Are there any dungeons made for war mages?

Question Title: Are there any dungeons made for war mages?
Category: Dungeons
Question: I know that there are many dungeons that are designed for warriors and some, like the ore dungoens, are impossible for a pure mage due to the hollow weapons. I've been told that BSD favors mages, but when I've been in there, UA regularly take kills from me. Besides, you have to mostly use life magic to survive in there.

So, are there any dungeons that favor war mages? If not, are there any being made??

Answer: As far as I know, no one goes out of their way to design dungeons "for" or "against" given classes. The chorizite mines are rather anti-mage, but since it's a melee quest, you'd expect that.

You could argue that the Herald dungeon is for war mages, since the shadow Black Breath gets most of the kills, carries the loot key, and is essentially immune to melee and ranged combat.

I'm working on a quest (originally intended for January, but knocked back to February because of the vacation week in December) that is designed specifically for specialized War Mages. It's a safe bet that there will be creatures involved that are invulnerable to melee, archery, and drains.
