The bracer is best served mega mage, if price is not a factor. But even when price is not a factor the wand or the cowl, however,
can be scubber or scraper which offer significant damage boosts over mega mage counterparts.
The mastermind suffers from lacking damage bonus. Granted you get more damage on average from the +6crit than you do with +10dmg,
but with a scrubber you get the +10dmg and still get +6% crits. (and ofcourse, while doing so, your armor suffers, but to say that all mega mage
is max damage gear is just rubbish. e.g. trading 6 armor and some of over 40m/s into 4%hit and 6% crit can be well justified and at least offers
a finer granularity than mere wand/staff choice does)
(same goes for staffing. scrubber staff kicks butt harder than mega mage does, there's no denying in that. mega mage staff is a step away from max damage to the security of it's armor)
Mega mage itself is in a sense a compromise set, a good one for sure. Unbuffed armor of 133 on a pure int mage is indeed uncanny.
