Mage impossible to play for normal people

Since she came the patch 5.0.2 I noticed the difference in playing the mage in pvp ... many classes are now able to kill and resist much less: the dots make us die in a short time and in a mass pvp without heals we are first to pay myrrh ...
Maybe people equipped with potions, runes very high and patience can do it ... but people of medium-high level like me and many other people are really struggling.

What do you think about this?

Hello Elcaro,

Allods online is a stuff win game. If you want to win your battle ground you have to be well geared but it doent mean that you can not do something.
I think your problem is the same that i had some time ago. You should change your point of view.
If you play in 1v1 fight opponents with a similar gear, you'll see it's really funny and the runes dont make all.

If you like battle ground you can try to get the damages boost in the golem rush and target ones who got less resistance thant the others (a warden, a scoot for exemple). If you improve your skill like this you'll see, you'll be able to do more and more mareviolous actions. The pvp will be funniest!

And other thing: dont even play for victory bur for plesure. It changes everything ;)

Your problem can also be on your statistics and talents. If you want more informations about that you might ask help on the mage section on the forum.

I hope i've helped you.

magedefense got better, more charges for stone barrier etc now, good
mage mana got worse, no more manareg with illusions, bad (but this was made most likely because 2handed staff was worthless for mage before since dagger & manareg was always full mana already)

mage's biggest problem were and was always summy & his dot :P

Back between level cap 40 and 47 mages use to be OP though dont get me wrong some of todays mage players can be OP as well. But mages were op based on there walls and illusions both use to be 30 mins, walls still 30mins but illusions are I be leave 30 secs. That being said after time people were saying it was to hard to kill Mages. In my point of view they should bring back the 30 min illusions to help with defense. I have tryed all the class allods has to offer some I have liked others well just not my cup of tea I guess. Mages are a class in which you must spend lots of time working on a build and play style that fits you the player. Weather it pvp, pve, or support damage. Not everyone is cut for pvp but does not mean you can try and try til; you get better.

What I am trying to say is duel some friends practice never give up just cuz things look hard, I know patches always seem to throw a crave ball and seem to make things hard but keep trying you will get the hang of it. That or find a class that you feel comfortable with mine is ranger. I have tryed them all and ranger just fits :)

But as I said bring back 30 illusions, ;)

Here try this build some people may say other wise but worked for me.

Actually I'd say that the changes they made to the lightning rubies in 6.1 was a nerf for a mage in PvE.
I guess they would be nice in PvP, you just can't really afford the rubies for them on P2P server.

Other than that, I do enjoy the mage personally.

mages are still one of the strongest classes. They're Burst-dmg is ridicoulus...Especially in Pvp they also have way too much utility stuff (blink/invis/"portal") compared to other classes.

Stop crying about nerfs ...

well yeah in pve mage damage may be a bit lower now and overall mage is just middleclass dps since a long time but it excels in pvp^^ to the thing with rubees on p2p well no cloue there but shouldnt be soo much less than f2p right? maybe 5 or 6 from diary pages?

Quoted

have u ever played mage bro? or have u ever played another mmorpg game? mage means huge aeo damage and high dps not defense

yes actually i did a while ago^^ and i can say from this mage has high burst and also a pretty high defensive considering his ability to oneshot ppl^^

Quoted

ı really dont care seal cause most of good player and I use astral aura,
lol well yeah its not like seal is the most important buff in this game^^

Quoted

flash would be a buff but we have low dps now scouts wardens even paladines and bards has more dps then us this is bullshit
flash IS a buff^^ and to the dps well depents on the situation^^ in pve you are right but in pvp a scout > mage? lol not even close anymore since patch^^

Quoted

lemme ask u a questıon but answer me bravely ıf u must choose warden,summy,mistic or mage for domi what will you choose?I
this depents on what i need in grp and how i play ;) when i need seal i wont take summy or warden also when i want to use an aoe tactic or burst damage tactic i would go with mage if i need seal and survivability then i would go with psionic or bard

I'm not sure about the exact differences between F2P and P2P, but aside from basics (Conflageration, Luck Rubies, Astral Power aura, Hailstorm, additional elemental points) if you want to take something for an useful CC like Hoarfrost, you'd already have to sacrifice some damage increasing rubies.


Mage does have a decent burst yes, then again I'm not sure what are the differences between the servers. On P2P even with a lucky critical on Elemental Surge I wouldn't be able to one-hit anyone that has some gear from astral with my 66k gearscore. If I'm to use a couple of skills in a short succession and I'm really lucky with criticals, then I guess I could burst down a squishier class like a Scout.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining here about mage, I really don't have a base of comparison as I haven't played on F2P in years. On P2P we don't see that one-hit kind of thing too often, not sure whether you're exaggerating with that or not.

I'd say the Mage class has a lot going for it. Interesting and relatively fast paced gameplay, very high skill ceiling and lots of utility (such as the broken Portal).

Sorry to disappoint many ppl here, but i agree with the 'nerf mage process' going on.
I'm playing mage since gipat patch and I do consider myself somewhat experienced in this class.
But with this patch mage gets huge nerf just by staying on the lvl it was before the patch while other classes get dmg/skill bust.
We do less dmg in astral we have less defense in pvp.
Don't get me wrong, mage still can hit in pvp and pve, but...
...in order to do so u need high gs or runes like 11+ (sadly true) and only then u will do decent dmg on allods. Even better, the aoe skills (which mages have alot in pve) generate so huge aggro that most likely they will draw mobs/bosses on themselves (happens to me on almost every allod even with outstanding tanks).

In mass pvp (BG's, Domi raids) mages have no chance (contrary to 1 vs.1 combat where we do) to stay alive for a longer time.
It's because almost every other class has the ability to regenerate HP during fight (not counting potions or patron skills ofc) or have second life, timeloops, doge rubies, shields, barriers or tunes that grant u the ability of slightly regenerate HP or evade direct dmg. For mage it's just few puny shields which absorb less and less dmg with each patch and have huge cooldowns.

As someone here mentioned, the 'undispellable seal' is useless in pvp since most mages use AOP and only sometimes u get to use the triple flash jump bcz most likely when u get to use it there are many opponents who will kill u before u realize even that u can do it.

Even more, we also lost the ability to regenerate mana in combat (reflection rubies), which for me means that the longer I fight i have no mana for any of my skills (and they do consume alot of it). It's good noticeable on raid bosses, where mage makes huge dmg at start and then the longer the fight last, the less and less and less dmg he makes... Not to mention that most mage skills demand that he stays still while casting them (the tear skill has 2.5 cooldown at r3) where on allods on dungeons he has to stay mobile else he dies.
This and the forces cycle means that mage pvp/pve consist on throwing 2-3 skills making huge dmg (against which opponents have heals or shileds) and use some minor (not forces demanding) skills which only tickle the opponent.
Thus in pvp, either I can oneshot my opponent (which most the time isn't possible) or it's not worth to fight since most likely i'll loose due to mana deplition or lack of forces or just from bleeding out. Therefore just the hope that the other one is inexperienced and makes some mistakes, keeps my on trying.


What regards the p2p server... well i consider this server a "laugh of allods team in the face of ppl who wants to play there". Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against those ppl, it's the allods team that makes fun of them by taking all the good stuff (which would make them stronger and equal since all of them could have it) giving them shty game play mode with not balanced content for the lowered gear they have, and demanding payment for this. In other MMOs when u pay u get all the CS things for free or for the gold in game. Here they took that (runes, good mounts, scrolls etc.) and gave few things which can be obtained in game with the same lvl of difficulty as the one in f2p. So what good can come for mages there when even in the f2p server many ppl switched from mages to other classes?!


ps. I wish mages have back the ability to heal and get mana back from forces as it used to be back in the old days.
