what is your 4th skill

**csyui** · 12-15-2012, 03:14 PM

I believe most mages in AL have unlocked fireball (AOE), lightning (high dmg) and healing, what would you choose your 4th skill base on different situations?
Frost, time shift or gala?

I suggest trying them all out, because I've changed my build over time after finding I enjoy skills that I once wrote off as weaker than others. Each of the 8 skills is very useful and shines in a particular situation, so get to know all of them.

I tried every one already

I personally prefer time shift. (frost is good 2, and gale kinda has the same effect as fireball.)
I wish they could let us use more skills during the fight. 4 skills is really not enough for mage...

Frost is good, but it only give the highest dmg to the mob you shooting, for those nearby or pass through it only give little dmg and snare them. But I guess most people, even me, enjoy the freezing effect of frost.

gale will spread out the mobs which is good for solo. But when fighting with other player, it will cause some problems ...

But as I said, they all good and useful.

My fourth skill is Time Shift. It gets swapped out for Curse when I'm Jarl'ing though. So I guess that makes Curse my fifth skill heh.

Frost does Morrison damage than lightning unless you're rocking 70% crit by the way. This is excluding its potential to AoE as well.

im fire,heal,gale, and time

**Veenijit** · 12-16-2012, 11:09 AM

fire,wind,time,ice for leveling/hauntlet ..... curse and lightning to replace time and wind when jarling...

My 4th skill is gale force. I find it very useful when you are getting mobbed. It will save your life. I'd say it's more of a defensive skill than a damage skill.

my fourth skill is gale. Quite useful when soloing and when a horde of mobs are still alive after my Fireball spell, so I use Gale to take out the few remaining.
