Mages in General

[DrthCaedus]

idk why people keep saying mages are under powered spcially since the addition of new hereos its even more evident how powerful they are,just today some players replaced there mages with maria and they were barely doing any damage to,e compared to what they were doing with the mage on. Yes they are not hard hitters in the game like adamanti or bloddstrom but they are useful in the overall damage you deal. It just depends on how you use them smoulder can mostly kill a hero in about 4 or so rounds if all his hits land which is pretty good imo as you don't have to wait for the tanks to die first it does the damage directly. Even the devs decreased the stun rates for shayd and obviously they know more than us about the game as i have said several times if mages become hard hitter as some people want everyone will then start using an all mage formation.

Can I ask what is wrong with an all mage formation? As it is people already use all physical formations? Why is the thought of the reverse such a bad thought? You are kind of waging an oxymoronic in your arguments here. You continue to state that mages are only intended as support and back-up and we should only use perhaps 1 or 2 in our formation. This argument shows how underpowered and undervalued the class is by Tynon, but then you go on about how they are more than powerful enough to be effective. If this were the case there would be several all mage formations. The problem is that mages are grossly underpowered when compared with physical heroes, and I would dare you to mount a logical, evidenced based argument to the contrary.

*grins* Lamodomo. As Kruize pointed out, you did mention it before.
I do think you are right when you say the mages are underpowered or better yet unbalanced in the game at the moment.
But in all fairness a pack of mages would need some tanks to keep them alive in my opinion.
As far as I have experienced in other games, they always have issues staying alive against the muscles.
With tanks in there, it comes down to formation and stuns, but at this moment Ada is too overpowered to make it work.
I appreciate your crusade, but perhaps it is better for your own piece of mind and enjoyment in the game to try other setups.

don't worry, my main leader is actually a tank. that relies also in crit.

I got mulan already.

What I want the dev is to consider, is change the hit rate of mages. They are just astronomical random hitters. All I could about her not is so-so damage but enough to survive 3 - 4 round I guess its reasonable since she's hitting 3 targets. My other mages catherine and Mehdivan deal more damage compare to her, 10k - 13k difference.

right now Mulan is the most decent mage there is. I haven't got Brynhldr and Aphridite so I wouldn't know.

Yea but mulan hits multiple target so his overall damage would be more than catherine and all right ?

There is nothing wrong in an all mage formation but when it doesn't work out for them late game they shouldn't complain in the forums about it. i said mages are a decent hero and should be used in your formation but i never said they are powerfull enough to match the skill attacks of some heroes that you start using an all mage formation. I don't know why you are so confused my point has always been the same mage class is good enough to add 1 or 2 on your formation if you don't think so then use support class and stop quoting me.
