    Recently I've been playing mage, and I seem to be getting into it. Sometimes I have a good time; sometimes I have a bad time. Anyway, I have some questions regarding how mage works.

    - How much damage does the damage spell deal?
    - What's the initial damage of the flame spell?
    - How much damage does the lightning spell deal?
    - What's the armor equivalent (enchantments and all) to another class?

    If anyone can provide anymore info that can improve my knowledge and overall skill of mage, that would be great.

    -4 hearts I think, but I'm not entirely sure.
    -I'm not sure if it does initial damage, but it does 2 hearts fire damage.
    -About 2-3 hearts?
    -Maybe about as much as medic, though I'm going by memory and my memory is terrible.

    Use all the spells. Okay, that's too broad.
    Lightning is really good, it does lots of knockback which can knock people out of reach, giving more time to shoot spells/run away. It's also really good against ninjas in most situations.

    Ninjas are a big annoyance. They sneak up on me and kill me in just three hits. I hardly have chance to do anything to them.

    The cycle of spells I use goes as follows: freeze, lightning (while they're still frozen), flame (right when they get out of the ice), then a couple damage spells. I'll heal whenever through there if I need to.

    What I usually do when capping is heal before going in the flag room, once in I thunder strike the flag post to get the Def out of the way so I can still. If they have a pyro or dwarf I will freeze them and once out I use my freeze or flame to slow the recovery down.

    Mage is a very fun class to play and a very unfun class to fight against. Good ninjas can easily beat a mage due to enderpearl tactic. Mages main weakness is assassin, but you can predict them and even go for pvp sometimes. Ive mage capped against mia before.

    In a somewhat crowded defense definitely freeze the dwarf/pyro and lightning anyone else and grab the flag, heal, flame, damage, freeze and lightning again.

    Imo, A good way to take out an assassin is to use the lightning spell. That'll kill them before they can kill you.

    Honestly I was suprised to see that none of the questions were:

    -Why does this OP as hell, firework shooting bullsh*t even exist?

    You sir havent played necro.

    Lightning is easily dodgeable with speed 2 unless in a confined space. Any good assassin can demolish a mage.

    I have. It use to be my main class before it was unfortunately nerfed. Back in the old days, necro was accused of being OP all the time.

    Actually it's speed 3.

    @TheSkullOfNight is magecapping against mia supposed to be a super-great achievement xD

    @Admiral_Memeson preach it.

    mage is actually fairly simple, just don't piss off pros and you'll survive for a while ayy

    Eh, mage capping against pro assassins is an achievement. So yes.

    I enjoy all the classes except elf and chemist

    Well, that was mcpvp, im talking about brawl. Also, dont be an S. A. about the exact speed, thats my job.

    Some thins I've noticed with mage: The instant death of assassins obviously doesn't count with lightning spell
    Lightning spell ignores a significant amount of armor
    Freeze spell pisses off cappers
    Damage spell pisses off everyone
    If your up against any class that isn't assassin or ninja (if aggro'd onto you) or a better mage you'll probably survive to have the other class run away or dead
    Just beat assassins to death with your hoe at cqb, works better 4 me
    Mage sucks against turrets

    Lightning spell helps against a horde.
    Freeze spell is a helpful recovery support
    flame spell helps in everything
    damage spell is frustrating to everyone
    healing spell is basically an instant heal unless against a heavy/ninja/dwarf
