Mages don't have the same survivability as Heroes. Magic Guard is limited by Arch Mages' low HP. My level 185 Bishop has about 2.3k base HP, meaning it can tank 11.5k damage. I'm sure most Heroes have more HP at that level before HP washing. It's easy for a Hero to wash to 30k HP with HB. If an Arch Mage wants to tank 30k damage, they'd need 3750 HP without HB, which is pretty hard for them to obtain. Plus, Heroes have PG and Achilles, whereas Arch Mages have zero defensive skills.
I think Arch Mages should place slightly above Heroes in DPS. IMO both classes are very similar: no party buffs, but are great tanks and can deal high damage. Sure, Arch Mages train better but in terms of bossing they have a harder time surviving and are less useful. Heroes have Rush which is very useful at mobile bosses.
Anyways, from the looks of things, Evans are the next lolclass. Does Nexon really think that Magical Resistance is so useful that they didn't buff Evans AT ALL? -_-
