on raids? Mages are super boring. Nukes are resisted left and right and pets can cause more problems than they are worth.

So if he wins does that make him the raining champion?

Wizards are more boring than mages in that their spells are impactful and resolve quickly.

I think mage players are always welcome vs reliance on bots. Maybe not a S-tier raider, but certainly the mid-range compared to so many others and if you have enough to easily kill the target mobility makes the game less painful.

Solo it’s fraught with issues mainly due to no CC outside root and snare clickies. No surprise there.

As a +1 DPS I would rather take one for killing blue cons than most melees. In seb a focused max level 60 water will rival EC monks and some rogues without taking damage. This doesn’t include the damage shield perk, clicking a burnt wood stave/velks boots or burning the blue bar.

I’ve beaten the mage epic and some ToV geared melees on silly fights like Xenvorash and Vindi…which is rather amusing.

Personally, these days I mostly play mine for train outs and killing Phinny or any fight like Eejag. I raided it a lot prior to having a cleric.

Who knows somewhere on green, I don't think green would do it that different than riot. In the top end not the casual guilds without as much gear.

It's been a while since I've run coth engage groups, but beefy mages can coth more bodies than shitter bot mages, which can mean a faster engage depending on your strategy. Maybe on blue all the mages are beefy now, idk, but lots of people suck at cothing even after training. The poor saps who actually main mages tend to not miss a beat.

Also, wizards need very little gear to kite things with flux staff and cast TL's, which is all I do on mine.

That's true too, main mages is always better for both da and cothing , gear helps with both. However I still think DAing is the most important job a mage can do since about 2018. We use to do more like coth pulling and tank swaps.

Rip do you still gear up your mage? I'd be curious to see your magelo if you have one.
