Preliminary Alpha 2 Mage Feedback

Member, Alpha Two
I know that Alpha 2 hasn't even begun yet, but after looking at the abilities of the Mage, I have some initial feedback I'd like to provide and get opinions on, this will be general feedback on the Mage archetype.
There are simply too many Mage abilities and status effects. It feels like they've created a meta build, which will be Lightning/Frost, then added Fire and Earth in just to give the illusion of choice. While this is jumping the gun in terms of timeline, I don't believe Earth or Fire will be utilized nearly to the degree that Lightning or Frost will.
While I understand the risk vs. reward sentiment, the Mage feels like it needs at least one DCD. The entirety of it's defensive toolkit consisting of a mid range teleport and a bubble that only protects from Magic based attacks is simply insufficient. It's will be entirely too squishy and it needs at least one DCD to have some kind of defense.

Can you elaborate on what makes you feel this way?
Probably the mage review he stated lol, his not wrong but at the same time we need to see more of the class before we can make the judgements
I have a hard time seing how you got there. We really have not gotten a lot of info, we scratched the surface. Earth and fire might have been developed a bit later than lightning, but thats just the cycle of how they develop. Why do you think one build is strong then the ohter?
