New mage

Making a mage, but I need help, what stats should I use, I'm planning on using a MD but what sub weps, if can I use? Stats, and skills.

 

For a mage, stat wise you could use int and dex or just pure int. If you are using a MD, Magical devices don't allow a sub weapon.
Skills would be just Magic skills. Are you going for DPS or healer?

 

I'm thinking a fast kill and farmer hybrid for my mage, any insight would be useful.

 

Ah, Then go pure INT, and possibly invest skills points into battle skills for DPS.

 

Even for MD?

 

Yes if you are going for DPS

 

But what about CR damage? Or does that not matter

 

I mean close range, for MD users, wouldn't agi and int be a help?

 

Int will be necessary for fast kill. Agi isn't very helpful.

 

Ah, so low agi, high int? What about vit it the others?

 

If you want to become a healer then vit would be necessary. No agi at all, just pure int.

 

Your don't need agi period..I have a MD user with agi, but that's because it's not a mage, it's a mage brawler with heals (monk I guess).

 

So staff is the way to go for mage, what subwep if any should I use?

 

Huehuehue magic devices are better! You can fly! :3

 

Ah, nice, what sub skills should I use with MD?

 

Cookies! Jk jk xD
Go for da staff! :3 it has better stats then the magic deviceies~ I would use daggers as a sub :3

 

Colors~~! >w<

 

I'm thinking DPS, and heavy damage build, might even throw in some Aoe skills just for farming

 

Just want to point out that Magic: Wall is the both the best damaging spell in the game and the best AoE farming spell in the game as well.

The only other AoE skill is Magic: Blast and it serves the same function as Wall and it's better if you miss your Wall. (in boss fights)

Essentially your best AoE abilities are also your best DPS abilities.
