--> THE L.15 Complete Mage Guide.
Various people have asked me to do a Level 15 Enchantress Guide so seeing as though I'm not going to be doing 15-20 alot anymore I thought I'd share my "secrets" lol.
BEWARE THIS IS ONE HELL OF A GUIDE ITS VERY LONG --> but on the + side its EVERYTHING I know about 15 Mages (that i can think of atm).
BUILDS:
There are various different builds you can use but different ones have different requirements (obviously) so I'll tell you the dis/advantages of them all.
IMO there are 2 builds.
1. The common but VERY effective
6 light 5 heal 1 drain 1 fire 1 frost
Advantages:
Very good all-rounded build has the potential to beat NEARLY everything.
Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage is you can be beaten by other mages with 'Founders Helm'.
Founders Helm gives +5 DPS & +5 Armour so it is a MAJOR advantage at this level.
2. Founders Build
6 light 4 heal 1 frostbite 1 frostwall
1 fire 1 drain
Advantages:
Once mastered is literally unbeatable
Disadvantages:
VERY hard to master & only PROPERLY works with founders helm. *P.S Onebeastmage uses it but it is still possible to beat him using the correct gear.
STATS:
For both builds you should always use 22 INT & 57 DEX.
22 INT enables good mana regen which is essential in the majority of mage vs tank fights.
This combined with the DEX enables good nuke power.

SETUPS:
1. ~ DMG ~ H'ween DEX helm, Toyman/Paw, Evidence Bracer L.15, Expert L.15, 2 Crit/8 DPS ring.
2. ~ Midfight Regen.
*IMPORTANT*
Okay this might seem quite complicating or pointless,
BUT, in my opinion its essential:
It really helps because if you wear the same vanities, then your opponent WONT NOTICE the midfight change IF YOU CHANGE FAST ENOUGH.
Ok so heres what you do:
1. Wear '15 plat' L.15 fox Helm.
2. Wear a random Weapon & Shield (that you won't have in your invent after you delete them).
3. Wear Alchemist L.5 Armour.
4. Wear 1 m/s 1 h/s 8 DPS ring.
5. Save this into 1 of the loadout slots.
6. DELETE the "random Weapon & Shield".
*Make sure that none of that specific "random Weapon & Shield" are in your inventory.*
7. Go from "Toy" loadout to "Midfight Regen".
(You should have your regen stuff but toy aswell.) --> This is the same for if you wear a forgotten bow set.
Explanation:
Now that this is done, when ur 1/4 mana u can switch to 'midfight regen'.
****Also a bonus is you can use
2. 'Midfight Regen' for any gear setup, so if you wore forg you would still change to the most effective regen set.****
3. ~ Armor ~ H'ween INT helm, Artisan L.15, Paw/Toyman L.15, (Preferably Pink)Bracer L.15, 2% Hit 6 Armour Ring
*IMPORTANT*
Although it seems minor, you will need to buy FESTIVE HAT from the cs or if u have the red version wear that, as it gives 1.5 Armour and PL doesn't work in 0.5s so it rounds it up to +2 armour for the supposedly +1 vanity Helm.
4. ~ Full Regen ~ '15 Plat' L.15 fox Helm, '35 Plat' L.10 Dreamer's wand, Alchemist L.5, Xmas Cuddle-me/ornament, 1 m/s 1 h/s 6 armour ring.

COMBOES:
Basics.. The High Damage combo is Frost + Fire (make sure they're frozen before using fire).
Also, if you're clever to deal a lot of damage at 1 given time, use the skill delays, for example, light/drain delay.
VS BEAR - Frost them after they stomp and make sure you stay out of slashing distance. I normally use: light, fire, heal (if stomped), frost (after stomp). And then repeat but whilst they are frozen you can heal up to full hp again, then repeat.
KEY POINTS: Know your ranges or you'll get your face slashed off by bears. + Dont underestimate "Raged" Auto damage, more often than not its 70-100 per auto + stomp, So make sure you give urself time away from their auto range, because it accumilates.
VS MAGE - this is the slightly trickier part... Some mages comboes are different so you have to work around this --> if they did frost light fire drain heal. You could counter it by doing light heal frost fire drain. But it would have to be timed well.
Mages IMO are very much about improvisation. You have to know a mage's weakness/strengths and use it against others.
This is why it is very hard for me to put into words how to vs a mage. The BEST way is definitely to try things out for yourself and the more u try the better you will get.
THE OVERALL: Your aim is to either: 1. Save mana till they're fully debuffed by light, then swap to DMG and then try to kill. OR. 2. Save mana till they swap to their mana set, but you need to anticipate this & try to full combo whilst they switch, which will put them on the backfoot if it doesnt kill them.
You also need to have a collection of different tactics & strategies to beat different playing styles as different people play differently (obviously).
VS BIRD - Not very hard, if their 'break' hurts alot heal it & nvm about the roots, if their break doesn't hurt then fire, heal roots, frost and kite the combo, as they probably have high blast. However the majority now have high break, so watch for that.
VS HIPPO - Not too complicated, heal their dashes as it prevents them from comboing, make sure you're constantly kiting and frosting them after they heal. It is very much a mana fight vs rhinos. So when they switch to mana regen, you use 'forg' + 'midfight regen' set to nuke them whilst not running out of mana.
VS FOX - I haven't vsed a challenging fox since the dmg nerf so don't worry, just make sure you hit them with light and time your heals right.
And if you're successful with this, then you will most likely get a lot of kills
Hope it wasn't too long of a guide, mages are a brilliant class imo so I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do.
If you want to challenge yourself try to look for mages like: Onebeastmage(quit), Zetris(quit), Haxnuke(quit), Eminem(quit) or Me (I'm the most active atm), Mobbed(quit also >_>),
additions to this are: Eternaltoast & Lamars & Superdryjpn they have read this guide & have improved no end because of it.
Or bears like: Fight (aka hungrybastard, aka Divinerusher), Megatwink(banned), Bous(quit), Bossology(quit), Fighter(quit), Terror(banned) (aka fetishzs(current name of new char) or fetishsz idk), Ogstealth, Whiippd, Vaws
