Archmages - Forever useless at bosses?

Despite all your opinions, these new monsters & bosses with their elementals were created because JMS/KMS/Others feel their AM are already balanaced. That is with their elemental weapons & lack of onyx apples for weapon classes. When GMS brings these new maps & monsters/bosses over, that's were the imbalance is, which is lack of elemental weapons here & an abundance of onyx apples. The problem is more with GMS, and i think we know they won't do anything about it. Even with the introduction of elemental weapons, 25% increase is nothing compared to the use of onyx apples, coupled with the elemental strengths of the new bosses

There is a flaw in your plan here.

jMS created these weapons.

kMS created this boss.

kMS clearly was going to do something about it, but jMS wouldn't wait for them to act. Now jMS's actions are leaving Magicians with 25% more damage than kMS has designed the boss to be fair with.

In effect, the scale was imbalanced:

jMS gave something to Mages to balance it:

Then, kMS, not having jMS's balance fix, fixed it in another way for them:

Eventually, kMS's fix will hit jMS, even when jMS was already rebalanced. This will leave things like this:

The whole thing about Mages being behind will be knocked out by Time Temple. There will be high level elemental weakness, there will be a boss where Mages are needed. And that is WITHOUT a 25% boost in damage. Seriously folks, did you see what I said about DPS? You can hit 6 things and do 60k DPS. Easily. WITHOUT ELEMENTAL ADVANTAGE OR SUMMON. The only place a Mage lacks is in single target, but that doesn't even matter... with this boss, a Mage's single target will even look favorable compared to every other class's damage being cut while theirs is super effective. 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.
