Some Favorite Endgame Mage PvE Builds

[Kaziscate]

So I've been messing around with making some builds recently and I wanted to share some PvE builds that I've been having a good time with and why I like these builds:
For passives, I max out everything except crit and movement (I leave those empty)

Masteries
1.Fireball Mastery (10/10)
2.Gale Force Mastery (10/10)

Ultimate
Meteor Strike or Energize
You can also put the 10 points into a mastery of your choice if you don't want an ultimate

About this build:This is a pretty offensive build. This buiLd can literally stun enemies to death. You can also swap out one of the upgrades on Gale Force (preferably the speed buff) for its +50% armor buff if you want to get that extra bit of defense.

Masteries

2.Time Shift Mastery (10/10)

Ultimate
Meteor Strike or Energize
You can also put the 10 points into Arcane Shield Mastery or Lifegiver Mastery if you don't want an ultimate

About this build:This is a build that I'd use all the time because of how resistant it makes you to enemy debuffs thanks to Arcane Shield and Gale Force Mastery. It's a build that has a great mix of defense and offense. Lifegiver, Arcane Shield, and Gale Force Mastery are the defense skills. Gale Force, Time Shift, and Time Shift Mastery are the offensive skills that stun enemies. It's optimized for dealing with mobs while surviving so most of the damage is AoE focused.

Feel free to share some builds or mention anything about the builds I mentioned.
