400 damage to what? One target? Who cares? A mage could crowd-control 4 targets, deal 500 damage to 5 other targets, each, and then lastly teleport out of harm's way in the one turn it took you to swing (and probably miss) that 400 damage.
Additionally, your anecdotal evidence is not how you reason an argument. You should pick one of my points and actually explain how it is incorrect. You'll notice every one of my points is specific, factual, and falsifiable, so which ones are wrong?
