Think about it, Wouldn't mage ultimates be useless after the big bang patch? Isn't it rather better to put those 30 skill points into a different skill then a mages ultimate? Also, think about it more.The max skill cooldown is 30 seconds, and all ultimates hit 15 monsters, which is about 2 kills per second, when you can use different attacks and put those 30 points into more needed skills that can kill faster? Well thats just my thought.Do you guys think ultimates will be useless after the big bang patch or still good to put skill points into?

[quote] lunarfoxy2 : Dw. CL still does the trick, even now for me thats enough to get most annoying brats out of my channel :P [/quote] consider the fact that most ksers use flash jump, and you're forgetting about dual blades i don't think CL is gonna do anything to a dual blades FATSUS combo by the time the mage gets there the mob is technically dead.

It does more damage. It's far from useless. Mages will just need to learn how to run around and kill stuff like everyone else, and then every X seconds they can nuke a group of enemies into oblivion. It might not be as "fast" as things currently are, but it will still be fast.

[quote] clothboy : ehh the ultimates are so slow the cooldown will finish before the attack hits o3o [/quote] Can't completely dissagree here, 30sec isn't killer alot, as in general takes about 10sec to launch a blizzard xD To Repartez: It's usually dork DBs that try to KS me, and so far none managed to actually do it, yes they attack fast, but most of the time don't one hit like I do

Dark Fog gets reduced in cooldown to 10 secs instead of 20. Maybe this is another of Nexon's 'tricks' to make people quit reg mages, make an Evan and spend NX on the skillbooks?

you guys forgetting that mobs also have a spawn time...... so say 10sec for casting, that leaves 20 seconds....... atleast 15 of those will be the mob respawning,so now you have a 5 second delay between mob kills

[quote] lunarfoxy2 : Boh if you're high leveled enough, who cares if its maxed or not. Altho after BB you may consider maxing chain lightning first, and then blizzard. [/quote] i like this but i would personally go chain lightning, then summon, then maple warrior, then blizzard maxed. I would just leave one point in blizzard at 120.

Ultimate skills are good to use because they need to quickly exps. Like the Bishop girl and boy's over-powerful at Skeles in youtube. For example(me): Soloing> spam Bliz > soloing > spam Bliz > soloing.... go on. it feel like they can just keep training at the monster places. Ultimate skills will not useless.

Dw guys mages still got the skill big bang we will be coming back to ks you guys^^

Everyone seems to think that people played as mages only to get the ultimate attacks. People played before there was a 4th job and they will still play without any ultimates. Priest/bishops/mages still play a major part in many of the pq out there. Ultimate cool down will change nothing but maybe skill builds + amount of leeching. 2 kills per second is till better than 1 p/s.
