Idea Mage Rework Idea

Seems about time this cancerous class got some more attention for rework.


Current mage stuff as observed in game:

Damage spell - 4.5 hearts (to ninja), 0.5 hearts (to heavy) /Just to put that into perspective, mage's damage spell actually does more damage than a heavy hit/ ; 1 second cd {Damage spell travels ~18 blocks}

Fire spell - 3 hearts + 1.5 hearts fire damage (to ninja), 1 heart + 1.5 hearts fire damage (to heavy) ; 3 second cd

Lightning - 3 hearts (to ninja and heavy) ; 5 second cd {Travels ~10 blocks}

Regen - Lasts 4-5 seconds. Has 7 second cd and can heal through 3 ninja hits (effectively takes 5 consecutive ninja hits to kill a mage)


At the minute mage is just a spamming class which can regenerate its abilities faster than it can be killed plus it's a ranged class with no mobility hinders (such as the slowness of pulling a bow that pyro and archer suffer from), so actually reaching the mage while it's holding s and right click is near impossible without mobility classes such as ninja or assassin.



Proposed Rework:
Aims to make mage a support class


Armour - Same as current mage


Items - Diamond hoe, Wooden hoe, Stone hoe, Iron hoe, Golden hoe



Diamond Hoe / Damage Spell - Same as current mage except deals 3 hearts of damage with a 2 second cooldown. Spell projectile travels 8 blocks.
Wooden Hoe / Fire Spell - Exactly the same as current mage
Stone Hoe / Lightning Spell - Hitting the lightning spell roots target for 2 seconds (unable to move but can still attack). Has 7 second cooldown
Iron Hoe / Blink Spell - Teleports mage 12 blocks in the direction it's facing. Has 7 second cooldown
Golden Hoe / Heal Spell - Heals 5 hearts in a 4x4x4 AoE. Has 10 second cooldown

 

Was thinking just stun. Anyways this post was meant to encourage more ideas to come forward about a better mage than what we have atm
