I don't want to sound critical but I favour non of the above builds.
Actually it's a really good build for people without voice and IDK what you're talking about but the damage loss never messed with my proccing when I used this build.....Quote:

They are not old builds and they seem to work fine for me and many others I know. You do not need full STR build in mausoleum.Quote:

Str build is for maus not elitesQuote:

Thank you, my toon will be a rogue, if you want to run with my mage, next expansion. I have struggled running with my rogue with full STR mages. Thanks for the offer :)Quote:

That at the end will be less.... You can go and make a party with 4 rogues for Maus 5-6 which is... So lame.Quote:

I have ran with you in maus while I was using this build...and you said yourself that the run was great, In my opinion the STR build is the BEST build in deep maus, using proc to do damage and skills to stun(and shield), there have been times I've ran maus 5-6 with 3 other mages over and over using maus pass, all of us using this build and it was a cake walkQuote:

Yes the run was great, I say that amongst a good pt. Also that you're a skilfull mage.Quote:

The right pet, timing of aa at witches and stay away from giants red zone is key to die less, curse from witches and hit of giants still kill me if I fail to move or use nilbog aa right, even with 7400hp 25% dmg reduction lix 3% dmg reduct from pet.
Imo playing with mages that have full int makes less time on pulls and less death overall..
I dont judge anyone, do what you feel is smoothest for you.. but i prefere the other mage have full int. The time difference and amount of lixes spent on a map is pretty big imo..
If i had set i would't use STR build :strawberry:Quote:

I think if you have a good PT then pure INT has the edge, while STR might be better for random PT.
Mages should stun and damage mobs and slight cc war tank and protect pt axe some wandering bosses as for rogues mob cc with drag blades and as always deal massive damage to bosses never use bows on mobs if i see pug rogues using bows on mobs ill leave immediately as using bows with mobs doesn't really help the pt at all.

You have full voice set though, as far as set goes go INT but without set its hard getting 10k health with STR build let alone INT, ( btw hi Msustro its me Whereat :cheerful:)Quote:

Atm i have some points on strengh cause low health in random Teams can be Bad. I use balanced wep now and set 3 item. With good Team i died not with 5,8k health and with bad Team i die still with near 8k HP. Using right pets at right time, hell a lot. for example, i ever want cry when i see pple use hisha all time in maus. for what? pinkies drop without luck, other items too. and i like hisha, but for maus its really not the best choice for run in my opinion
It's a very good build for mage, proc matters, not damage =)Quote:

Maybe the mages u ran with sucked. ImoQuote:

ofc the case will be different if there are more than one mage who has full clock mastery, in randoms, you can't expect them to always have it
imo, it's a build that is requiring a very specific team and gear, but at the same time, not trusting the team's tank/aggro holder
