is it actually any build out there more then bleeding edge build who can play this game?

i tried a shadow mage build, utterly useless
elemental mage, utternly useless
bow aliment, sure does dmg when bodies expload but cant rly kill bosses.....
gunmage - utterly useless, sure it can work up to map 140 but above that its utterly useless

so right now the only build who can actually do endgame contest of map 189 is actually a bleeding edge build around other melees

where is the actually love for other classes then just nerf the only class who actually had an endgame instead of making other builds useful?

whats the point of staff? i mean since it arnt even adding any special to mages damage then the normal stats who can be found on 1h wep/catalyst?

why im asking is because right now i sit here and trying to figurate who can actually be able to anything, i mean everything seem to be built around "aliment damage or you will be totaly useless", there seem to be 1 focus on build or your fucked
