Getting accepted to raids / parties as a mage

Hi!
Do you think a mage can get accepted to parties and raids ?

 

yes, definitely as a Bishop. Else for Arch mages, you might want to host a 30 man arch mages run for zakum or horntail

 

Could you share some damages or dps, maybe even compare with “attacking” classes. I would think arch mages should have decent dps too. Cant be sure

 

according to what i read here and there on the guides in this forum Mages are not invited cause they have a lower dps - but the thing is i like mages so i thought to ask what are my chances as an average+ (not extremely funded)
ice wizard in getting into a raid

 

Chances are pretty slim. Very slim. If you PM to join as an I/L AM people would probably think you're kidding.
That's not really a norm we do unless it's a meme run. Even if you're fully funded, a mage is not part of an attacker.
But if there are comparison charts, it would be interesting to see how a mage would fair against other attacker classes. The only thing is, mages do better at multitargets compared to single targets.

1% Chance

 

Wrong server, get back to farming and leeching people at Ulu

 

So basically magicians has no access to end game content ? (i mean other than Bishops)
what stuff can Magicians do in late levels?

 

which class is a good single attacker and can get into such raids?

 

leech and afk at fm

 

and which character have a good chance of getting into raids?

 

Mages are really weak in 1vs1, the dps is something like 1/3 of a normal attacker or less so even if you do get invited you'd just slow down the run.
Mages have good DPS in things with a lot of targets though (like zak arms or HT body)

 

Thanks for replying - which character have a good dps against 1 target?

 

Basically any class that are not Warrior or Mage.

NLs are the best when combined with SE.
Sairs are good too but dependent on their ship to do so.
Buccs are a solid single target.
Shadowers are pretty good as well but better off multi targeting when possible.

 

i thought Warriors are the strongest and needed in raids for their HB

 

Warriors are strong, sure. But their main skills hits up to 3 targets (Spear Crusher and Brandish) which makes them very strong multi target hitters, but decent single target hitters.

Paladins are single target hitters, but they lack very far behind in their DPS compared to other classes unless the target has elemental weaknesses.

While HB was an important skill in the original servers, HP washing in this server is a lot more achievable and most players are HP wash hence the redundancy of HB skill.

Generally, ranged classes do a lot better than melee classes in terms of DPS when against a single target.

 

That means bowman ?

 

Bowman, assassins, pirates and warrior are good. You could try a buccaneer to start, they're fun to play with.

 

Correct, bowman do pretty well, but in terms of DPS, Bowmaster do better than Marksman, however not by too much.

But if you compare bowman and NLs, NLs still do more DPS.

Fair warning. It's very costly to be HP washing a bowman.

Bowman, Corsair, Night Lords are ranged classes.
