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.

no its been same for at least 6 years, its good enough. i have enough to have 4.1k mana pool and went resists after quadding. my gear isnt your normal set for instance i wear draco shoulders when tech bis is sky. i purely raid on my mage tho i dont find groups fun on it, i play my alts then. i can make a magelo i guess sometime when not at work. Ramen is my main on blue.

Wouldn't know, green sucks. You were on blue and camped only geos.

You weren't seal team so you didn't do anything until after server died.
90% of seal team were just drones who didn't know better. They didn't get shit for helping and only served to help the 10% of neckbeards who gatekept loot through raid attendance requirements and a cryptic loot reserve system. Guild management couldn't care less about the 90%.

But yeah, I digress...

Being a Mage could probably be nice if you're a very active player and focused on making key raid plays with DA. However, wizards an also do some pulls if they wanted. I wonder if the sky neck could be used for some neat tricks.

Thanks! It's pretty good gear I think, I was curious how you were gearing and I see the focus on the resists, very nice. That makes a lot of sense. I started boosting HP over mama once I hit 4k with buffs since I am using manna robe constantly.

There is def better geared folks than me on mages, i know linksfather and maladark are both BiS. I just didnt find it necessary for what i do on a mage. i enjoy being in a pull team or moving trash away more than i enjoy the basic stuff on a mage. Im not a huge bis everything person i rather have an army of geared alts which i have.

Once you’ve filled your slots with sixteen hundred malachites what else gear is there really?
