I tried to analyze and 2 armageddons + 1 decent level black hole were worth about 1800 damage at most and that's the best a mage can show for.

Huh? I do over 3500 dmg/spell from my fire rains (haven't got lvl 3 armageddon so can't compare, but should be even higher and I still got low int - 28 - for a mage) and can usually do a 30%/20 rage soul drain with reaper. My problem right now (lvl 24/impossible) is that I've come to a point where I'm getting toasted by:

a) Dragons with tons of fire/magic resistance
b) Demons with fire resistance
c) Karador on sheer numbers

The ugliest stack I've come across so far has been 33000 HP (dryads) and 20000+ HP dragon stacks. I run myself dry on mana (source of magic doesn't get you that far in my experience) and it all goes to shit. Too bad I stupidly spent my crystals since I got the arma scroll, with that I could probably at least get further taking some heavy losses.
