I was watching a video with a level 150 Battle Mage. He looked completely overpowered. One skill, Cyclone, wasn't even maxed, and everything he touched got 90-100k damage (This is at Skeles). There's also a Genesis/Blizzard/Meteor Strike skill for them. I dunno if it was maxed, but it did around 80k damage, I think. Even more, these strange little reaper things appeared after some monsters died. They stayed behind and attacked monsters that spawned again, doing around 23k damage.

That is most likely post big bang. Everyone will be doing much more damage. I saw a video of a level 160~70 sair doing 500k damage each hit A level 150~60 Bishop doing 700k with angel ray.

...That's overpowered for you? Go look up some more big bang vids of the other classes. 90-100k will look weak in comparison.

The tornado skill isn't that great... you can't jump or climb while using it. Also, the minireapers are EXTREMELY slow attackers. From what I heard, they go at about 1 attack every 10 seconds or so. And how is that overpowered when pre-BB Archmages of the same level can spam ultimates and do around 100k damage to 15 monsters every 5 seconds or so?

All posters here are idiots. @fraapple, There are no bishops or corsairs that are doing 500K-700K damage. Get real, a godly funded hero does 200K altogether with Brave Slash. @Abysseon, it's over 90-100k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHUXBZhVbmI&feature=related GG @Satoshi, tornado isn't their main skill, neither is minireapers. Their skills are all very fast, also if you knew anything (which you don't), you would know that it's very hard to do 100K damage to monsters and that's only helpful in training. BMs are much wanted in bossing. @soiryK, what the hell does that matter?

Instead of giving an inadequate description that leaves aside so much information, post the link of the vid.

Battle Mages are not an offensive class, they're a support class along with Bishops. Read Takebacker's guides/conclusions from playing the class. =/

Jesus Christ, do you listen to everything Takebacker writes? He probably just played the class in KMST.

They support defensively while battle mages can support offensively. Dark Genesis?.....Support skills such as Dark Aura? Blue Aura? =/

600K per Genesis is pretty good lol, and even training with normal skills (angel ray/shining ray/bahumat) can consistently do 200K-300K ea http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or4xhBuwD38

Abysseon Then I guess every class is a friggin support class. Every attacking class supports offensively then. Every class has a skill that can benefit the whole party, but does that mean that they're a supports class? Hell no. ^above obviously skills that have cool-downs can do a lot more dmg, but that's why they have cool-downs. And the guy said there are class es that could do over 600K.

Most classes are powerful now, but you probably only watched THE NEW CLASSES. Watch some of the other classes after BB.

*facepalm* Just wait until the class and the updates come out. You can measure their "overpowered-ness" when you actually get to play the stupid classes.
