Interesting to see that I never updated this map once since its release, but that aside now.
I had another look at this map and I remember I had made mage weak early game intentionally due to the huge increase in damage it gets later on, but on second look it is too weak to perform semi decently and rounds take too long to complete, so this update will focus on giving mage class a bit of power in the early game to help more easily reach the later powerspikes.
On another note, this is also a good chance to bring up this post where you can see all the modified projectiles in the map.

Melee class seems solid so no changes will be made there, mage was struggling early so hopefully these changes make the class more bearable and slightly stronger in early game, or at least make rounds 6-10 not last 10+ minutes each.
Also a personal tip, if you have mana issues then I recommend buying mana since it is rather cheap in this map (4 mana for 444, into 40 mana for every 4,440 points)
