Why do You play your mage?

Hi guys,
So today I was just thinking about making a mage for fun and saw that each mage has their own specific pros that are each extremely unique. So this got me thinking, why do you play your mage? For fun, for bossing, for that one cool skill? I personally love lumis because of their mobbing and equilibrium mode but thats just my opinion. How about you?

Wrought my childhood and had fun with Season 1 PvP, that's all.

I used to main a BaM, but after this one Evan revamp a long time ago, I abandoned it and started to main my Evan.
I liked BaM's at first because it was "OP" back when I first made mine, plus the fact that ADA and the other auras are really good for support.
However, I liked the play style of Evan a lot more than BaM after the Evan revamp a few years ago, so I just stuck with my Evan since then.
It also seemed like my Evan was a lot stronger than my BaM with the same gear, so I found training/bossing a lot easier to do.
I also, for some weird reason, die a lot more on my [b]BaM[/b] rather than on my Evan.
I really miss having stance though when bossing, which Evans have but not as early on as BaMs do.
I even made my new main in Bera an Evan too because they're not JUST my favorite mage, they're my favorite class in general.
TLDR:

I love my Battle Mage solely for the fact it's the most balanced among my other classes. Although it may not be the strongest, and hell it's actually my 5th strongest compared to the rest. I still wish their skills would get a better balance instead of mostly spamming Final Blow... ESPECIALLY after the revamp, but that's a different discussion! Either way I just enjoy it for it's straightforwardness~!

Elemental Decrease or w/e so the few bosses I can actually do are easier. (Talking about my F/P.)
Plus, I have the most event items, Monster Cards, Medals, effects, pets and NX items on him just because he's been around the longest.

I tried leaving him for my Blaze Wizard but the lag on orbital flame was just too much compared to the last time I played.
Honestly it would perfect if my F/P had passive magic guard like Lumi and BW

I just picked Cleric because a friend that got me into the game used to be a Priest a long time ago, and I liked the concept of mages.

I just stuck through with my Cleric and 6 years later, it's now a Bishop which I still play to this day.

I just always like magic stuffs so obviously a mage. I picked to be bishop (then priest) because I get free heal, and free heal pretty much means good solo class. That's what made sense to me then. But, later I just enjoyed solo bishop thing, and the grind to fund the bishop.

[quote=dee14]@Mesmus: in terms of dps, AM is raw power they are up there in terms of dps but will never be top 5 hence why you won't see a lot of them[/quote]

I saw a chart of kms and f/p was ranked 3rd or 4th I think. NW and zero were the top. Not sure how much different we are from kms but we get almost every update they get anyway.

Bishops are my favorite class.

The viability and support that a bishops provides, such as HS and Heaven's Door, is nearly incomparable to any other classes.
It was my go to class when I started playing this game during pre-big bang and it was my go to class after coming back a couple of months ago.
It's easy to learn and pick up things as you start playing. You'll easily get into parties despite the lack of funding and attack range (unless they already have a bishop ).
Since you're usually in a party, you'll meet a lot of amazing people along the way.
After you've settled into the game, you can easily transition into a different classes with everything you've learned and with the help of the maple friends you've made.

I got my first 200, 210 and 220 and I've transition into a attacking bishop.
Summary: Bishops are a fun class.

[quote=Proxyied]i play FP mage because of uniqueness and amazing dots and damage. but i also main phantom and nightwalker for mobility and faster playing style[/quote]

That was utterly irrelevant having to state your other classes when asked which mage, unless somehow those classes were mages as well, maybe phantom for skill stealing mage skills but L O L, if you're gonna boast, at least do it where they ask why you play your favorite classes.

On another note, it's just the nostalgia of when I first played, I was going back and forth from ice lightning and priest and even now, they're still just as perfect to play. Having the option to switch between your favorite classes just hits the spot and gives me no reason to ever play anything else. <3

Battle Mage is fun to boss with others that love aura support + fairly tanky with fun close combat.
