In Discussion Class/Skill [Feedback Request] Skill Changes and Balancing

Last reply because you have your mind set and I cant convince you. This is just for any of the balance team reading this.

1. WHO said that LHC wasn't designed for mages in mind? Why would the "MOBBING CLASS" not do MOBBING CONTENT. LMAO It was even introduced Post BB as you rightfully said, where mages actually have skills outside of Blizz and Meteor

2. Brother, the problem is not the "breaking through the 10%" the issue is that in an MMO where we currently have a class that cant participate in ANY content in said MMO.
Not even the 90% want us unless its a meme run. You also bring up this point about being good bossers while being able to sell leech/grind/etc but dont people already do that?

People on here do daily bosses on their main then log into their mage(s) to make money.(Some just play their main which is also cool and I do think bossing should be more profitable)
Its just that some people want to boss with their mage because they find that the kit is actually interesting (I know shocking!)

Not saying these people should be GOOD at bossing but it should not be NEARLY as bad as it is now, especially because ALL the Earlygame-Endgame content with groups is either BOSS FOCUSED or involves a BOSS. Are you implying these people should park their mage at level 136 and do nothing else ever with it? Thats just a Cygnus Knight with MW20 (ik its level 120 but still)

3. I still fail to seen how an increase to mage ST will destroy "Class Identity" they'll still be bad classes relegated to mobbing (we still have no major Archmage/Bishop content for except RG btw) lets not fool ourselves.
To even even take your own point with HB and DK, the "90%" have almost never turned me away for saying "J>DrK level xyz" but I have been ignored several times for saying "J> IL MW20 will cheese/pie/apple" because unlike Archmages, DKs have other positive attributes and things they can ACTUALLY contribute to a party.

Don't comment so boldly on balance for a class you either clearly haven't played outside of muling or you just hate, its incredibly insulting to the people who actually invest and play these classes.

 

I have a F/P arch mage- not sure what you mean by muling a mage but I'm fairly certain I haven't done that. I had the same on GMS along with my marksman both of which were 120+ by the time 4th job came out and well into 4th job by the time BB came out- please don't take my strong position on this as me being clueless or for not playing the game.

I already answered your other points so I'll leave it at that since you sort of glossed over my previous responses. I also don't really care to go point by point anymore- it's not that I don't think mages can't be improved (I actually said that- if you bothered to read my responses previously). I just don't think making them better bossers without really careful consideration to the rest of the games class balance is the right move.
