Building mage build.. lv 46

[Legendsoflegends]

Been looking all over and can't find whatI need. So best to build it ourselfs.

1= unlocked skill
2= second upgrade
3= upgrade
4= upgrade
5= upgrade


Fireball -1,2,3,4,5
Wind - 1,3,4 (faster runs)
Light - 1,2,3,
Ice - 1,3,4 (freezing enemies bugged, upgrade not really needed)
Time - 1,2,4,5 (explode upgrade useful?????? Debating)
Shield - 1,2,4,5 (knockback really not useful??? What about boss?)
Live giver - 1,2 (just for saving pots on easy runs/km3/ppl who ask)

Passive
Intel 5/5
Str 5/5
Dex 5/5
Armor 5/5
Crit 5/5 (if possible)


Mobs I run
Wind
Fire
Time
Shield

Boss I run
Light
Ice
Time
Shield

Any opinions would be nice...

Pve- best build for mage is (Imo)
Shield, ice, gale and clock/light.

If you have practice with these skills and maximise the effectivess
In every situation in pve you won't struggle, you would agree with me.

[Legendsoflegends]

Will try.. wind.ice.light.shield.

Went and bought some force gear for mage plus ring and pendant with my crafted. ...
SLAIN KING UNHOLY STAFF OR FORCE

TO TRY THE CRIT %

Got close to 30% crit
Damage and dps dropped like 200

Big trade off tho.. worth the trade?!!!

[Caabatric]

how much did damage alone drop?
how much was your previous crit?
Current damage stat with the staff?

[Motherless_Child]

I have extra stun on gale and 2nd skill on freeze too.

No armour required as a mage since gale gives armour 50% and rengol effigies gives a whooping 15% for 15 minutes, armour percentage bonus doesn't stack.

Don't use heal in km3. EVER. Also light fork crit and damage upgrades really work well together in km3. I have explode upgrade on PvE build on clock.


I hope this helps and you try to run km3 without heal!?


Edit: it is best to use wind and ice and not wind and fire. I use wind ice clock fire/light depending on the number of mobs in a pile. If laggy i switch to shield. Different bosses I approach with a different build.

Yup.... ice is better to use with wind than using fire with wind.......

When I equipped everything including pet (10%)

Staff 3. Crit
Helm 3-4 crit
Armor 3-4 crit
Ring 3-4 crit
Pendant 3-4 crit
Pet (10 critic) ribbit

Total 33% critical (bought 500 gold crit gears at lv46 ) around there. All force or high in crit.

Dps 703 >>> 510
Damage 547>>> 393

From assault gear to force gear (armor is fat.) same unholy weapon.

Staff - unholy
Helm - padded of force
Armor - scavenger of fatality
Ring - force (impressive of force)
Pendant - force sagelalite. (Sorry about spelling)

3-5 crit depending on assault or bru. (Just weapon del light increase a little crit.) No jewels/gems.

I was hitting crit every other hit. I like the crit. But really not wroth it I think. Someone do calculations. That's would be gladly appreciated. .

And. Oh. Yea in elite ren.. lol.

-Shield just for survivability. . Or else something thing else could replace if you have enough armor/health...

-wind blows them away...

-Ice freeze who try lies to come close

- light hit for high damage

You have to keep up your damage while adding as much crit as possible, it makes no sense to raise crit while putting down damage that much! Your 547 damage setup is far better then the 393 damage setup, no doubt!
You can have a look in skills setup for your minimum and maximum dealt lightning strike damage (read in description of lightning strike) and this is the the damage range you deal to enemies!

Your damage is way too low, and regardless of your crit very few people will run with you...

I usually consider damage 1st priority, health 2nd, crit 3rd, armor 4th
Hopefully that should help out with looking for the right gear to buy

Also your elite run build must must must include clock...
I am guessing that you need shield to survive in elites so here should be your build:

Fire,Ice/Light(depends on if you need the freeze),Clock,Shield...

The reason I don't suggest gale for you yet is because I am unsure if you use it properly. (explain to me how you use gale in elites in better detail)
Anyway start with charged fire, charge ice if 3+ mobs are grouped together, else freeze any ranged character or shamen, then use charged clock...

Learn how to maintain a constant stun/root on enemies so they are easier to deal with.

[Imsofancy]

Get close to 20 crit that is the bare minimum a mage should have. 1/4 chance of crit is mandatory when you are using c/c skills.

500 damage with 20 crit is better than 600-700 damage with 6-7 crit -_-

Keep in mind to keep enough brutality items in your gear, no str and int means no HP,which means a squishier smurf in elites.

A dead smurf is a non crowd controlling smurf. No crowd control =GG party who are relying on mage to stun/freeze/snare enemies.

How about 700 dmg with 20 crit?

[Caabatric]

How about no banana for u -_-

What about for me D;

[Legendsoflegends]

Well using the skills gale.ice.light.shield

Charged ice - freeze mob
Light - do some damage/stun
Wind - blow who didn't freeze and keeps them at distance.
Shield - use when ness.
And repeat. For elite.

That's kind of how I am running elite now still miss fireball and time.

Before I was running
Ice - freeze
Fire - stun
Time - snare
Shield


I've tried
Time
Light
Ice
Gale

Works pretty good like very good.

[Imsofancy]

As long as you don't share yours with hatey

My spoon is too big, I'm a banana.

[Imsofancy]

Post a banana selfie plox

Nvm here u go

That chin bro, its dead on.

Fire or lighting better?

[mesalin]

Lightning for bosses, and tombs(when you r using gale and have beast damage/crit). Fire for mobs, except when you have gale in your spec.

What you think about this: i use fire and gale in same spec. I not mage specialized but hmm my friend told me its good.

<Forgiveness>

[mesalin]

I wouldn't bother with gale and fire at the same time, I only spec that way when I'm stuck with a pug party that keeps dieing and I'm left fending off the mobs. Gale and FB stun don't work together, for example if you just fireball stunned an enemy you have to wait for a while(idk exact time) before you can stun him again. The knock back upgrade on gale makes it s better stun than FB but FB is hands down the better DPS skill.

So gale ice clock light will work better than gale ice clock fire
Right?

<Forgiveness>

[mesalin]

Yep, gale is not the best for crowd control but it sure gets the job done.

If you are having survivability problems switch light for gale otherwise I would recommend gale/ice/light/clock. The knock back from gale helps keep mobs away from Shaman and gladiators which are the first priority mobs.

The perfect build is light clock fire and ice. The mage AoE and dot really stacks up in elites.

Thanks Avikk for tips haha i guess its time to respec my mage

<Forgiveness>

[MeDaddy]

Ok ty for info. Will be testing today

[Legendsoflegends]

Yea. I tried the following

Gale
Ice
Time
Light


Just don't get hit and you been doing massive damage.

[pompous]

Try this:

Gale
Fire
Ice
Clock

Don't charge gale when mobs are in clock...just tap it. Use charged gale to move around fast and pull next mob set.
