I have a Mage in full t3 gear who has about 35k mana. One cast of the nuke spell mages get puts her under 30%. I haven't bothered to farm mana augs or mana regen augs yet, but even in t3 gear she can use the spell once. The Necro spell is a bit better, but the damage it does is about 5000 per cast and takes roughly 12% of her 42k mana. The term "Casters" was given to silk classes a long time ago on live and I'm simply used to referring to classes as melee, hybrid, priest, and caster. Melee encompasses warriors, zerkers, rogues, and monks. Hybrid incorporates beastlords, sks, palys, bards, and rangers. Priests are Druids, Shamans, and Clerics, while Casters are Mages, Necros, Wizards, and Enchanters.

I'm used to referring to them as int casters, wis casters and hybrids.

Hence the term "caster" in my vocabulary refers to both.

Regardless - I like the idea of the repeating spell augs, but keep in mind that a 4.0 has three slots. Supposing that stacks, then a wizard with three V augs, will nuke once for 3x5x750k damage, or a whooping 11.250 million damage, every, lets say one minute.
That's 180k dps right there, or 375k dps if you manage to cast it every 30 seconds, or 750k dps every 15 seconds, so three enchanters with manafeed and all doppelgangers and three wizards of this caliber could probably do MCP in, lets see, 1 minute flat (or 5*3*11.25 mill damage, or 168 mill damage) (I hope so, because that's when the doppelgangers start poofing lol), and would be entirely ready to go 2 minutes after for another one.

Oops.
