Dps Mage Build

You did start with arrow right? I don't use chain and my cast time is .7-.9 no points in cspd Allah out any equips boosting It

 

No I don't use combos on mage.

 

You have to use arrow first before a skill for chain cast. That's what I meant. Did you do that?

 

Again I don't use combos on mage. We have enough problem with flinches and hp no need making it worst.

 

Is that a smith modified staff to have so much mp?

 

No. A drop mino staff. I use xtal earrings synth with glasses. Give 300mp and sofy talisman gives 300mp. And the rest from all my int.

 

Oh okay that make more sense. It sounded like you were saying you get 700 just from that staff.

 

I synth my earrings with horns.
Also using stray garb refined heavy. Adds a bit more mp and as u said armor does not matter atm.

 

In my opinion combo (smith) will increase dps significantly and with cain cast will reduce your cast time greatly too

If you have a good tank and good breaker
Try using combo
It s more devastating than without combo

 

Hey! I have a mage. So just ask. If i want to build the stat,i should just take int? What about the personal and other? What should i take?

 

XD let me answer this before @Faust chews you out.

This is a guide read through his guide he answers the stats. All in to int. If you read through comments you will see that adding points in to dex will make you a weaker mage and does not improve your cast time much.

As for personal state. Well from every thing I've taking away from stat points and mage, id say don't Pick any personal stat. There is currently nothing good for a mage and hopefully they will bring more options later.

And before you ask why not crit (This has been answers in comments), crit does not effect magic skills.

 

Ooo... Then if wanna add hp take the survival skill?

 

Well mages are just squishy period. Not much we can do about that. If you honestly feel you need extra hp then you can put points in to survival but you would have to take away from your other skills.

If you follow his build that leaves you 7 extra skill points if you get all the achievements for skills. Problem is that's not easy there's a bunch so you will have to take away from the attack skills.

Now remember his build is setting you up for future updates so yes you can take away Points from blast but in future you might regret it.

My suggestion, just get strayer armor it adds 100hp and mp. Then never solo any boss. Soloing is harder and takes more time then if you just simply party up.

In the end its your choice its your character. Do what you think is best and what makes you enjoy the game.

 

Hi there. I would like to add a comment on this one and wanna ask some opinion too.

I have a mage lvl 37

With 101 int (i get extra stat from emblem)

My skill are
Lvl5 arrows
lvl 5 jevalin >> lvl 3 lanche
lvl 10 wall >> lvl 3 blast
Lvl10 mastery
lvl 10 mp boot
lvl 5 safe rest >> lvl 3 hp boot
( i also got extra skill point from emblem.. so i can spend a bit on suvival....some time a good tank is hard to find...my hp is at 900 at the moment)

So... the question is should i continue lvl up lance and blast first to lvl 5
or i should do lvl up chain skill first??

The problem i find is that it is taking quute a handful of time to do lance and blast spell =_= and i ended up got attack first.

Also should i lvl up luck on my suvival skill?

Seriously feel that i am so out of luck when doing guild maze or boss farming =_=

But since i spend all my stat point in maxing my int. The drop rate is quite horrible.

 

Lance is just a glorified Arrow.It's USELESS!
You can get survival if you feel that you have too less mp/hp.

 

I think i do more damage on lance.

I hit BD dragon (water staff)

Arrow around 300per hit >>6 hits = 1500
lance (at lvl3...mage lvl34) = 1200 per hit >> 2 hits = 2400

It is higher ... but it takes so long to cast T_T

 

Chain cast is crap only get it for futureupdates so that means you don't need it right nowbut heads up good not to spend all spare points just on case new update has some good ones.

Don't waste stat points on luck you would need at least 100 in it to be worth it so don't waste stats you would just make your self have less dps.

Arrow is better then lance I have not maxed you need to max arrow asap for boss dps. Lance hits a little harder but only hits like three times but it's nice to have do to you can cast arrow then it and do massive dps.

 

If you think about it,at least by using Arrow you are using that 5 skill point you have to put in Chain Cast for future skills.Chain Cast is a combo skill,meaning it's good for lazy boss killing (aka chaining Arrow with Javalin) since you'll just be spamming Arrow anyways (Fast casting time)
By using Lance you get higher dmg output compared to Arrow alone,but you are also wasting more points (since you won't be getting anything with it before lvl 70 update) since you'll have to get Chain Cast lvl 5 anyways,along with Lance.Also why not at least make full use of the skill tree? (As of now;you'll also have to put points in Lance once lvl cap reaches over 70.)
Also,Arrow is the FIRST skill you get as mage,so you should already have it at lvl 5 anyways by the end of MQ now.

 

If your having problems as is with interrupts be really careful with combos. Easy way to get your self killed since now your stuck in position trying to cast spell.

Only time I ever use combos is farming at goblins with wall and charge.

 

Bless solves that problem,as well as Holy Fist.
I heal up with Bless after getting interrupted and use Holy Fist to counter,since it's an instant hit skill.
