The mage is a caster that specializes in burst damage and area of effect spells. His primary role in a group at lower levels is damage dealing and crowd control through the use of Polymorph. At end-game levels, the role of the mage expands into DPS/Utility, as many encounters in the game are difficult to finish without Counterspell, Remove Curse, and Spellsteal. The mages' utility spells also include conjuring food and drink and the ability to teleport to major cities and open portals for party members. In PvP combat, the mage deals ranged magic damage while using escape skills to avoid taking damage during combat. His primary stats are intellect, stamina, spell power, spell crit, spell hit rating and spell haste (the order of importance varies with the player's role).
