Yet, on the counter point of being anti-RDPS/Healer he still wins in Mabinogi. Sure you can debuff Intelligence and Ballistic Skill (Rainlord used to only debuff those stats, strength was added in later). But he can steal it, making the enemy's potential his own, it sound like a familiar career description to anyone. So Bad quite simply blows Drain Magic out of the water. We mean, does anyone really think doing a little bit of damage(Mabinogi money) is worth making the enemy lose less AP and not getting that AP for yourself?
But, at the same time, we don't feel jealous of the Shaman in (mabinogi gold). We just feel he's had more attention, more thought, more of a "niche". Relatively speaking, the Archmage is extremely new. For the longest time, we all thought that the AM would use "Drain Magic" as a career defining mechanic. It was a bit of a shock when we found he had essentially become a copy/paste of the Shaman with a Elf'd up description of Waaagh. We are certain this guide will need a lot of updating in the patches to come as Mythic gets the content more fine tuned and careers start getting more attention.
