I found this somewhat odd. If you prefer AE to mob control why not just use mages and get the job done right? A properly dressed mage can pump out solid DPS on single targets and give you the best DPS in the game against multiples.
It's probably becuase i've only run into horrible mages to date
I see a lot of power in the class, but most of the ones i've seen are retards that can only play 1 way
they can only AE
or they can only nuke
or they can only poly
the more I think about it, I tend to just prefer people who play well, regardless of class, as opposed to perfect group makeup with poor players
unlike EQ (to a certain extent) you can get by with almost any 5 classes in a group and be successful if you play to your strengths
You need to fire whoever your mage is, then. (Pun intended~)
I have absolutely no problem keeping something sheeped while nuking. Blizzard and flamestrike are a different story... but I can easily cast arcane explosion, frost nova, and cone of cold around my sheep with little to no worry.
Jirig is a shepard.
It all makes sense now.
ps. how are you punk?
