Mage

The Mage class encompasses a wide variety of different characters and playstyles, but they can all be united under one class by their shared reliance on abilities and ability damage.

Mages, in general, are ranged characters that use their powerful and impactful abilities to deal magic damage and prvide utlity from range. Mages tend to specialize in burst-oriented damage, because of the realitvely high cooldowns on their high inpact abilities. This can change from mage to mage, however.

Damage: Mages deal moderate to high magic burst damage via their abilities. This means their damage tends to be restricted by cooldowns, making cooldown reduction a highly coveted stat for mages.

Utility: Mages provide medium to high utility.

Durability/Sustain: As a long range damaging class, mages tend to lack direct durability or sustain. They usually make up for this with crowd control that allows them to peel enemies off of them.
