RI>for your above scenario where the mage walks in. and does that mass
RI>attack. ok he comes in,( i am a mystic btw), the mystic is proabably
RI>resting with TROL, witchy has high resistence and ranger has regen
RI>spell.  So mage comes in, everyone sees the 'moves to attack' and they
RI>all attack him. in about 1 round that mage is running or dead because if
RI>he fails his 2nd round of spells he is dead for SURE vs those 3 classes.
RI> As for mage vs priest. a mage is more for pvp then a priest,  a priest
RI>who has godstrike and godheal is awesom, and is a great PARTY asset.
RI>you cant expect to have a priest be given more powerful spells and if
RI>you remove a mages spells(and yes some of his spells are WAY powerful,
RI>dfir) then he will be worthless
Have you ever played a low lvl mage before without any help from others?
More than likely you'll get rerolled or closed to rerolled just off
fighting mobs..yes mages have awesome spells at high lvls but they are
the BIGGEST headache under lvl 25.
