25 mage.

I found 6 bom 6 light 4 heal 4 bov 1 frost 1 fire 1 drain 1 ms to be the most consistent but its pretty boring and you have to know 8m range to kite bears.

[Jyuu1205]

I'd switch that to:

6bom
6bov
1 Fost
6 light
1 fire
2 heal
1 drain
1 ms

Still would work :P I used 3 fire because I prefer 10m of fire against bears, instead of 8m fire.

[omglelz]

If anyone ever needs help with 8m Fire kiting I can help. I think I've mastered it at that level. I do it so well to the point that I beat most 30 bears.

Yeah same thing as mine but -2bom +2heal.
Wonder if a 5 bom 3 heal would bridge the gap between armor and heal...I'd have to try that out.

Hey ding dong, BOV is the armor buff.

Or you could just -1bov +1heal and use a 8arm ring.

That's exactly what i just said.

[Motivating]

I said use an armor ring. Read plz

[zaorago]

The same exact build i said.
We're talking about builds here... Aren't we?

[Motivating]

Yes we are. I simply said it would be better to -1bov and +1heal because bov gives +8 arm and you can just use a ring that give +8arm instead.

[omgteenwolf]

talk to getshyton hes the best

[Motivating]

Same.

[Etarbitrev]

Back prenerf ms really couldn't save you at all due to you being nuked so hard.

Which prenerf are you talking about cus from the 22-27 pvp where I'm from, the skill of it was the ms timing & the ability to nuke ppl before they msed. Much like mage vs mage at 66 imo.

[Etarbitrev]

Sorry stomp, but 6 BoV is pointless with 2 heal, I do believe jun's build would beat yours.

[Budapest]

I enjoy just nuking, so this build will be nuke. Not much sustain. It's what I used for my 27 mage, but it is also for 25-26 mages (If you remove BoV - 1 point from firestorm).

Stats:
52/55 Int, rest Dex (Preferred)
22 Int, rest Dex

Gear:
L25-27 Pink Forgotten Bow
L25 Dex Hallo Helm
L25 Dex Hallo Armor/L15 Alchemist Armor
L25 Int Crystalline/Earthquake Set + L10 Int Mage Plat Pack/L5 Alchemist for regen.

Build:
1 BoV (or none at all)
6 BoM
1 Heal
4 Drain
6 Light
1 Frostbite
6 Firestorm (or 5 firestorm)
1 Mana Shield

I partially agree with ^ but I have to be honest I prefer a bit more sustain when using nuke mages. 3 heal 2 drain usually keeps you alive for another couple seconds, usually long enough to kill a debuff or dmg bear.

I just feel that today's combat doesn't fair well off 1 heal as it isn't very good when dealing with teamers + just isn't/wasn't enough sustainability when I do 25/27 mage

I disagree. Paired with ms + some M/s regenerating gears, mana shield is enough to put your weight on. However this build isn't really for much besides nuke rushing (which is quite fun imo). If you'd like a build that carries you, I recommend having at least 4 heal, 3 would take a bit more skill to work with unless you've mastered using the skill Drain.
