im glad to see some more opinions here!
So im not the only one thinking that rates are ok

@Fou
Yes Im also happy to see more Mages.
Its always difficult to balance Mage class.
Cause Mage can switch on TShield+ TMace and can be quite "tanky".
If you are on Elysium staff...ofc you are an easy kill...
Mage without shield has always been an easy kill for 2x Sins and I think it should be that way.
About BP: I already gave the TStaff 15 Sword Def...for that reason.
About the staffs:
from what I tried...Elysium hits lower than Tstaff or CStaff.
plus the fact that you can tank much better with TStaff or CStaff.
I recently did increase AP and DD a lil on Scorching, Oasis, Chaotic staff, because I didnt see any Mages switching on them and people didnt even loot them. So they seemed useless.
17DD could help you tank vs Sins

@Distruction +1
I hardly see warriors using resist pots or Mages buffing the Priests with LR.
But if mage stun will low it's will be good for the pk it's making priests very noob with that shit stun and class not only priest I hope it's will be lower than now
