i was just wondering if magicians were the weakest class in the game (i'm talking about regular statistics)? from what ive seen, our damage is sufficiently worse than other classes. im also a low level, so i dont have an amazing perspective on this, so ppl with higher characters, plz comment from your experience AND DONT SAY BEGINNERS NO SMART ASS COMMENTS

Mages have the lowest damage in the game aside from 1st job, but train fast. Once you get to 4th job, that fact will hit you like a boulder.

Mages are the weakest in terms of damage. Mages were really meant for mobbing and training.

But if you consider every instance of that low damage every time you cast, say, explosion, it catches up. This in mind, as well as putting in attack speed, makes this question very hard to answer...

Let's say he does about 20k a star on apple. 20/20/20/10/10/10 due to SP halving. That's 60+30=90k a TT. And don't say NL's can't do that much; there's a dexless NL around 19x that does 56k's on HT. Now take Oli, one of, if not the TOP mage in GMS. With cheese, echo, and all, she does around 50k max a CL. CL is around 90 casts a minute. SE is 140% damage added on, so around 70k a crit. According to SP's attack speed table, TT is faster than CL. Can't link it, because Basil thinks they're cool by blocking SP. With TT already being stronger on paper (keep in mind AVERAGE night lord) then applying attack speeds, mages don't really have that much DPS. CL is one of the faster mage attacks too. Explosion is one of the slowest, plus CL has more base damage. It's really not that hard to answer.

Well, Mages have it easy with everything BUT 1vs1 DPM. Be thankful. We're the fastest trainers We're the best best KSers We have great dps on large, loose mobs We're on the higher end of surviviability Bishops are the best support ect. Being the worst bossers hardly balances it all.
