Re: Help with an Ineffective Ice Mage...
I don't profess to know the intricate details of each spell build, but just from a gamer's point of view, it seems out of place that a wizard can snap their fingers, have basically twice my rDef, and still sling high damage iceblasts like there's no tomorrow. I'm not saying the wizard can't have a defensive spell. All I'm saying is that, just like my skills, there needs to be a tradeoff.
No mage tanks please. I think that's what this is really about, regardless of any wizard stereotypes. If a wizard can take twice as much damage as I can, and do twice as much damage than I can, then what am I good for? A distraction? No thank you.
