He looks bad because bamo and advantage are soooooooooo damn good.
And season 1 might have = low resil bad gear where you were playing, but I assure you the #1 teams in the BG that contained at the time Glorin, Spoh, Minti, Neilyo, etc were not playing against people with bullshit gear. I know, I was there (not #1, but top 10, and at one point with winning records against everyone above us including the #1 team at the time which was spriest/lock when I had no SR).
Some of it is right at the end of S1, some of it is early S2. Not sure when the nova nerf was, but pretty sure it was before this footage.
Did you not catch the point of the warrior pally match? It was not to show how amazing they are, it was showing what a complete joke war/pally was against mage teams (hence the zoom-in on the 5+ cleanses without getting poly off). It was flat out not possible to beat them with war/pally without one of them disconnecting or something, that was a statement on how ridiculous it was that people cried so much about them. (hell I lost to 1 pally ever after getting 1900 as lock/pally and finally respeccing holy, and he wasn't even with a warrior)
Watch the whole video. If you actually pay close attention to high end pvp, you'll recognize major players on the worldwide scene in almost every fight. Of course, "warrior/shaman lol?" tells us that you don't, but that's another story.
Anyway, point is mages have never been underpowered in pvp, period. I could care less about raid dps.
edit: Oh and btw, you have nothing to worry about, Kalgan is playing a mage now, all your dreams will come true.
