  With the recent KR update, all speed enhancement for magic, including elemental masteries, weapon masteries, reforges, vivace, etc. now stack.
  
  These are just small examples of what mages can now do. =)

  Finally. I was a bit disappointed not to see FB exhibited though. I hope to high heaven this doesn't get nerfed...

  Mother of God, Guile's Theme really does go with everything.

  This might make magic slightly useful. We'll see.

  Mages will be back in the game soon.

  I know right? It's awesome!

  This opens up many possibilities.
  
  Shockwave - > Fast Cast...
  
  Or fast enough to hold multi aggro, which means mages can now hold on their own.
  
  While their damage is behind, there are some fun things:
  
  - Ideally, Full Charged Fireball is roughly 7-8 seconds... Meaning you can do fireball - > instant cast
  
  - Thunder charges almost as fast as that ice spear you saw.
  
  - Firebolt can crit 14k~18k damage WHILE loading at 0.8 seconds... so if you have +4 chain cast, you can spam firebolt against an enemy to the wall.
  
  - Hailstorm loads the ball faster.
  
  
  Also, there's a new magic formula in which ALL magic damage has been buffed (with the exception of blaze). Dunno what the formula is, but it's pretty nice. Also, speed reforge > damage reforge for wands in the future.
  
  Regardless what I say, magic is still far from the other skillsets that have elemental reforges in the damage department, but they're slowly fine tuning.
  
  We will see how devCat will go from here.

  I just want to express my hype more explicitly.

  Mages were never supposed to be fast, in my opinion. Long charges, High damage.

  That's the problem though. Since then, what was once considered high damage is now subpar damage. So now mages only have long charges in a game that has decided to become more fast-paced. Making everything faster hasn't just become the better choice; it's pretty much become the only choice.

  That looks so god dam broken its not even funny.....
  
  I hope they add a miss system like archery if they plan on actually doing this.

  This looks amazing, it makes me want actually continue working with magic skills.
  Too bad there's going to be a bunch of people bitching about how 'unfair' this is when this reaches NA though.

  /uses evasion to dodge 5 bolts at onces
  /gets hit by the next 40 bolts and adv spells which charge almost as fast
  
  I kinda want to see what Keaporoo can do with that firewand of his. Or what other mages who take the time to speed cast those new cc4 firewands...
  
  This girl in a vid was hitting 4k not crit firebolts on everything in shadow wiz.
  4k-4k-4k-4k-4k-4k-4k-4k-4k-crit10k-10k
  
  Why use anything else?
