Return of Reckoning

For dps you want int. And it never hurts to throw heal when the help is needed. I love the dps and healing styles of the Archmage. Played it on live. Playing again here. Even in dps mode off healing at the right time can really be beneficial. However, as to the mechanic you really only stick to what ...

I know there is a lot of strong opinions regarding healing vs dps etc. I like both styles of play with the Archmage, could always have two sets of gear and just respec when I need a change of pace, but has anyone successfully created a hybrid option? I prefer large scale ORvR btw. Something that can ...

I just listed my opinion of why the AM dots worked better than the magus. Which imo is because of the one difference. the heal debuff.

I just find it amusing that the Dps AM has st dots that make Magus/Engi - the supposed DoT classes - look comical. I wouldnt say that. Let's compare their DoTs based on duration (source:http://waronlinebuilder.org/). 24 seconds Magus: none AM: Transfer Force (1072, life-tap) Winner: AM 20 seconds ...

Proper wb setup. Chosen/Kotbs BO/SM (maybe BG/IB) Sorc/BW Slayer/Choppa DoK/WP Zealot/RP (maybe AM/Shaman) x4. No place for any of the "DPS" healers. And here is a shining example of the mentality that is killing this game. Select classes leading the way in dps, while others are shunned. Even the ...

Dps archmage is my absolute favorite class/spec in the game. Hence why I like to keep a full dps set of gear on hand along with the heal set. I have to laugh though in a recent scenario I got flack for being a healing AM. I was told to roll a real healer. Mind boggled. Just roll a WP already :) See ...

If it did that is the player's fault. A little defense goes along way. Right now it just Zerg here Zerg there Zerg Zerg Zerg or let's just death match here and objectives be damned.

Not saying their 2handed trees might need help but shouldn't they test he nerf first so people can see the dps difference when it is not being overshadowed by an over performing tree? Nice thoughts on the issue though.

Until the scoreboards can show the whole story they are not accurate. Too many people look at damage and healing alone to determine if someone pulled his weight in the match. Which is totally not the case. There are way more variables to what potentially happened in that scenario. Some of which are ...
