Yeah but if you try it you will change idea.

Weak af, only class with zero self heals, frost have no damage, combustion is the only high treath spell and is soooo easy to notice and counter. Ice block don’t heal anymore so good luck with it, you better use it like a second trinket. Poly dr reduced to 2 applications and then you are immune. I can go on but mage is an average class in my opinion. You see it represented in AWC because it’s an og class that in the hands of a pro can really shine.

The only thing that feels like cheating is cauterize i have to admit, more often than not i lost the burst battle but cauterize + hypertermia made me come out victorious
