    Mages have undine strike, multi element ults, elemental magic shields, pdef barrier

    Can sleep > ult 1 shot people fairly reliably

    Distance shrink is godlike

    More interrupts than clerics

    Don't have **** feathers next to head

    DD class so we don't get pestered 24 7 for trivial PVE tasks

    I'd most more but you're most likely trolling and/or illiterate/ignorant.

    well a mage isn't really a great DD in bossfights, in most instances fist bms, venos and archers are better at DDing than we are but we have awesome aoes, you just have to love them b:victory
    that's why i like frsotcity, it's not really rewarding but dropping ultis all the time on so many mobs is just alot of fun lol
    i see mages more of a pvp class, we are awesome at tw, group pvp and even 1on1 once you passed the mark when nix bleed doesnt 1hit you on tick.

    To be honest i was thinkin about quitin mage and startin 1 of new classes..
    there was quite a few reasons i was gettin sick of the mage..
    - costs alot of money
    - if u go AA build before 90 like me.. ur squishy as hell
    - 4.8 m/s runnin speed.. OMG like !!

    but then i thought about it more and theres alot that make up for al this..
    think about it.. all your doin at the lower lvl is workin for lvl 90+ and thats where wiz gets intresting..
    -Pure Magic Build i can see is only way to go.. plenty of Pdef when buffed
    -You see wicked sick numbers pop up even if its not a crit
    -AoE's are sooo much fun =P
    -Distance shrink is so much fun
    -and you are the primary class for takin out Barbs,Bm's and kinda archers..
    --Plus as u lvl all your skill and upgrade your gear u can pritty much kill any1..

    All i can say is im glad im stickin with mage.. not gonna waste my time with anything else.. especially as TW pickin up in Lost City.. so much fun =P

    I have to say that, yes, I will be rerolling as a psychic when they come out. But at the same time, my wiz will always be my main character. People always say that a wiz is not a good class for a beginner. Pah! I tried the others, and got bored real fast.

    Clerics, in my opinion, should focus on healing. Their DD attacks just don't do as much as is needed.

    Veno=send in pet. Enemy dead. Where's the fun in that?

    BM= Okay, I found teh BM fun, but I kept forgetting my build. It got confusing and I couldn't decide on the weapon I wanted to specialize in.

    I like my wiz cause I see big numbers. Big numbers make me happy and they make other people scared. I don't TW or PvP yet. That's cause I don't like having other people beat me. But when I do, beware of the hardhitting wiz, cause I'll never lose again!

    During the fight with the Winged Elves, the grand Wizard Tien suggested that the
    Wizards ought learn from the Winged Elves and their combat spells.
    Hence two brand-new spells were developed to greatly enhance the
    battlefield activities of the Wizard. Undine Strike was one of them. As one of the most
    effective elemental spells, Undine Strike adopts a part of its essence from the Winged
    Elves' Elemental Seal. It also deals magic damage to the target. However,
    because grand Wizard Tien was too specialized in Earth element, the spell deals
    lesser Earth damage to the target, but reduces it's Water, Fire, and Earth
    resistance by 60% for 12 seconds.

    Wizard are the only class worth leveling in my opinion, Cleric is slow as hell to level while my wizard kills mobs with ease. People think arcane wizard just die all the time but I know how to save myself from dying and I personally dont think I have died (outside of a dungeon) since level 50ish around arrowhead.

    Before I played my wizzie, I played an archer. Wizards never piqued my interest until I switched servers. Now don't get me wrong, archers are fun. But I learned one thing after building my archer (which was able to wear level 20 arcane):

    I was meant to play a wizard.
