Mage really need some love. Weapons are way behind any other branch. They don't seems to knockback the strong monsters and sometimes they "attrack" them instead with their attack. Add to that the poor defense bonuse from their armor....
Plus Tougher monster should'nt drop sticks...
Another annoying thing, When you warp, you should be able to have a chance to survive, it's so frustrating to be warp in a new zone just to end up dead.
Great wiki on the game... Please bring some love to mages...
