That is the question. Weather tis nobler to suffer the difficulty and ap cost, or to scrap your build and by switching end them?
Seriously though, whats wrong with my mage?
Its flat out terrible!
It has 262 base int
Its magic mastery is rank 4
All of the bolts I use are rank one.
Its total level is 405
I'm not sure how good that is but I'd guess it would be decent.
Yet my damage is terrible!
I can't do the hard missions it gives me for g11. I barely put a scratch in even the weakest monsters.
I'll post any information that will help you out but someone please tell my why my damage is so bad and if its even salvageable.
Thanks you. :T_T:

Stop relying on bolts and go with adv magic.

Don't go with elemental masteries in g13 till you've maxed a adv magic.
Oh, and since you're probably just gonna start on adv now, it may be hardest atm since your int isn't particularly that high and g13 is coming soon meaning magic nerf.

Well let's see here. You should probably start focusing on a single element dependent on what you feel most comfortable with lol Get yourself a wand (not ego), upgrade it and get that elements intermediate magic. I wouldn't suggest ice. G13 is around the corner, so bolts will make a comeback. Make sure to pick up your elements mastery and bolt mastery. Firebolt should be nice, with the masteries, a chaincast wand, mana reduction set, intel bonus (g13 formula 20 int for 1% im pretty sure), and class bonus you can start looking at some serious payload.
That's all fine and dandy but what can you do now? Get to work on a mana reduction set, most of the pieces aren't too rough to get. Invest in a pet as support when things get nuts. And please, finish magic mastery lol nothing sucks more than running out of mana. Thunder is always a good spammable
intermediate magic skill, however it can cost a lot in mana so you'll definately want a -40% mana wand and reduction set. It's also easy to get.
Priority, finish magic mastery. Get bolt mastery and elemental mastery. Upgrade a wand. If you can't wait for G13, then get thunder and rank that up.

I'm working on rank 6 thunder. -_- I just need the ap for it. Which I'm also close to getting. I don't have any other adv magic. Fireball page three has haunted me for 2 years and I'm stuck on exp journal 3 and I don't have th money to buy it nor do I plan too.

Since you've started thunder, finish that. Finish magic mastery. Get lightning mastery asap.

I'm not saying you shouldn't mage. You should.
At much higher levels, mages deal the highest damage... imo anyway.

Whats a good mana reduction build? Should I rank enchant for int? Which type of wand should I get (Ego-able[not that I'll ego it]or the non-egoable 60k ones) should I get? Should I get bolt composing also? And should I choose fire or lightning? (I'm leaning towards lightning)

Mentosftw wrote on 2011-01-10 22:21
Don't go with ego wands...
Also, nay-say with bolt composer, it's pretty gimmicky cuz of the long cast times and I suggest don't try it till you're a pretty sufficient adv magic mage.
Go with lightning, the book is easy to get.
I think the magic school uniform is mana reduction. Ask Tera.

Lightning will be easier; thunder is beast, fireball is slow :s thunder can be fired prematurely, fireball cannot. Get a crystal lightning wand, upgrade -40% mana reduction. Shouldnt cost too much prof. Other than that wand, idk why you'd choose anything else :) Ego wands are obsolete by far. (no offense to anyone who <3's them). Mana reduction set is on wiki, but I can look it up and post it if you need me to.
item name : amount reduced
Karis Wizard Suit 4
Karis Wizard Shoes 4
Magic School Shoes 3
Mongo's Wizard Hat 3
Magic School Uniform (F) 3~4
Magic School Uniform (M) 3~4
Broad-brimmed Feather Hat 3~4
Mongo's wiard hat, school uni, and karis shoes if you can afford it. Otherwise get a tailoed broad hat and/or school uni with magic school shoes.
Oh and you need +10 or more in the set to get the bonus. In case you didn't know ^^ this along with lightning mastery in G13 and -40% (-45% with gem upgrade i think) crystal lightning wand should make thunder spammable. You'll need to get pots too I'm sure, and high rank magic mastery for the int/mp
Site with which I got the set bonuses from

...hmm misread something. Anyway if you get the elemental masteries, have bolt mastery and composer that's an extra 45% damage o.o plus loading time is decreased.
