Who cares if it isnt practical? This isnt the place to argue over semantics, they are discussing viable builds. There is no downtime when you account for the points already mentioned.

The point is, meleeing with casting too is more dps then just casting, the question is if you are that fast though. It may not be the most practical idea, but you can't prove it wrong, because there's no way you can lose dps from meleeing during downtime, only gain it.

As the one who claims it works, u should prove it as well with actions, so go ahead fury, teach us ur ways.

Ill say it again, because clearly your blind or ignorant for the facts: there is hardly a downtime to auto. You said you have to swap gear to get some autos. This takes way longer then your skill reload. So you have to delay your skill cast to do one auto attack and THIS hurts your dps. Your not doing extra damage at all. Your just doing a different attack that misses 99% of the time and when it does hit you'll deal 400 damage ish with damage gear.

Hardly a downtime.... With ice, casting blast then shard leaves you with 15 seconds downtime... Yeah, that's not much, only like 12 hasted autos.

Swapping gear? Really easy I do it all the time in pvp, takes a second or less.

I am the one who needs to test....? Where are you pulling this 99% miss from

^We actually leave the arena and arent stuck at lvl 190 killing what... Priest?

That's nice, 15 seconds downtime. In 15 seconds I can almost get off 3 fbs giving a max dmg of about 27k dmg...tell me again how op those autos are? Are you using edl set or occult? If edl, you're missing out on 1000+ dmg on each skill cast. If occult, you're missing out on 200 dmg (which happens to make up at least a quarter of your total dmg with melees).

WIth a full focus build, equipping dl wand and an offhand axe gives me 1904 attack and 988 dmg. My wand ability is 600 from maxed so let's call it 2500 attack and 1050 dmg. Even with a heroic attack lix I'd be surprised if you hit more than 20% of the time on mordris, necro, 210e, or edl 6*s. Each hit will probably be around 300 dmg without edl set. So in those 15 seconds you hit 2-3 times for 600-900 dmg. That's pathetic. And it also makes your energy run out faster (reducing dps) and die much more often (also reducing dps due to attune loss). Test it for yourself furyion (I think Seipper no longer even belongs in this conversation) and let me know how well this "build" works for you

no need to be a pompous jerk criminal. i suggest you reread what fury wrote again.

step 1: go full caster
step 2: admire your newfound potential to actually get kills on bosses
step 3: thank me on this thread and admit your previous incompetence

benefits of this radical new build:
-huge dps boost
-less energy problems
-don't have to waste time and wisdom lix to max wand ability
-makes cloaked mobs much easier to kill
-mitigates aoe damage (in case you weren't sure, once you get out of otherworld, bosses still do in fact have aoe skills)
-eliminates need for haste and attack lix
-you can sell those useless dmg boosting items to buy lix and not be so low level

*accepting input and suggestions to tweak this build, but only from non low-levels*

Yea my mage is full focus only 489 hp at level 53

Am I seeing this right? I wouldn't go disrespecting another mage with a lot of experience at his respective class. I don't disrespect you so you shouldn't disrespect others. It's common decency. Maybe your fancy clan has twisted your perception of reality. I will say this, if you want to talk 'good mages' we can talk about that too !
