Quick Mage Vocation Guide

Your Job
Mages, as casters, deal ranged burst damage and have the widest array of support spells and is the only class with healing magic. Their wealth of bolstering and curing spells can be mixed with a moderate magic offensive, and are the only class with access to the only spell in the game that directly heals HP, Anodyne. This effectively makes them the only Vocation of being dedicated healers, and is one of the Vocations best suited to act as a support and healing unit.
Skill Overview
- Staff Skills: All of their active skills, including elemental ranged burst attacks, spells that bolster attributes, cure debilititations, and heal.
- Core Skills: Passive skills that improve or grant attack patterns, the ability to float, and so on.
- Augments: Passive skills that can be set regardless of current Vocation.

Suggested Support
Mages can deal low-to-moderate DPS at best and are extremely fragile, meaning a melee-focused Pawn is desperately desirable, and a DPS Pawn highly preferable. Their range alone makes them able to substitute DPS for a drawn-out battle if played correctly, thus making a DPS unit not absolutely necessary; a melee unit, though, is nearly suicide to not have.

Mage Stat Growth

The Mage focuses on Magick offense and defense, with weakness in Physical Offense, Defense and Stamina. It is noteworthy that Mages have the lowest cumulative Stamina growth of all Vocations, and has very poor comparative hit point and Stamina growth from level 10-100. Evolve to Sorcerer as soon as you can.
