Beginner Mage Tips/Builds?

Hey everyone, I recently started playing Toram and im loving it, especially when I play it with friends.
I have reached lvl36 on archer, but I don't like it and created a mage character.
I know that you're all gonna say that i should stick with archer, but nah, maybe after i get bored of mage.

But the only things I know is that I have to max INT and DEX in that order, and nothing else.
So I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips, like what skills to max, what equipment is good when you just started..

And what is the difference between staff and magic device?

Thanks in advance everyone!

 

With mage you use magic devices to farm as it increases range but decreases damage
And staff smaller range better damage

Staff and shield is quite typical of a mage ^^

Skills you definitly want are ~
Lvl.7 Magic Impact ~ at this lvl it has no cast time
Lvl.10 Storm ~ main farming tool and good dps
Lvl.5 - 10 Magic Arrows ~ mix ups and not bad skill
Lvl.10 Mp Charge ~ quick mp charge
Rest are ok recommend you only bump to lvl.5 for requirements

 

Thanks a lot dude^^ I think I might be using the mdev then.. I like range tbh.. And proc sounds good

Ah, and what about MATK? Do I really need it or I can go without it? Lel
Bc i have negative MATK, like -100, and I wanted to get a ring that gives +1000 MP but lowers the MATK. So Im kinda confused

 

For stats i recommend going full int for damage
Then after maxed either go into dex for better damage or vitality for more hp ^^

I personally went vitality after int and focused on some buffs like bless and gloria

Personally i find this the most effective mage as it means you are well rounded in ranks apart from breaker rank

 

So you think that a staff is better than MDEV to like, farm bosses? And I still dont get how MATK works

 

That ring is good for farming with storm as storm eats mp but wouldnt use it for tougher mobs or boss battles

 

Definitly staff + sub weapon normally shield although some use others
Magic device keep in inventory and equip when you need to farm mats for exp quests ^^

When farming exp mats just spam storm and mp charge a lot ^^

 

Although some people make magic device sets overall its used a lot less ^ although some builds do exist just have a little look around really

 

Its because as staff, I have Morning Star... Dropped from a monster.. It gives -1200 MATK

 

Archers uses physical skills and their main DPS skill is probably snipe which can do up to 100k damage, and furthermore, there's a bow skills revamp recently. Mages can level up more easily through farming parties as mages are often invited due to their aoe skills, wall, impact and storm. Mages uses magic skills and can help parties with proration. Md (which is mostly used for farming) has weaker attack, but has a larger aoe, while staff has a smaller aoe but higher attack and is mostly used in boss fights.

 

Theres better staffs out there... why stuck up on morning star

 

If it has any mp boosts maybe use for farming mobs but if not i wouldnt use it ^^

 

That "staff" is only useful against golden potum which is extremely weak against -ve matk characters

 

Dropped from a lvl42 miracle potum.. Lol... It was such a long fight

 

It will be easy once you are higher leveled^^

 

Good body armor for mage?

 

Get better staff lol that staff is for tank/mercs not for dps mage

 

Idk for what staff to go.. I replaced it with minotaur staff for now
