Few noob questions about mage

[Ominae]

Hi every1.
Just started playing, currently 21 lvl, pure-int mage.

What build is better with the latest patches? INT or DEX, or DEX\INT?

On what lvl i should respec from int-mage?

Thx)

So far Int is your friend, at lvl 40 is the point, if you them want to go dex Mage or paly.

Int until you get m/s gear. At level 50 I recommend 125 int and everything into dex. You can do a dex/str mix or all str or all dex. But make sure you have 125 baseline for mage ALWAYS. 125 Because you can equipt cosmos by equipting lvl 45 thoth. You can also equipt thoth by placing a couple low level int boosting gears. With cosmos you will have plenty of m/s thus int will no longer be needed and any extra stats allocated are wasted.

everything into dex.

After the update I'm gonna disagree. Dex is the least powerful stat you could be in as a mage. The amount of DPS you are going to pick up isn't worth the possible health/armor benefits of going STR instead.

Ominae, you are dying using aoe because aoe it pulls massive amount of aggro from multiple targets and you have no virtually zero armor/health. Keep INT until you can spare points for STR. You should be able to survive well enough if you stay behind the tank.

is it important to invest points to Ice Storm skill? Now its adding +13 max damage per rank

Requirent for level 45 thoth is 142. So you mean level 40.

Also, basically everything else is covered, but here's something you may need to know:

11 int - 1 ms
61 int - 2 ms
111 int - 3 ms
161 int - 4 ms
211 int - 5 ms
261 int - 6 ms


For attributes, I'd recommend most int, but investing in dex for hit %, since ddex delivers a little more than int.

lv21?
I think you can leave them later just my opinion, maybe 1 point on shield for boss fight

11str for 1h/s is useless, you have at least 400 health and won't feel any difference with that 1h/s

unless you want to be a str mage
