Skill build:
here's two options.
-Anti-mage build: 6 BoM, 5 BoV, 5 light, 3 drain, 1 frostbite, 1 heal, 1 fire. I own almost all 22-27 mages with this build, but it's super vulnerable against foxes and bears.
-Good all-round build: 6 BoM, 5 BoV, 5 fire, 3 drain, 1 frostbite, 1 heal, 1 light. Works well against all classes, but I never won any good level 26+ mages with this build.
(anti-mage build is better)
There's reason why I don't use mana shield: it doesn't have any positive effects. Your m/s is normally 1, so casting mana shield is suicide.
Tactics:
-Against foxes, bears and rhinos: build 1: keep your distance (frostbite, fire) and dip into 8m range only when light is ready.
Build 2: Kite, kite, kite more.
-Against int/dex mages: stay as close as possible, tank them to death. Normally pretty easy thing to do.
-Against other pallies: equip alchemist instead of plat pack armor for this one. Use only auto attack, heal and drain and wait for him to run out of mana and buffs. Then quickly switch to expert armor and nuke him.
-Against int tank mages: prepare to die.
Don't use drain as an offensive skill, use it as a defensive skill. So use it only when you have about 85% or less health left.
