Positives of an I/L?

B.) I want to play an I/L. I just want to know what I'd have to do for HT. I am guessing beat out all the other ones as the strongest Mage? Idk?

I lol'd.

Here's a personal story for you: Horntail isn't "fun". I was invited to exactly two runs, first one in which I dc'd during first head when everyone started attacking at the same time (no 10sec wait like in Zak), and second one, I actuall made it to second pre-head before DCing. All you do is sit there and kill spawn while your NL/BM/Warrior friends attack. Usually you have to watch your own HP cuz even though the bishops are spamming heal, your MP bar goes down rapidly. I died at the second prehead from lag. Guess what I heard on vent: "Don't even bother ressing him. He's just a mage. Save your res for later when we need it. We'll have the bishops to clear the spawn."

I'm sure IL mages are even worse on this respect because at least FP mages have an elemental advantages against the wyverns. If anything, IL is far from the strongest mage. I'm not biased. Just look at Time Temple (regrets is fire weak, oblivion is ice neutral), CWKPQ (2 out of the three bottom bosses are fire weak), Bigfoot (ice immune); the list goes on and on. ILs are the same as FPs in terms of ultimate damage with the exception that Blizzard freezes (which becomes useless when you 1hko what you're killing), but they are weaker than FPs on single-target DPS, which means overall they are weaker.

And really? You're a 200 Bishop and you don't know how HT works. Hmm...


@below: Doesn't matter. You'd still know what they do if you're not one.
