    "HOLY &/*$, A WIZARD DOING KUNG-FU"
    BUILD RATING :
    DPS : ☆☆☆☆☆
    Survivability : ☆☆☆☆
    Breaker : ☆☆☆
    Aggro : ☆☆☆☆
    Support : ☆☆☆☆
    I am aware that there are similar shield mages guides and builds out there but most are out-dared so here I am to introduce a version I personally had thought with , and with the lvl cap reaching 120 , it made this possible.


    Introduction
    This build centers around on being a well rounded class , It doesnt rely on normal hits to prorate but rather uses martial skills for proration, and with the help of shellbreak , quickdraw ,and 1mp combos , you'd rarely experience having mana problems. It also have as twice or more survivability as compare to pure dps mages while having 90-95% of their matk and on top of that , it also have a fairly high cspd , and lastly it has the capability to provide damage reduction buffs for you and your party, and by having guardian in your combos, you'll experience a more than 50% guard rate and of course higher aggro to help you in times of requiring to tank. Ultimately this build caters to people who loves soloing and also to those who loves having multi-roles in parties.
    Weapon : Staff + Shield(Sub)
    Lvl : 140
    Stats : 255 INT & 118 VIT

    Combos
    The combos of shield mage are usually segregated into three parts , one for the combos we usually use , the other one is for burst , and the laat one is for guardian rebuffing. All in all the 3 combos would total up for 18CP - 20CP.
    Primary Combo
    This shall serve as a standard universal combo composition to those who follows this particular guide.
    *swift the 1mp fillers when you are doing short runs , and use cons if you are doing a long run)

    Arrow / Smash > Shell Break (save) > Shield Bash (swift) > 1MP Filler/None (cons or swift) > Impact (cons) > Storm (smite) > 1MP Filler/Javelin (cons or swift)
    [MP : 100 ~ 300]
    [Arrow : 100% , Storm : 130% ~ 150%]
    [CP : 10 ~12]


    Secondary Combos
    Always set these combos as your secondary combo after making 1 standard combo based on above's composition ,

    Burst Combo :
    Use this combo at the start of a short run in order to take advantage of the fresh proration.
    *avoid using at long runs to preserve mp*

    Impact > Storm (smite) > Holy Fist/ P. Defense (cons)
    [MP : 400]
    [Storm : 150%]
    [CP : 4]

    Guardian Rebuff Combo :

    This is the combo that you'll use whenever you wanna rebuff guardian and also provides good aggro for a short period of time.
    *remember to only use this once your guardian buff expires ,which is 40s, in order for the guardian skill to provide aggro*
    *You don't have to necessarily use this combo on short runs*

    Sonic Wave > Guardian (save) > Shell Break (smite)
    [MP : 100]
    [CP : 4]

    Basically an upgrade of the former but albeight different at the same time , old angelus was kinda dps oriented and neglecting important shield skills like protection and aegis which kinda moved further away from the original purpose of the build, this time I wanted a shield + mage with the original purpose of being well-rounded.

    name suggestion:
    TEAOM = The Everything At Once Magician

    apparently it uses every popular mainstream skill except snipe and strike stab, but i guess you would add them if you could :p

    They are mainstream for a reason, I only added the most efficient skills that are worth the most to spend sp for.

    Well aggro for me right now is one of the least priorities , and im trying to squeeze in aggro without sacrificing that much.
    My stat priorities are like this :
    Matk > HP > 700+CSPD > 1k+Mana > Resistances > Guard rate & power > Aggro

    As of now i am happy with my matk , hp , cspd , mana ,and resistances and guard rate but my guard power is standing at 18% so I don't really feel contented with it , though I can op to have a spare boss drop marble shiels for +12% aggro. Guardian is enough to at least hold aggro for non heavy spammers.

    Nice build egg, nice seeing more martial mages around.
    I got the same kinda build without shield skills Although I find the skills useless vs cestain bosses( ecb,izanio,roga etc). The interrupt and close proximity aoes make combos hard to land using shellbreak.

    That's why i have at least 3 filler non-interrupt skills like assault attack , holy fist and kick from hunter skill tree, and as to avoid interruption from close proximities is to use a combo that uses any ranged skill as starter , it'll allow you to choose wherever you want to place yourself in a boss when you go to the melee part of combo , it'll allow you also to bait the boss to use its raid aoe so you could simply move away then proceed to do your business after its red aoe.
    I had this build in my mind a long time ago but due to sp constraint I wasn't able to give it fruition but thanks to 120 cap , I somehow already managed to get enough sp for shield skills and martial skills.
