Questions about mage classes?

[Ajah]

What mage class is the most powerful in everyones opinions? I would also like to know why you think so as well.

Enchanters. You can't do anything without them, and they can do plenty without you.

I am an enchanter, and I have to say that even at level 40 (and leveling fast!) I have to agree. I feel that my character is useful, and very powerful.


BUT!


This is not a class that I feel you can 'bot' or 'script.' I just played a 6 hour XP run and not ONCE did I get to kick
back and enjoy a ride. I had to lead, spellup, mem, check conditions, etc.

I would ONLY suggest playing enchanter to those who love long sessions of non-afk activity on the mud. Do you want to keep yourself working nonstop? Respond to requests from EVERYONE for EVERYTHING? stone, globe, blur, haste, di, dm, enlarge, reduce, str, dex, etc, etc.

It is your job to give this things, and you are gonna be one unhappy camper, or at least a frustrated one, if you do not enjoy this.

I for one LOVE being a spellbitch. I don't really wanna play anything else. I have every intention of getting level 46, zoning, and then being on as much as i can to zone with anyone who asks me to do any zone.

This class rocks if its what you are looking for.

Illusionists. With mislead, feign death, rainbow pattern, sequester, displace, mirror image, camo, invis, change self, fold, and decent nukes, you don't wanna know what you can twink with them. You can't be tracked/summoned/dim doored to by anything, can send a shade in to scout it out or tank it if it's < lvl 47ish and doesn't di, do decent damage to kill things, and have nearly !fail stuns to stop spells and switches.

I'm still figuring the high end game out for them being only lvl 38 atm too, heh.

Each mage class has their own little 'most powerful' niche. If you want to be the best at dealing damage, then invoker. If you want to be the best at soloing, then elementalist. If you want to be the most useful to groups, then enchanter. If you want to command undead minions, then necromancer. Illusionists are nice and rounded, a good combination of defense and offense.

I dont know which is the most powerful class but illusionists are definately the funnest. In my humble opinion of course

Well, I'll speak from a very biassed perspective.

I dig Shaman. Sure, they don't blow mobs away like Nukers. Sure, they don't protect, and enhance like 'Chanters. Sure they don't make you Sneaky, Sneaky, like Illusionists. Sure they can't control the undead, or make anyone into an earth/air/fire/water elemental, but they can heal a bit for the group, stone a bit, steal the souls from the hearts of the enemy, and bring a friend along.

So, while they all have great points, my love as a class, is da Shaman.
