В процессе New Balance - Dark Mage needs buff.

[LazyAlpha]

1. I have read that D.Mage cant learn secondary magic from guardians WHY THE F***? tell me why .
2. Early game is so bad it makes me tear up - i dont know about late game yet im only 3rd circle
2+. At least let us stack tick damage like gurus poison bite. <- IMPORTANT
3. Special skills of D.Mage tought by Xardas are useless - extreme low ammount of new dialogues
4. Mind control is trash in compare to necromancer summons
5. 100% intelligence scaling. Or 120%
6. Lower mana cost of every spell
7. Built-in mana regen like guru
8. Give him servant like seeker - ranged attacks - works like Dark Knights pet

Dark Mage is extremely bad in compare to guru / fire / necro
Did you forget about that guild?
Its disgusting how bad this guild is.
Or am i doing something wrong?
What is good about this guild?

I think, dark mage is just different.
Its not about DPS(at least till Urizel rune). Damage over time, ignoring all resistances.
Start was rather rough(Like most of mages). 1-by-1 you can win enyone(if you brave enough). Gallahad's wolfies helped with couple of bosses. Just to save time. Acrobatics helped much more.
Just cast your best spell, dodge, dodge, duck. Repeat. Time concuming, but effective.
+ Uniquie dialogues.
Have not used mind control. When You get it, you can't use it. When You can - You don't need it.
So, IMHO Dark Mage is solid and unique class to play.

@LazyAlpha,
1) Dark Mage has own strong magic, new builds have its limits.
2) Guru poison? What rune exactly?
3) Well, they give you stats, not much, but it it ok.
4) Mind Control is great, but it was nerfed, cause it was very easy.
5) 5-7. All mages have to up mana
8) Why? Dark mage is not about summons, it is about control or aggro or runes.

Many players said DM is too op. Why do you thinks he is weak?

DM has strong runes (with dots which can ignore magic resist), can aggro enemies to kill each other, to control some creatures (need INT)

2) This is needed very much. At least to save our time

@LazyAlpha, I get it. But it woule be too op if I add stack. I will add some god's gift for DM I guess for control and stuff.
