Again I ask why is there such hatred and Bias towards mages. I’ve completed level 11 delves solo 30-40 times or more with this Fire Mage which is now level 660, While it’s not easy, going from 650 and up, completion occurred that is until this new addition to Fungal Folly.
I’ve noticed this new addition to Fungal Folly has been revamped several times, (delve itself and for classes). It’s easier now for other classes to complete with reduced cooldowns etc, For Instance I Just finished a Fury Warrior run at level-651 which completed it (though difficulty high), but take this Fire Mage at 9 levels higher at 660, with all bonus chests available through progression in delve, including item enhancements such as potions or flasks-even Well-Fed, makes no difference. Death comes easily, sometimes instantly with the (3 npc mobs) scattered about, which inflict 95-100% damage instantly. Also, I’ve noticed the cooldowns for other classes abilities have been reduced, but not for mages there actually worse now. What really hurts is the final encounter you reduced the cooldown of the hounds on the final encounter and mages do not have the armor and spells to counter this change.
Mage spells need all the Cooldowns reworked for Delves.
Take for example Mirror Image - Mirror Image lasts 5 -10 seconds at best-sometimes even less in final encounter.
Phoenix Flames cooldown should be 10 sec or less.
Mirror Image should last it’s full 40 sec. in every encounter when cast. Cooldowns for Mirror Image, Mass Barrier, and Combustion should both be at 1min
I’ve been here since Classic and there’s this OLD-SCHOOL mentality of what mages should and should not be and It’s sad! Maybe someone will actually use their mind and develop a mage that doesn’t have to be nerfed constantly to fit in with the rest of the crowd. Mages can be powerful and have the gear to back it up as well!
