Hey guys, alot of people wanted to know my build for my LVL 17 Nukist mage, so here it is. :highly_amused: :highly_amused: :highly_amused:



Attribute points

Strength - 1

Dexterity - 56

Int - 33

Any other Nukist would go pure dex, but against skilled 12-17 dexbears, you need that extra shot of mana.



Skill points



7439




Gear


At the moment, I find having three different loadouts is very useful.


7440



The Armor loadout consists of:

LVL 15 Artisans Reinforced Leather

LVL 10 Sniper's Archery Cap

LVL 15 Festive Toy Man Wand

LVL 10 Sniper's Avian Wing

LVL 10 Fine Golden Band of Technique


In this loadout, you get 37 armour, which is a good amount against 17 dexbears.


The Dmg Loadout consists of:

LVL 14 Jewel Thiefs Dark Forest Leather

LVL 10 Sniper's Archery Cap

LVL 15 Festive Toy Man Wand

LVL 10 Sniper's Avian Wing

LVL 10 Fine Platinum Band of Bravery


This loadout is good against other mages, or perhaps even lvl 12 dexbears. KITING IS KEY


The Regen loadout consists of:

LVL 10 Dreamers Elven Helmet

LVL 10 Fire wand of Mastery (or the other Plat Pack wand)

LVL 10 Dreamers Cloth Armor

LVL 10 Magic Shield of Mastery (or the other Plat Pack shield)

LVL 10 Fine Platinum band of Technique


This loadout is SOLELY for Mana regen, as the M/S should go to about 13. DO NOT FIGHT WITH THIS!




Tactics and Combos


This is my Skill Map, you may change to preference though :)


7441



Tactics


Against Dexbears: When first starting off, do the whole Drain - Ice - Lightning - Fire combo to take away 1/4-1/2 of their health. Then, stay a good distance away from them throughout the match, be sure to only use skills when you have the Frost - Lightning - Fire skills ready to use. Try not to spam skills, this DOESNT work.


Be sure to always get that combo
Always stay out of their range of Stomp. You dont ned to worry about if they are kiting you with an Xbow, just freeze and move on.
When it seems the match is coming to a close, fully nuke them, but focus on healing and draining in case their rage pops on again


Remember, matches may take a long time, so priority time of attack is when they are backing away to let their Rage cooldown reset.


Against Skilled mages

Depending on what armor they are using, try going with my Armor loadout, but with the Damage ring included instead of armor.


These fights may last a long time, so be sure to routinely heal throughout
Getting the Combo is essential!
On any mage with less than 32 armor, the combo will take away a large chunk of their health, so be sure to ALWAYS have Auto on them


Against Birds

As of the bear and mage, routinely heal after they debuff you, as these could cost you the match. In terms of combos against a bird, use the nuke loadout, and if they look half-decent,try and kite until they have no buffs and mana left. :gorilla:


Additional Tips

While using my armor build, if the fight lasts over a minute or so, you will most likely have little mana left. For this, I suggest looking for a mana orb. If the map doesnt have orbs, wear the regen loadout, and run from your enemy for about 8-10 seconds, and quickly switch back, and nuke the living daylights out of them. :black_eyed:

If you see a LVL 12 Dexbear with an autobow, you wont need to kite, because it will only take about 2 combos to kill them :highly_amused:


While doing a combo against a bear, focus on when you think the opponent is going to stomp. Analyze whether you are in range. If you are, firestorm him back, if you aren't, freeze him. (This meaning he will try to stomp out of the freeze, then you can get him)

Stomp and Nightmare are the Nukists worst enemy, so be sure to kite them, and heal REGULARLY! :tyrannosaurus:

I can imagine this build to work well against other mages, because of the high lightning.

However, I'm not too sure how it will work out against good dexbears, because you would need to get into the 8/10m range to land lightning/fire. If you get stunned by a HS or Stomp they will easily take you down in a few auto hits, won't they? :concern:

The lightning is mainly for the first nuke of the match. It acts as a debuff of armor. If you can get in range when the opponent is almost dead, then use it again. As lightning uses little mana, and recharges fast, it may be one of the skills that you essentially would spam at the enemy.

Thanks :)

3 fire has low range that a bear can easily also use his stomp and hit u. i think 3 heal 5 fire wood work better (my opinion). U lost to my 12 bear...

That equipment is pretty expensive :). Are there any cheaper substitutes I can use that would be effective? I would like to *test out* a less expensive twink before going all into it ;).

Your a very good low level mage, i have to admit. If i may suggest something for you to try? You dont need to use it long term, but just give it a go.

Take 2 points off drain and put them on fire. 5 fire will give you a 12m range for kiting if needed and much more long term damage than 3 drain.

I reccomend artisan, 8 hit and 5 more armor trumps 6 crit
