Mage epic is one of the top crappiest in the game to achieve, but with Hate 2.0 the current bottle neck regarding the Earth Staff will get better.

such a huge bummer being such a pivotal part of the class. It's like if monks needed a bottleneck quest for feign death to work at 60. When devs eventually consider what to do with the server as velious gets towards the end of live they should really consider doing a minor overhaul of some of the more bullshit epics. classic or not.

Not going to happen even though I do not disagree.

My opinion:

I love this project (P99) and it's similarities to classic live. Mage epic was the most difficult epic in the game due to multiple BULL CRAP spawns and very rare drops off them. WAY worse than any other epic related mobs in the game, overall.

When a Mage achieves their epic AND level 60, the time frame in which P99 is currently, it makes the mage basically a HUGE asset. The pet can out damage EVERY melee class in the game (except Rogues). And, it usually makes dps charts during boss fights (which is ridiculous).

The stats on the Orb are beyond awesome, but that is to be expected because all other epics in game are like that too.

I believe if anything were to change it would ruin the epic. It is the most difficult to get because of the pet and it's abilities. I do not wish for the devs to change anything regarding the epic. I just hope they follow what was true to the original design, and what I am most referring to is Hate 2.0. Magi P'Tasa Staff drops were a HUGE relief for all Magus. The staff wasn't NEARLY as bad as it was with Inny, who literally almost never dropped the staff.

/Opinion off regarding my thoughts on mage epic

One other thing I'd like to say is IF a mage can't or doesn't want to take the time to get the epic, which happens for various reasons: At least get the Water staff off Phinny or do the Plane of Sky quest and get the Air staff.

Both of those are HUGE upgrades to the 51+ pets and are the next best thing to an epic. Remember, a mage is only as good as his/her/its/transgender pet.
