Which one would be the best after Big Bang patch? IMO Fire Poison got nerfed, Ice Lightning got buffed, Clerics starting at Priest get some pretty nice skills and Evans are still pretty good.

I think evans after the big bang will have less damage than the two arch mages, and they have the disability of only attacking forwards. Choose evan only if you want to use the elements of all the mages. Choose cleric ONLY if you like to support a party in boss runs, and ONLY if your computer isn't laggy. Don't make one for damage, but that hasn't really changed... Fire/Poison is good if you like fire and poison! And slightly higher damage then Ice/Lightning, but not much of a difference. And I voted Ice/Lightning, because they can mob, freeze, stun, have the second highest damage of mages, and they're fun! It's like a middle ground for mages, with middle damage, and middle cool skills.

the only reason f/p mages are on top is cuz they are talking about damage over time, but what people dont realize is that u cant poison bosses.

[/quote] I/l's can do damage over time as well. And poison does work on bosses after the big bang, the last I heard. It's just completely different, a set damage instead of a % of the enemy's hp.

F/Ps have stacking DoTs and seeing how F/Ps will have like 5 posion/burning skills, they will add up.

[/quote] Now that is debatable, lets not start a flame war though (whispers "I/L > F/Ps though ^.^") Cambridge I think you have it the other way around, F/Ps deal more DPM to bosses but if anything, I/Ls would be good at controlling/handling mobs.

Lol wait what are we arguing about...? I mean, I'm fine with f/p's having higher damage. Personally, if there is ONE class that I wish to die, its evans. They came and took my spot in this maple world, and I fully intend to take it back. And yeah, I think both types of mages will have nice mobbing and bossing. Overall, the damage difference is very small anyways. No need to worry about 1k per minute or anything. above - Every class is getting buffed. It's just that arch mages are getting buffed more.

Quickjumper7 Evans get buffed quite immensely I've seen a lot of videos of both post-bigbang Evans beat A/M's in every single video...

^Every class got buffed. Evans are weaker than archmages in bossing due to speed concerns. They now have the upper hand in training however.
