You are a mage disguising as healer and your comments are enough to conclude you are lacking in both.
Maybe try a bruiser Gaxe skin now. Could work .
I’ve been playing LS/VG since the gun was released but I find FS/IG more fun.
No, only FS/IG damage is bad.
I love how people that are saying that mage is weak, ale prolly the same people running in heavy armor. Atm ig/vg build is one of the strongest builds in the game, that can oneshot basically everyone.
Had just yesterday a very great fight against a 0815 Musket opvp built. It was a fantastic fight.
Against greataxe. Well a good player with light armor is hard a very hard enemy with IG/FS ore FS/ IG. Thats for sure. But you can still manage it. The aoe of the mage, not sure. But well placed Pillar, Fireball and Icestorm is still badass aoe dmg. I still play the classy Mage with 3 skills in use, It works for me. i could switch burnout aganist Incinerate. But without the second escape from rapier… well. Even my IG is very classic, i need the icerain. the other builds are fun but i still need to escape^^
Flamethrower isnt a option for me, it is almost useless in Lightarmor.
Overall, i dont think mage is dead
OH and heavy Armor Mage, Lightsaber and IG is very broken btw^^
That is not true. Any mage that says the weapons are trash and cant win any 1v1s is either lying or just not as good as they think they are.
I have been dueling a lot and watching other duels and that is not my experience at all. I also follow many streams, so I have seen other point of views of capable players. Xaryu (a wow arena streamer) is a good example (great guy btw, I recommend his stream). He has been playing mage since he started New World. He struggled a little bit after the nerfs and were honestly quite angry at the changes, and I totally understand where he is coming from. However he kept using the weapons and has been dueling a lot. Now he is even coming up with new builds that he though was meme builds, but he actually makes them work. He consistently beat good players in duels. He beats a melee player with GA/WH, that he consider one of the best melee players on the server, all the time.

That is straight up not true . You mages are just man children who cry and complain when you get balanced and can’t one shot anymore.
Mages never one shot anyone. The ice gaunlet stun and broken fire staff perks were the only thing “OP” about mages.
As a bow player I call bs.
I can’t out dps a LS heals. I’ve got a video of a LS user and I trading hits and his light attack was doing more dmg % wise to me than my lights were doing to him.
My heavies and pen shots just did jack squat to his 200 con build.
When my attacks only do 1k dmg with 300 dex, it takes a whopping 12 hits to kill someone. While it only takes 3 to kill me. Idk man.

There are plenty of proofs that you are wrong on that one, and I have even experienced that myself while testing light armor in duels vs IG (post nerfs).

Please show this one shoting please.
What ? am not gonna yield to this bs anymore , i have a mage build and gear ( i dont main it ) but
before the nerf i could hit 3,5 -4k after nerf around 3k with the fireball spell thingy not to mention
the burn after that deals what more then 1k dmg , and my fire staff is around lvl 14 not even maxed out , and i see you complain here . crying man-children thats all you are . oh and its AOE dmg on top of that . if anything you need more nerfs .
This is what happens when a loud group of players start screaming for nerfs. Developers ALWAYS go to far with their nerfs. People should just keep their holes shut and learn how to deal with the weapons as they are instead of begging for nerfs because they died to it. Once the nerf door is open it absolutely never closes. So enjoy…you begged for it.
That is utterly bs. You cannot get 3k with fireball. It’s impossible. It deals 140% weapon dmg and cannot crit. A bit more if you get the perk but no way will you ever get a 3k hit with fireball.
i dont know if it can or cant crit , but last time i checked orange numbers were crits , so i guess it can crit , the fireball that fires at an arc and does a small explosion that spell . and the fire circle is decant as well 2k+ dmg plus the burn
There is a video posted in this topic already by LuLuNightstalker. I do not have any videos of my own duels.
You have obviously never played a firestaff and are a troll. The devs have even stated that fireball doesn’t not crit (whether it did before the nerf is debatable). But post nerf it is impossible to get fireball crit.
The highest damage ability for firestaff is pillar of fire which roots you, takes 1 - 2 sec cast and is the most awkward spell to aim correctly. And it is still bugged where it will instead cast at your feet instead of the targeted area.
you need freaking 400 dex and more to reach the damage a mage can do with 300 , and that just
single target . muskets cant aoe . and you wants buffs ? you can do 5-6k dmg + burn with two spells , tell me please why you need buffs?
Yep troll confirmed. You’ve never played a firestaff lol. No one is hitting 5-6k damage on firestaff except against mobs with coatings, rend and all empowerment buffs.
What two spells? Please enlighten me oh level 14 firestaff user.
I’ve mained firestaff since almost the start of the game so don’t go about spouting lies about the abilites and damage.
