Again, when you can't win with logic and facts, you resort to name calling. I am sorry a Mages DPS numbers are not great, and a Shaman can match their high end in an XP group. As mentioned before though, 2x Enchanters are DPS enough. Mages just aren't really needed outside of CoTHing most of the time.

Can you post a video of you root rotting 4 mobs while in a group with three other people?

Honestly I am the only one posting videos, and people still don't believe them because they don't want to.

Please post a video of an Enchanter/Enchanter/Cleric group, and then add a Mage. Then we can see how much they actually contribute.

You didn't read the part where nobody brings Mages to Fungi King camp lol. A Mage's DPS is irrelevant there, you would use a Shaman for utility. Typically a Fungi King group looks like Shaman/Enchanter/Monk or SK and a Cleric (alt or player).

That is just a bad example because you can't bring actual evidence or logic. It's a really bad attempt at a gotcha.

We were discussing other parts of Sebilis, not Fungi King specifically. But again, Mage isn't used there, so not sure why you think it's a good example.

Still no evidence, only insults. The only autism here is you would prefer to believe something that isn't true because you like Mages.

Evidence isn't required for something that is extremely obvious to anyone with a mediocre or better understanding of this game. I don't have a 60 mage I can go parse to shut you up but everyone else on this forum besides you is well aware that what you're saying is nonsense. You're spewing this hypothetical situation that isn't realistic 99.9% of the time as a reason why your beloved shaman is as good/better than a mage for this hypothetical 4 man caster group.

If you can keep 4 mobs perma rooted in camp at all times in addition to whatever mob the rest of the group is fighting and you can ensure all 4 of those mobs die in increments of exactly 1.5 minutes then you probably are better dps than a mage with less gear than you (no epic). Congratulations buddy. If you can pull this off for a single hour straight I will tattoo your name on my forehead. Your hypothetical circumstance where shaman > mage is so unbelievably unrealistic I have no good words to accurately describe how ridiculous it is. Even if you are somehow gods gift to everquest shamans and can somehow pull this off I assure you 99.999999% of shamans cannot and thus I can safely conclude that mage > shaman for literally every case except you in this 4 man caster group.

The math is still true regardless of your protesting. I am not speaking nonsense, you are simply not happy with what I am saying because you have a Mage. I am not saying you shouldn't play a Mage. Mages are fine. I am simply showing the truth. If DPS was your primary concern, you wouldn't need to bring a Mage.

Necro or Shaman would DPS just fine on top of all the other stuff they can do. The reality is with two Enchanters you have enough DPS as it is, so I am not sure why you think a Mage would be good here anyway. Their DPS really isn't that impressive or necessary, especially for clearing Sebilis.

DSM just likes to play p99forum chess but when he’s checkmated after the first few moves and the person moves on he flips his king back up and attempts to keep playing.

It's the opposite[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This discussion was checkmated a while ago, but people just can't admit Mages are not very good. Math trumps your feelings. It is factual reality.
