Archmages - Forever useless at bosses?

Seriously, please, run some numbers before you whine saying you're too weak. Mages are the strongest unbuffed in the entire game... you're not weak if you're the strongest.

I admit I did not read your DPS theory and many of your long posts in here, sw or where ever, simply cos i do not have the patience to read essay like replies, but your diagrams were amusing. Whatever you claim, you should understand Maple is not only about training. Yes archmages deal a lot of damage when there are multiple monsters across different platforms not strong to their element. Yet you always neglect to take into consideration the amount of mana needed and how much mesos are spent every training session. And without a bishop or a hs mule/hb mule, training can be a nightmare. Ask any AM how much they spend at Skeles and newts and compare to how much you spend yourself.

Experience of playing an AM personally proves more than long essay-like counter replies and countless theories, esp by people of other classes. You ask us not to whine yet you are having the best of both worlds being a bishop, able to train the fastest cheaply, and go to bosses. If anyone is to tell us to stop whining, the last person should be you.

More and more AM i know are giving up to either make bishop or another class. If you claim AM is the best why is this happening? (actually i shouldn't ask... this will only encourage you write another long story, but w/e lol)
