i only read the first post. but really you cant be a proper mage if you cant defeat rogues in movement fights,. mages are the strongrest once in dose fights as fire. and one of the strongest non movement fight as arcane. you cant play your class if you say this, this just make me sad.
im playing mage and they are just fine as they are so this is just a pathtic excuse for not be abel to play your class correctly.
Ps: sorry for spell/gramar mistakes
