Honestly i think mages are fine as they are. They have their purpouse so does a rogue. Mages are good at leveling, if any balancing needs to happen it needs to be a druid attunement added
They do need the lure adjusted, I level with a mage on my rogue and they can't catch up luring mobs before they die, their damage is mostly depending on lure and all of it is depending on skills, other classes have auto attacks so it's not much of a deal, not mentioning physical classes most times are hasted when lixing.
Druid attunement lol!
You wanna have a class with best buffs, heals, maybe pvp, unresisted swarms, magic damage that does good on tower, and now what, attunement? Why not give them edl bow and quiver too lol.
Need to struggle for good results
I really don't know how stupid you are. Druids are the least played class, yes they have buffs and heals BUT they cannot run those buffs, heals and dps at the same time so it's not a big problem. Swarm actually does decently low damage anyway and druids level like mages, using their skills (unless you want melee also but its so expensive). Druids need a skill buff as skills like storm and strike don't scratch damage like ice blast, shards, firebolt (compare strike to bolt and storm to shards for cooldowns) and the DOT's should do insta damage when casting like rupture just to make the classes balanced.
that's because they were designed to be a
s u p p o r t - c l a s s, not a pvp class, not a high damage during bosses class, not a tank class, not a "here lemme do the most damage while leveling" class. No, they were designed to mainly buff their buddies and do
some damage, not rule pvp or tank bosses, they were meant to help the tanks out by healing them and buffing them.
I'm not against druids or anything, I love using my druid to buff my main, it's great, and I know that's what they are meant for, it's hard to solo with most classes, so it's great just to group up, and I realize I must do that with my druid as well, or just power level myself lol.
And yes, I do think that swarms and vines should be insta-cast, and swarms should either be buffed damage wise, or the tic should be quicker, but I do not, however, think that druids should be seen as a high dps / tank / pvp class, they were purely designed to be a support type class with a bit of damage, a bit repetitive but just trying to make a point.
Also, calling someone stupid just because of their suggestion is really low by the way, it doesn't make them look bad, it makes you look bad, he/she was just suggesting something that they believe should be implemented into the game, just as you did as well, they didn't call you stupid, so there is no reason for you to do so either. That is just lame.
It is within you to succeed
My character Souleste was named after myself -
- my middle name is Celeste, so Souleste seems fitting...
Ice all on me
