I see. Thank you for clearing this up. I'l just grin and bear it.

They should. I just won't get exp for them. Nowhere does it say that it also stops your kills from increasing. I'm not upset particularly, just annoyed that this is either a bug or a silly feature....

So I made a twink, Vineyardvines, got to lvl 21, and disabled exp gain. Once I did that, my pve kills stopped increasing whenever I killed mobs. I would really liked this fixed as I waited a few days...

Mine also stopped working. I hope there is a fix so I can continue to record videos.

PvE:

Shield, Heal, Frost, Time.

Stay alive while freezing & stopping the mobs so your dps can pick them off easily.

PvP:

Shield, Heal, Curse, Frost

Any hints? I'll even take a riddle at this point.

I'm glad we didn't actually have to be AFK to be granted the title.

Looking good.

I personally have not seen it although I never charge my Borean.

Lack of market liquidity is probably due to the next expansion. My inventory turnover for the past few weeks has been terrible. There should be a correction in the future, but right now markets are...

So I have invested in some crates. Now, I'm wondering if they would be worth opening because of the increased loot chance of Mythics and Arcanes, or if I should just wait until crates are at a higher...

5 seconds according to a dev. 7 seconds with the upgrade.

On a side note they should make it 7.5 seconds with the upgrade. Half of 5 (seconds) is 2.5 so adding the .5 would make a little more...

I typically solo WT4 as well. But I remember leveling up in WT4 with parties and there would be a certain group dynamic, roles that people would play. My role was crowd control. I had Fireball,...

Honestly, Frost with the proper upgrades is probably the better option for PvE at this time. Just due to the fact that it can freeze mobs and apply DoTs to all of them as well as the short cooldown....

I did a little experiment. So I had Curse at 3/5 by level 7 with the first two upgrades. I noticed how much of a difference it made in battle for my party when it was applied. Immediately the mobs...

I'm actually leveling a mage using your first support build. It's working wonderfully, I definitely notice the difference curse makes especially at lower levels. At endgame pvp however, I'm sure...

Very interesting.

This clears up a lot of things for me, thank you for your thoughtful response Aedenos. As for your assumptions, I'd appreciate them all the same. I'm open to all theory :)

I realize one gets an experience bonus when in a party, but I have a few questions I'm hoping can be answered.

1. How much extra is the party bonus?
2. Do you need to be in a party of 4 to...

I've actually given the support mage some thought and a build I would try out would be :
Fireball 5/5
Frost Bolt 3/5
Curse 5/5 (I just don't see it as viable without all of the upgrades)
Heal 2/5...

Orion. Lone wolf. Love solo'ing.

Good luck :3

I also make AL videos. Check my sig for the link.

1. Gale
2. Curse...I wish it was better and we had a 5th skill slot...
3. Displacement Wave on Arcane Shield
4. 20% Ice patch on Frost Bolt
5. The mana and health HoTs on Life.

Very interesting. So overall you seem pretty satisfied with the build and I'm assuming you'll keep it? I like to solo WT4 several times daily as well, so would you go with the AOE upgrade for Light?...

Great points. I did not know that using Frost on certain Nordr bosses created more ice patches, but it makes sense. I'm also sure the damage is nerfed somewhat (I know Frost doesn't freeze those ice...

I have a video on Youtube explaining my build. But basically it goes like this...
5/5 Fireball - staple for sorcerers. I know many don't like the 25% hit debuff but I really have noticed it's...
