What is best for a Dex Mage?

[Ritax]

Hello,

I want to try a DEX mage, please let me know your thoughts.
1. All Dex or enough DEX to wear armor and the rest into INT? why?
2. What kind of DEX gear is best? with Dodge? Crit? M/S? why?
3. Bow or Talon? Is it better to get a faster speed (0.7 bow) with lower dmg or a slower speed (1.2 bow) with higher dmg?

Thanks in advance for your help! I tried looking at different dexmage posting but don't think i've read what i'm looking for. I'm sure it's been discussed many times.

1) Depends if you want to up your healing.
2) Thoth / Void. M/s is extremely important as you will have a low mana pool (especially if you go all dex) and low base m/s.
3) The overwhelming majority of DEX mages I see use either a thoth talon or laser talon. Normally I would say you want to use the heaviest bow possible as this will up the damage on your spells, but unfortunately you have low armor as it is and you need a shield to survive.

Do not mix elves with dex, its like mixing 69 with 420, doesnt work.

Dex elves aside, 69 and 4:20 works pretty well actually.

I'll have to agree 69 and 4:20 works great! So does DEX and Elves...
