    This build is modify from SirEGG "Egg's Gandalf the gay shield mage", I really appreciate can learn his build. Thank you.
    Also this build is an improvement of Angelus build.

    Introduce
    Nowadays, most of the mage int>vit, and this build is just suitable for them. But kinda different is this build still rely on cspd, which mean Granny xtal or Queen staff is NG to this build. Honestly, our damage is less than finale main mage, but our survivability make us totally different. We can be tank and still deal tone of damage, P.def is our life saver skill. Even all of the party member is down, we still can continue our job: tank boss, revive member and do DPS.
    As SirEgg build, this build doesn't rely on normal attack for prorate but martial skill for proration, with the help of armor break, quick draw and 1mp combo, we
    barely facing mana problem, except we spam finale combo. We also can experience how fun to be a breaker, disturbing and canceling boss combo in most of the time.
    Conclusion: This build is suit to people who love a
    multi-role in parties or soloing boss

    Roles
    DPS/Tank/Solo/Support
    Status
    Max intelligence, rest all vit
    Or Max intelligence, rest half Dex and Vit

    Skills
    SUGGEST STAR GEM:
    First aid 10 (cost 1)
    Play dead 10 (cost 1)
    Shukuchi 1 (cost 3)
    Reflex 1 (cost 1)

    Shukuchi make us more mobility
    First aid and play dead is very useful in parties.

    Basic Skills = Black
    Important Skills = Red
    Optional Skills = Green
    MAGIC SKILL TREE (SP 105~110):
    Arrows 5
    Javelin 5
    ~ 10
    Lance 5
    Impact 10
    Finale 10

    Wall 5
    Blast 5

    Storm 10
    Burst 10
    Magic Mastery 10
    Mp Charge 10

    Chain cast 5
    Power wave 5

    Maximizer 10

    MARTIAL SKILL TREE (SP 21) :
    Smash 6
    Bash 5
    Shell Break 10

    SHIELD SKILL TREE (SP 6 ~46):
    Shield Mastery 5
    Shield Bash 1
    Protection 10
    Aegis 10
    Force shield 10
    Magical shield 10


    PRIEST SKILL TREE (SP 1) :
    Bless 1

    KNIGHT SKILL TREE (SP 20 ~30) :
    Assault Attack 5
    Parry 5

    P. Defense 10

    SHOT SKILL TREE (SP 20) :

    Quick Draw 10

    SURVIVAL SKILL TREE (SP 30) :
    Safe Rest 5
    HP Boost 10
    Short Rest 5
    MP Boost 10


    BATTLE SKILL TREE (SP 30 ~ 40):
    Magic up 10
    Concentrate 5 ~ 10
    Desperate resist 5
    Increased energy 10

    Rest SP = Total SP (224) - Basic SP (197)
    = 27 SP

    Imo Force shield and Magical shield is way better than HP boost, cause the resistance makes us more tanky.
    Javelin have high chance for long range flinch, good to cancel boss combo in range.
    For me,
    Assault atk is a good escape skill for some aoe, and I use this to chase can teleport bosses (eg.Twilight Dragon, Ultimea machina), so I don't use it as starter.
    Combo
    Not much, just 3 set:
    1. Breaker combo: we usually use and spam.
    2. Burst combo: our main damage when we tank
    3. Finale combo: spam this when have real tank
    All the 3 combo total up for
    18 ~ 20CP.

    1. Breaker Combo (1mp)

    For DPS:
    Assault atk / Smash > Shell Break (save) > Shield Bash (swift) > Impact (cons) > Storm (smite) > Finale (smite)
    [Storm :
    130%]
    [CP :
    10]

    For fast reaction but no damage, can be this:
    Smash > Shell Break (save) > Shield Bash (swift) > Impact (cons/swift) > 2mp skill (smite)
    [CP : 6]

    *If use swift impact then just end with impact*
    2. Burst Combo (5mp)
    Impact > Burst (smite) > Finale (smite) / P.def (cons)
    [Burst :
    150%]
    [CP :
    4]
    Use this combo after
    twice breaker combo or use another 1 or 2 magic skill, we need need the stack and made burst be instant cast.

    3. Finale Combo (10/11mp)
    Arrow / Bless / Wall / Reflex > Impact (cons) > Finale (smite) > Shell Break (cons)
    [CP : 6]
    Strongly suggest use
    no range limit skill as starter, cause we can stay far long away like more than 12m and cast the first 2 skill and look for a good timing to use finale.
    *This only suitable when aggro not on us*


    Equipment:
    Weapon
    High attack staff with state +7% int, m.atk and + 14 int
    If don't have money, NPC craft 3rd anniversary staff VII is good

    Sub-weapon:

    For a new player, it's best you make one character reach lvl 150 as quick as possible. If it's possible don't use mage as storm can be hard to accept in a party these days.

    Tbh this build is quite messy. I'm building a mage shield atm so I can understand how this build somehow failed. Sorry for my blunt and rude language though. Here's a major list:
    1) If you want to use p def, you only need it at lvl 1 as mage shield can only be a semi tank not a pure tank.(You have wasted 9sp)
    2) You don't need quick draw since u don't use any long combo. Only impact>finale(smite)>any is useful these days. (You have wasted 20sp)
    3) Chocolate ooze xtal isn't useful at all for this build. In fact it destroys the build. Increase cspd but our main dps skill finale doesn't need cspd. Plus the fact it decrease 10% hp (15% if it's upgraded) is already crystal clear that this xtal isn't helping at all.
    4) I don't know about storm or burst since mage these days only use finale. So it's best to save sp for more versatile skills. I only use storm for luk mage.
    5) You don't need shukuchi at all since you already have power wave. It's best to invest in a support skill named recovery. Lvl 1 is enough. (Hard to get since you need a lvl 10 mini heal star gem to get it.) Recovery can help remove 1 ailment, if no ailment atm it can be a buff to prevent one. It's also insta-cast, perfect for anyone using queen potum staff (-9999 cspd).

    I kinda want to try your build but i have some question
    Is this build expensive to follow? I mean do i need good gear to get the full output of this build or cheap gear is fine? Im a free player so this is kinda important to me

    This build can ditch alot of skills, and needs sneak, the finale combo is lowering dps if thats the only combo used, and all mages should use gsw, forget all builds, be a burger mage today

    Don't worry, I'm not here for argument it's for discuss
    I know wat you mean, but as my introduce say, this build is for multi-role play in party and for solo. Do u really think just only finale skill can fb and solo?
    1. I max p.def for that 10% heal also generate some aggro if you wanna save that 9sp is up to you though
    2. Sometime, quick draw for that 1mp is for my breaker combo or p.def, my breaker combo can heal at least 4 to 5mp which mean I can use another burst combo. Also this combo really save me for a lot time though.
    3. As my introduce say, this build is totally different to finale mage. I need the cspd for my burst combo.
    4. I also have a build for just focus on finale though, my luck mage also max storm and finale.
    5. You are right, recovery star gem is better pick though.
    I'm using shukuchi cause this is more way fun, also after I'm casting wall>impact and boss run away, I can use shukuchi and dash to 8m and continue my finale cast though.

    I don't using sneak cause this is for semi tank build, not for sneaky mage (I also have another sneaky finale)
    Btw, wasn't gsw will end the effect if we get attack?

    Actually this build also works very well in cheap gear though, before i get all this 2slot equipment in just using all element weapon. I used to be just using Sage staff, albero shield, nightcap, magic talisman IV but I forget my armor =.= But it still can be a tank and do damage.
    Weapon can be 3rd anniv staff VII, Dia staff and other else have good buff or element
    Shield can using 3rd anniv shield VII, coffin shield, black knight shield, dark general shield, zahhak shield
    I suggested armor is holy robe from boss, but it's really rare to get
    Additional can like nightcap, monocle, tyrant grievance, devil hood

    Mhm i think i use light armour, but any more def etc would be kinda wasted as that amount of def already gives me +20% resist, def/mdef work differently in this game because it only affects resistance % and past around 225 etc u need more and more def just for +1%_resistance

    Imo that shukuchi is a good extra, coz it can help u move faster to avoid some attacks or dash to chase the boss. U just need a good timing tho.

    Btw, never use it before I just like the idea lol.
