in god there are class roles, not balance. Not all classes are the same, and not all classes have the same roles.
For more about class roles, read here:
https://lineage2ertheia.com/forum/guides/class-guide-on-www-lineage2ertheia-com/M atk does not mean damage, it is just a factor, some raids have more magical defense, other more physical defense.
Feoh Mages are damage dealers, but in order to maximize your damage output , you should maximize the critical damage, since most buffs do not give resistancec to it, which can result in a much higher DPS.
ALso, you are making the big mistake of comparing physical damage to magical damage in terms of values, which is completly irrelevant.
Also you are discounting the weapon type you use, and the PVE bonus different weapons might give. 10% PVE bonus is much higher then 10% M atk for ex.
No raids are bugged, you simply do not understand how damage output works. Saying a raid is bugged because you think you're damage is lower with mage then with a fighter eviscerator for ex, is misleading and wrong. Raids have different magical and physical defenses, is not all the same. EX: if you make 10 hit of 5000 damage every 100 seconds, is still lower then making 100 hits of 2000 dmg every 100 .
You are looking at it wrong. ALSO Mages are PVP Chars not PVE chars, and here raids as a whole are not weal to magical damage, u can see raid stats by using shift+click.
