It's true. As a mage and having relatively decent damage, I don't hit much on anyone in any class. Fitz is an amazing wiz with nice magic damage and even 70ed it's hard dropping another 70ed glad whereas I thought it was supposed to be relatively easy for a mage against a fighter. Fighter's naturally have low mdef, so just being able to crit them for that is weak imo. That means you're only hitting them for 750 as a normal hit, and crit rate isn't that great on here also. Once you take the crit rates, the high hp, and the mdmg and put it together, a mage doesn't do as much dmg as you'd expect them to. You can maybe get them down to 45% hp(?throwing out a rough estimate) before your stifle, fear, or ice (if you even hit) wears off and there they are and you're stunned and killed in a matter of seconds. However, the fast kill is expected. Mages have poop def.Archer's and trick's eva make it difficult to actually hit them as is. So if you even get to hit them, you're not hitting them that hard. I do believe though that archer's and trick's dmg should be increased slightly. Not by a shit ton though.
