will luminous be that weak after unlimited patch? the problem im having with F/P is the mp and the constant activation of magic guard. (I dont have evan card)
[quote=Singaporean]F/P is the better bosser. Their hypers can allow them to do passive damage that go thru magic cancel and damage reflect poison explosion has 50% reduced cd with hypers.
Luminous is good as well but relies on reflection too much which just doesn't seem like a solid skill.[/quote]
They use spectral light for 1vs1, does a lot more dps.
[quote=wizardq]Yeah, better at everything except damage.
If you want damage go F/P. Sorry to break it to you all, but lumi is not the superman class that is better at every other class at everything. If you have extreme funding, lumi is better right now, but in may/june when unlimited comes out, it will not be so.[/quote] Actually, by that date, GMS's Luminous will become the weakest class.
[quote=Rdndede]Aren't you the sour guy who cries about every other mage class? I see you like on most of the mage subforums just spouting stupidness. And OT, Lumis are currently stronger than F/P's in many ways. (Mobbing - Reflection, Bossing - due to better overall def and mdef /status resistance/black blessing even if its only 3 hits/ ender and bind, Mobility - longer tele and invicibility for 1 second yes one second makes a difference)[/quote]

[quote=pinkwad]With my funding I would be able to hit caps on all lines of reflection... On F/P I barely get 500ks per paralyze line and that's just with crits.[/quote]
F/P's depends on mist eruption. Sure, now you cap with it and it might not be worth using it at all, but just wait until hypers and for damage cap to get raised to 50m. I can 100% guarantee you that your F/P would blow any luminous with the same fundings off the water.
[quote=yomamma1134][b]lumi is definitely the stronger one lol...[/b] but i saw f/p and they seem very unique. especially how they use that poison gas and then mist explosion.[/quote]
If you're looking for a long term character (post unlimited+hypers) i would recommend F/P mages. They are much better at 1v1 DPM than lumis (therefore making them better at bossing) and the damage cap increase is just great for their Mist Explosion which was pretty easy to cap with.

@mrkungpow: it's not 100% This is exactly why luminous are dead last on the dpm charts while fp are like #8 i think or somewhere in the top 15
Lumi is the better bosser because lumi can stay alive.
Bossing is not just straight out dps. F/p have no status resistance besides character cards and willpower and lumi has a bind skill.
Can someone provide some math
[quote=Deadly1337]right now lumi>f/p because lumi has hyper skills.
next week= f/p>lumi, kanna, evan, battlemage.[/quote]
Next week
1v1 F/P > Battle Mage> Evan > I/L > Bishop > Kanna > Luminous
1v2+ F/P > Battle Mage > I/L > Bishop > Evan > Luminous > Kanna
right now lumi>f/p because lumi has hyper skills.
next week= f/p>lumi, kanna, evan, battlemage.

Actually, sadly it is. I admit it's even stronger than I/L. It's a very overpowered class.

i plan on bossing with mages so are F/P better?

Personally I find lumis more fun though.
Better doing what? F/P is a lot stronger but Luminous can boss better.
lumi is definitely the stronger one lol... but i saw f/p and they seem very unique. especially how they use that poison gas and then mist explosion.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i love my f/p but i'd have to say lumi
