Today I came up with a thought, one that I don't recall was ever brought up before. My question is, "Is mage over powered, should it be as weak as ranged and melee?"
Well it's very simple to answer: Is the game still fun? If it is, then a mage is not over-powered.
I play with a mage in my party and the game is still fun, so for me, they're not over-powered in that way. When I've come across mage bad-guys I still have fun, so they're not over-powered there either for me.
What about mages is resulting in them ruining your fun?
You mention hit chance, but this can't be the only reason can it? Non-mage characters still have plenty of skills that give a guarenteed hit so just use them instead if you have a problem. Or you can use buffs/debuffs to modify the hit chances.
Other people seem to be fine with the hit chances, so maybe it's there's a PBKAC rather than with mages?
