The community at 25-27 is booming all of a sudden, so I would like to help aspiring 27 mages! If you do not know I am Jewbie, I am going to be giving my build, gear, and tactics/tips. Keep in mind this is for fbow mages.
Build:
1heal for full nuke, used to basically get rid of ice or heal off HS.
6light, ALWAYS in my opinion
1frostbite, always unless you're ignorant
3drain, used for counter drain, most likely going to be one of the later skills used in your combo.
1icestorm, this is debatable, most mages don't use this, I let them heal off frost then use ice fire.
6 buffs, always 6 bom, 6 bov for that maximum armor to let you stay alive enough to nuke.
1ms, should always be used in my opinion for any Mage build, time it right and you can do a lot more in a small time frame. Make sure you try to fit a combo while in ms or drain/light. Heal isn't priority while in ms.
1fire, if used well this can kite bears, vs Mage nothing above 1 is needed, it's nukey enough.
Combo:
Vs Mage- frostbite,light,heal,drain,fire,icestorm, OR frostbite,light,heal,drain,icestorm,fire.
Vs Bear- (this really depends on the bear) frostbite,light,fire,run,heal off HS,drain,icestorm,wait for cool downs and ms when appropriate.
Vs other- frostbite,light,fire,heal,drain,icestorm ms when needed.
Gear:
Pink forgotten Bow 25-27 stats aren't much different, ex. You can be a 27 Mage with a 25 fbow and that's ok. Hallow helm (dex) level 25 and hallow mantle level 25 (dex). Rings, I like Fine Platinum Ring of Bravery, which is 1% crit 11 damage. I also have a hit armor ring just incase they dish out more damage then me faster, really just depends on the Mage/bear.
Tactics:
You'll learn from experiance, 27 is a great level and I encourage everyone to try Mage. It is incredibly fun and so many builds to tryout. This is just my personal set up and if you have any questions you can always pm me at Jewbie. Thanks for reading my guide and I hope you enjoyed.
