Why Does the Mage Have the Fewest Skills?

Blip

I was surprised to see that the Mage class has the fewest skills. As someone who enjoys playing as a Mage, this was pretty disappointing. Traditionally, Mages are known for their versatility and wide array of abilities, which makes them one of the most engaging classes to play. The idea of a Mage with a rich variety of spells and skills is central to what makes the class exciting and fun.

I believe many Mage players would agree that having a more expansive skill set would not only make the class more interesting but also align with the expectations of how Mages are typically portrayed in RPGs. Mages should feel powerful and versatile, offering a diverse toolkit to adapt to different situations.

At the very least, I was hoping for more depth in the Mage’s skill tree. I think adding a few more skills or improving the variety would make a big difference for players like me who want that complex and strategic gameplay experience.

Bard feels the most developed of them. The other classes need another pass to bring them up to the Bard's level.
Remember the max level currently 25, with different specs and path so as not to have all the skills. Bard feels like the only class truly at 25 with full choice - the others feel like they are 'locked in' to one path (except mage which feels like its locked into being a generalist - it needs about double the amount of skills for each element)
