You honestly think your faster casting pyrogram will keep up with the faster casting Stone Rain and Sage Pyrogram proccing?
This argument is a joke.
Agreed.
Hell's channeling speed is barely noticeable to even think they could accumulate more chi with regular attacks. Actually, I'm pretty sure a sage mage can get 6 sparks before a hell mage can get 3. ijs
Faster channeling on...
Divine Pyro
Glacial Snare
Pyrogram
Your argument fails Pwnar0 -
the passives are equilivant in usefulness for both dark and holy.
there's only 1 doom "better" for holy, and that's cryonite.
and, and.. why am i telling this to a level 60?

i got all the responses i expected:
raging children who think they know what a mage is b:shocked
tika: i hardly use my fury, if ever. i don't use it in tw(unless i hide the animation, otherwise it's just a waste), and even then it's only to take out cart pullers.
none of you will know how much vigor a dark mage has because none of you have played one. i've played both dark and holy with almost the same amount of skills, and i can't see the HUGE difference. maybe once every 60 seconds, or once every blue moon, you'll have slightly more(relying on 20%?).
w/e. this is pwi after all. where axes can kill people.
You're an idiot.
More ulti' in TW = more deaths, and more one shots, not to mention more fun. You think single targeting with regular attacks is "better" than what a sage mage can do in TW?
Ive played Hell before, and a few people from CQ were Hell on Oracle and are Heaven now. The chi difference is extremely noticeable, stop denying it.0 -

You're talking about .... channeling gear? We're talking about the differences between the Demon and Sage's added affect.

Also, Pwnar, you may not have noticed, but a fair number of people have lunar ornaments/wand now. That's -18% channeling, probably -24% if they have a 6% sleeves, and maybe -30% if they have the cape too. Is that enough for you?
And if you're talking about more -chan than that, should they be reducing damage by socketing -3% chan gems, or reducing pdef by grabbing -% chan mdef ornaments? Or what?0 -

But some people might use demon triple spark (or demon wellspring quaff) and need to gain chi so they can keep using them...

You don't get -chant when you add those stones to your gear, only if added to weapons.
Also Miss Tika, you make sage pyrogram and the 50 chi every minute seem like its the so godly. Yea 50 chi every minute is nice but put it into a pvp setting. Having the faster attacking skills is better than having that 50 chi you keep going on about.
Of course I'm not going to use d'pyro and glacial snare ALL the time because theyre more like starter attacks then a constant use in a combo. With faster casting though, glacial snare can be used in a very effective way in pvp ALONG with other dark skills.
Every holy mage will argue ofc because they've chosen the sage path and don't want to look like idiots.b:embarrass0 -

I like how instead of addressing my basic point (that people have lots of -channeling now), you chose to correct a mistake I didn't actually make. It's that kind of intellectual dishonesty that proves you're just trolling and don't have a legitimate argument to make.0 -

Yea it is effective, there just isn't any hell mages on LC cause everyone's mind has been poisoned into believe sage is the "BEST" way to go.Calliope - Heavens Tear wrote: »I like how instead of addressing my basic point (that people have lots of -channeling now), you chose to correct a mistake I didn't actually make.

Ok so I might have misread, BIG FREAKIN DEAL? No one will wear mdef ornaments, that's stupid IMO. Only hit you'll take if any will be putting chant gems on your weapon.0 -
Silly forp, you know that you can't hide behind your alt.Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"

Why ignore me, because you're only arguement is holy pyrogram and 50 chi every minute? GG thats a whole cultivation changer for me b:embarrass
I'd list all the skills and why demon is a whole lot better but I believe that's been done about 349582734590 times already.
-Holy Black Ice dragon
-Holy pyrogram
-Chi skill
Those are the only reason to go sage. Otherwise go demon. I'm done posting here got stuff to do.0 -

That wasn't my(and the rest of the thread's) only argument.
yes, go away
Did you notice i never said Sage > Demon over all. It's a different playing style and seeing you mock this playing style as if its inferior is wrong.0 -
tika, as well as others, have only proven to me the ignorance that is this server. thanks guys. i was actually hoping to see some evidence to your claims to why holy is so superior for you. Kristope makes some sense, I agree with him that holy distance shrink is equally useful for both dark and holy.
oh, and tika.. when you get your holy seal, please, tell me how it works for you okay? 3 meter aoe is AMAZING compared to the lower cooldown, right?
right?0 -
drama drama drama !!!
most of demon skills are better than sage skills (and yea im sage)... but tbh in pvp/Tw u dont use all those skills - ur main skills are: pyrogram (sage wins), gush (demon wins), stone rain (both are good), phoenix (demon wins), hailstorm (sage wins), stone barier (demon wins), DB(sage wins) , BT (sage wins), MS (sage wins)...
and BID .... sage BID > every other skill... no matter it's demon or sage skill... it's real anti catabarbs skill... it's just a BEST SKILL EVER!
ah and passive skills - ofc sage wins[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

Please take a few moments and take a look in the mirror, Forp. You're the ignorant one here, claiming Hell is oh so superior, and bashing everything the sage mages are claiming.
Evidence? Are you serious. Our argument of Chi has already been a valid point. If you REALLY want some evidence go take a look at Haiz's TW vids. I doubt you have nearly as enough chi as he does, and i'd be surprised if you can cast half the amount of ulti's he casts.
Uh, I've had Sage Seal for months. The AoE is definitely nice. The extra cool down in Hell version is only beneficial in 1v1s... imo. Are you seriously using Seal every 28 seconds in TW? Use it when you *need* to.0 -
that prof guy is a cocky ***** that think low lvls got nothing to say in this topics ''why am i talking to this lvl 60'' ppls arnt just lvls smartass
and geez if u dont even play this server why the hell ur even here lifeless much?
anywayz what that 101 mage from heaventears said (sorry forgot name lazy to chack) and tika AND kris closed this topic can we just move on0 -

I say dark is superior with the same grounds everyone of you say holy is superior. Why do you think I made this thread? All I see is "Sage wins", yet I never see why. I know holy mages, I've ever played as one.. I don't see how it wins. You all just talk.
Haiz is a good mage, I'll give him that. I like his videos. They don't make my fingers curl like watching Pandora. Though even as I watch, I don't see any huge increase in vigor in comparison to mine. I might just have more level 11 skills, therefor gaining vigor is easier? Possibly, I can't see his skills.
The aoe for the seal is.. well, a nonfactor. The person you're using it on has to be nailing the other in the **** to be hit by the aoe. And no, I don't use it every 28 seconds, I use it every 21 seconds. I will, however, be using it every 18 seconds when I get to level 99(not everybody gets by being ignored by the level 70s and 80s with +3 gears. some of us are constantly being attacked).0 -
Dont waste ur time on forp. He's the same guy who said you need 105 str and 100 dex >.> to be light armor at 90, same guy who said LA has half the magic attack of pure, same guy who said to use frost blade in the middle of a sutra to gain chi >.> (b4 the buff cast on yourself option was put in game)and he didnt know it only gives 10 chi. Just look at Pandora's guide (page 47 and on) its in there as well as in old buried threads. He's playing on another version of this game only reason he would be here is to waste time making a fuss.0

I agree with most of what you say Sheswes, except hailstorm. Why does sage benefit you more? To my understanding, the additional kick of damage is reduced to nearly nothing(as if it were treated like a dot)?
Ya Hell is probably better with the increased freeze rate. I havn't actually learned Sage Hailstorm yet... its still sitting in my bank, so i'm unsure how much additional damage it actually.. does... not like it matters lol. Its not like we decide which path because of this pathetic skill.I say dark is superior with the same grounds everyone of you say holy is superior. Why do you think I made this thread? All I see is "Sage wins", yet I never see why. I know holy mages, I've ever played as one.. I don't see how it wins. You all just talk.
Re-read all the posts in this thread and im sure you'll understand why sages like their choice. And as far as i'm concerned, you gave no reasons in your OP about your decisions.
What do you want really, we've shared our opinions and you act like we didn't say anything at all. Are you blind?Haiz is a good mage, I'll give him that. I like his videos. They don't make my fingers curl like watching Pandora. Though even as I watch, I don't see any huge increase in vigor in comparison to mine. I might just have more level 11 skills, therefor gaining vigor is easier? Possibly, I can't see his skills.
I guess we'll agree to disagree. You think you have as much Chi as a Hell* Mage. Whatever.
Pandora's vids are a piece of ****. They're fun to watch and all, but he does two things that Haiz' (and the rest of us sage mages) don't do: Spark pots and a EP slave healing him.The aoe for the seal is.. well, a nonfactor. The person you're using it on has to be nailing the other in the **** to be hit by the aoe. And no, I don't use it every 28 seconds, I use it every 21 seconds. I will, however, be using it every 18 seconds when I get to level 99(not everybody gets by being ignored by the level 70s and 80s with +3 gears. some of us are constantly being attacked).
Ya i meant 18 seconds* typo. And I really didn't understand what you said here... not like i care really. Sage is 20 second CD.
You're not even level 99 yet? .....
And to make something clear:
Pyrogram, Stone Rain, Gush and the 99 skills were the ONLY available skills for a long time until just weeks ago (yeah a few people had 1 or 2 old book page books. I was the first one to open a book on Lost City and got Wellspring quaf... then shortly after someone else got Distance Shrink, and a few nonfactor skills dropped from 99, pitfall twice lol. For Hell, Elayne and Nabmonic were really the only ones on the server with a few 92 skills). Basically that was the deciding factor when the majority of us chose our path. This new event made every skill easily available instead of having to farm 99. If i had known every skill would be available i might have chosen hell, but I really dont anymore tbh lol. Constantly one shotting people with Black Ice Dragon (oh hi Athran, Zechs, Mapster and all you other ****) and able to produce ultis constantly is a good enough factor for me and the rest of us sage mages.0 -

wats the point of the thread? o.o all i see is a list of skills, and no reason of it. from wat i can see, ur just trying to make up ways y hell>heaven so u don't feel so bad about ur choice.
A hug is much easier to get. just go next door, knock, when it opens, open ur arms ask for a hug, and wait for the contact of their fist to ur face. do it to a few neighbors, and u might get some sense knocked into u. glad i could hlp ^^i'm the one spinning in their chair, eating a ring-pop, wondering y the world hates broccolie so much... but loves it w/ cheese O.o... mabye we all should wear cheese to be better ppl.

About the whole "sage giving tons of chi" thing, why not just build up chi before going into open pvp (embrace, frostblade, morning dew)?
Do you really ever use the move that gains 50 chi, while fighting someone?
If not then surely that just means pyrogram is what's giving you more chi providing it procs - which shares the same percentage chance as stone rain has to stun.

Not only does it build chi faster off the field (less time in safe zone and more time doing useful things) but using the Chi skill on the field is used frequently and is why i love the skill so much. Even on 1v1s or small group pvp, if i failed killing someone with sparks, ill be able to easily recharge my chi.
Isn't stone rain 20%... Pyrogram is 30%. I think... I'm tired b:surrender

I'm too lazy to get quaff, but if I could, I would have it. Quite possibly the best skill ever for a mage. -20% chant for 15s is a lot for a long time, and by time you finish with it, you've already gotten your fury back.
@Damage:
When I played holy I used it on cooldown, pretty much. Even in open pvp.0 -
