Questions About Support Mages

[StRoDo]

I'm looking to become a support mage, but I'm new to this game and am looking for some guidance. Here are some picture of my current stats and skills. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/7062/imagegta.jpg

I am willing to respec. Could someone please give me some suggestions on skills, stats and gear that would be best for a support mage?

Thanks Alot :)

Pure int Mage. Full mega Mage level 55 gear with staff. With staff you do more dmg, you can go shield/wand if you wanna be more defensive. Max buffs, debuffs, heal and you will be a good support. Put only 1 point in revive.

The only pure support Mage I can think of in this game is a good heal.

Therefore you'd want to max heal, and get all int to maximise that heal. Of course at least a 1 rev is necessary, and when your able to get your party buff skills (Blessing of Might/Vitality), I'd max them out as soon as possible too.

There's really no such thing as a true support mage in this game. The devs have designed the enchantress class so that their support role is just a part time job (tossing heals frequently and party buffs once or twice per map). So one way or another, you will end up being an AOE destroyer as well whether you like it or not. Basically what separates a "support" mage in this game is a couple of things, wand and bracer instead of staff so you survive a bit better and are more likely to be still standing to rez fallen allies, and pure Int for healing power. Of course, offensive AOE oriented mages can and should be pure Int as well, so that's not really a distinction I guess ;)

Haha I always agree with you Royce. We have the same taste I guess you could say lol.
