The cooldown to ultimates is only 30 seconds.
And magicians are given new skills in 4th job, or have skills upgrades to be useful. Like Big Bang(the skill). Now it attacks, what, 5 times? Use that a couple of times and bam- ultimate again. Chain lightning is also way more useful and powerful. So there you go. Two improved skills to waste that 30 second cooldown.

Feels like you're responding to my sleepywood thread here.
Anyway, chain lightning and big bang don't hit 15 monsters for massive damage. They're not weak, and they're great skills in their own right, but you can't stand in one spot and spam them till the cows come home. Forcing mages to use other skills besides their ults puts them on the level of all of the other classes in terms of training speed and ability to leech others.
Ults > other skills pre-BB.

Well yes of course, but mages were way over-powered and were the #1 easiest class to level up in. And that's a teensy problem  every class should be equally balanced with one another. So then your choice of class just depends on your preferred gameplay style.

I wasn't saying that it should be that way, or that I liked, just that that's how it is.

Though you have to remember Ultimates are going to increase in Damage so you might do 1 everything 30 seconds and 1 shot everything sooner

It should be a 1hko if I can only do it twice a minute.

Red Dragon Turtles give me 10% every 15 minutes. Even though the EXP seems rather slow, I have fun training there so I don't really notice it all that much.

at 97 with my sniper I calculated:
78% per hour at Lab 202
105% per hour at roids MD
The map distribution and the spawn in the roid MD is just way too good for arrow eruption/blizzard combo, so it ends up being faster even if they give less exp than homunculus.

About 70% from 85 minutes of work on x2.
I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but that seems kinda slow. Especially on x1. Just sayin'

I got around 88%/hr partying with a Priest and Wind Archer at Captain&Kru at 105 as a Wild Hunter. The priest was a friend helping me out, so I doubt there'd be any random priests willing to party at that map.
Gonna try the minidungeon today on my own and see how that is (I'm 107 now). I'm curious as to what other places there are for me until I get to Dual level (114?)...
