OK, so I've been levelling an Ursan Mage and I am up to level 16 (only 5 deaths, too, which is a surprise for me). For skills I have put everything into Stomp and Rage, but I have not spent the skill points for the last few levels because I hope to put the next skill I learn up to a good level quickly. At 18 we get Iron Blood and at 20 we get Hell Scream. I am pretty sure I want both, and I know I can put Iron Blood to 4 the minute I learn it, if I keep holding out...

But the goal is to be able to create my own combos. Maybe an ice staff or wand and Stomp? Any ideas?

My current modus operandi is to shoot them, stomp them back, and keep shooting. It takes a lot of mana.

This is a lot of fun, developing a hybrid from scratch, so don't bother telling me to develop a pure STR bear then re-spec. I'm not listening lalalalalala (finger-in-ears) LOL!

Any ideas on mid level strategies and potential staff/skill combo effects would rock!
