The gameplay for mages at end game.

Consists of nothing but impact+finale in the later stages of the game. You litterally need no other skill other than impact, finale, mp charge and maximizer with 2k mp.

Once you have that, that's it. Mages have no way to boost spell power, they have no defensive ability like self heal, barrier or teleport.

Tho the damage of finale is nice, playing as a mage has no diversity to it no matter how you build it.

Hopefully this changes when they rebalance skills.

 

Well... There are new magic classes planned.

Minstrel and necromancer, but whether they will be T2 classes or open to all... It'll be greatly anticipated

 

I hope so because the magic skill set is basically a one trick pony.

 

It will depends on what devs planning on the future. We all know most/all weapon trees are at it's max tier right now. We dunno if they're planning to realease a continuation of those skill trees or realease a specialization job/roles that will greatly affects the playstyle. That's how Iruna was before. They released a special class path for each weapon wielder

 

They don't have to add more skills, they have to change them.
Eg: Chain cast. It's useless as hell because arrows animation time is long and has a cast time to stack on top of it. Couple it with the fact that it disappears next magic skill makes it impossible to use with impact . The devs could make it so that each magic skill used reduces cast time by (skill level * 0.01) seconds and Max stack at 10 but is non-refreshable.
This way, you don't waste time casting arrows killing magic proration in the process and possibly extending the combo time.

 

What does T2 mean?

 

I'm not sure but I love chain cast and my support relying on it for my magic combo. Maybe youre right it's useless for DPS but we also need to consider the skill's existence not only for 1 class/build alone. Not because a class or a build can't make use of the said skills, it doesn't means it's bad in general.
Maybe the cast time reduction will greatly improved by the minstrel skills let's wait. Coz in Iruna their buffs made mages cast crazy fast skills that I had a feeling speed hacker modders got their values when that job was released to attain godspeed casting time

 

It works for support because support is team play so no need to worry about boss attack, I'm more of a soloist

If what you said about minstrel is true, that's going to be interesting.

 

Mage still dont have float yet.....
There only bombing (nuk3)(finale
No carpet bombing (hidrobom) hiroshima and nagasaki typr yet (multiple flying mage )

 

Would love to see the drain skill from Iruna make an appearance, and would love to have the whole tree reworked to have so that there are multiple viable DPS skills besides finale.

 

Oh BK. Is a youtuber in iruna? I didn't know that till I saw a mini BK. face near the video So cool x3
