Idea Mage

I actually agree. Mage is quite the spammy class, but (!) it has no mobility. If a mage gets caught out by say a Ninja, the Mage is going to die unless he can react quickly enough.

 

Nerf mage threads start popping up the day I come back. LOL.
Seriously though, mage needs no nerf. It's already difficult to get kills with due to reduced damage on the damage spell.

 

We don't remove classes, firstly. Secondly, while some tweaks to mage wouldn't hurt, a total nerf isn't good for any class. It ruins gameplay completely. Not everyone likes playing a certain class, but those that do play mage won't be fond of a huge nerf.

 

I was going to say that... Anywho, I do agree that Mage needs a nerf, however, to an extent. If a player can get all up on a Mage, it normally goes down. Also, I conquer, Heavy is pretty capable of taking out the mage because of high defense/damage output (just dodge the spam).

 

How about no nerf? An average mage that gets backed into a wall by a heavy is dead. Soldiers can climb the ground to strafe in three dimensions. And Ninja is 50/50 even with GOOD mages like me.

 

True, but I still feel it needs a nerf (my opinion)

 

Mage could use some tweaking just so people would stop yelling about it. But like @Sir_Inge and @Cardona360 said, If a mage gets caught in a corner, or misses just one spell it could easily mean the death of said mage. Not to mention assassin, ninja, and chemist/buffed heavy (grrr buffed heavy) can outmaneuver and kill the mage in 1-3 hits even with health regen. I cannot tell you how many times I am too focused on something and an assassin sneaks up and kills me.

 

None of these people like mage because they main a sword based class. Those who play these classes, like heavy/soldier, only associate skill with sword based classes. I've gone ahead and bought mage, and it was f*cking impossible to play; I couldn't kill anything. What I think the problem is, people, like inge, have become so skilled that other people think these classes are super easy to play, when that's simply not the case. Granted, when in the right hands, mage is extremely annoying, just like every other class when they're mastered.
