Then again there is a super damage bug going around, but my point still stands.
Like everyone else said: This is not a standard "mage = all INT" game.
Still my "superior" mage was more than fine until this bug. So, I guess, this is not a question of balance.
The "mediocre" mages were also doing just fine until the bug. It isn't a question of balance, it's just that there is a bug and it effects all classes equally, so there was no reason to bring "this class should be made like X because that's how it is in every game" into it.
That and your OP was incredibly ignorant and demanding as if you were expecting there to be absolutely no bugs of any type in the game.
