Battlemage

BaMs broken in Pvp?

In Pvp whenever I face a battle mage and get too close to them they attack me or use some sort of skill and drains all my MP in an instant.
Is this some skill of theirs or am I just facing a really strong battle mage? Because I'm harmless and very weak without mana >.<
They also have massive defense, health, and a 20 second invincible twister form that deals tons of damage (Phreakâ„¢).
Point is: is the MP draining phenomenon a skill or just super funded BaMs

BaM before Union- Man 3 invincibility with double chain? OP!
BaM after Union before Champion- Man 3 invincibility with stacking auras? OP!
BaM after Champion- WTF STOP STEALING MY F*** MP!

[quote=MagickPaine]Agreed. They're called "Battle Mages" for a reason. If they can't curb stomp you in pvp what's their use...? Since Nexon doesn't give them the attention they deserve.[/quote]

if thats the case, shouldn't bishops and paladins never die as they are defensive support tanks? but no. bishops are Op to every class that isn't a shadower phantom or battlemage

[quote=McLover]Hahaha i love draining mage and phantom's mp.
I just follow them and stay near them, then they can't even tele/flash jump away xD[/quote]

If they're not totally retarded/have more than average funding, they could probably kill you before they get any significant problems, and then just loot MP items.

[quote=iceychill2]@Mystelteinn: The main problem is that a BaM will teleport on top of some mage out of nowhere and then drain his/her MP to zero. It's super annoying as a mage if you're busy fighting somewhere else and the BaM decides to join the party and DoT the heck out of the mage(s).. >.<[/quote]

Once again, new PvP mostly depends on funding. Noob mages always last long because of magic guard, or the time it takes for ADA's DoT to remove their MP. As for any decent/funded mage, most of the time they just run away when i turn invincible, or they kill me before i can finish draining their mp. Or they fight me with magic guard off. Surprisingly, even with mguard off, they last quite a while (Thank nexon for boosting mage's hp in PvP along with the fact that they got insane mp).

[quote=XxAzbelxX]Jeez, why is everyone raging at our class? I mean really? Were good at this 1 thing and you have to rage at it? We suck literally at terms of damage, and were the currently one of the lowest class tiers. o.o Maybe if we were revamped them maybe I'd say okay but.. Oh and you can't dispel our auras. It's a permanent buff that lasts until you die or deactivate from the player's control. Why? Because it takes quite an amount of time just to cast the buff.[/quote]

dont have to get so angry buddy. shes not intentionally hating on battle mages.

1) Run away from BaMs when they're in Twister. How hard is this?
2) Same with Party shield
3) If you see ''NO HITS, NO HITS, NO HITS'', it's probably because he just used Body boost, which grants him 10 seconds of invincibility

That's pretty much what you have to watch out when facing a BaM.

Oh, and the fact that this new PvP is completely broken and it takes into account everyone's funding. Meaning crazy rich people will always stomp on you.

Don't think so. Just make sure you go at them from a distance.

Nope their DOT aura damage just kills all of your mp I suggest turning off Magic Guard when fighting a BaM.
