Bishops will 2hit mobs of monsters with bahumat and angel ray. Paralyze will do great on mobs as well. Chain lightning only goes in 1 direction, will be weakest, and only mob 3 monsters....F4 DPM wise i think chain lightning is still fastest and quite strong so thats where i/ls win....BUT since mages are still the worst bossing class, I/L is the worst mage to be IMO at this point.

[/quote] Angel Ray is weaker than Chain Lightning... Nexon Korea isn't that stupid... Also, F/Ps will probably haver higher 1v1 DPM than I/Ls assuming Elemental Weapons affect DoT. Though honestly TS, if you're making a Mage for the best DPM, don't even bother.

With this patch, we're still be one of the best mobbers (if NOT the best) and we'll also be able to boss efficiently. We're finally going to break the incorrect "mages can't boss" mold. And I agree. Training after the big bang actually looks like a lot more fun. (:

I/L CL > F/P Para in terms of raw damage, but for DPM it looks like F/P Para + DoT > I/L CL Paralyze will also be able to hit 6 monsters while "Freezing" them and causing DoT. Chain Lightning will hit only 3 monsters (-10% damage after first monster), cause no status infliction, but has a chance of critical. F/P > I/L at bosses and mobs.

Big bang is very powerful but takes 1 second to charge (after big bang) and animation is a bit longer than angel ray. I'm not sure big bang will be that much more effective than AR + teleporting as you kill monsters. Also, BB mastery book is hard to get...
