First things first, this is DPS. You know, as much damage you can possibly muster.
-I for one love soloing on Super Xp Lixers, so Energy Shield is not for this discussion

Basically, 1500-2000 hp is all you need. Rest Focus
-skills..
Ice shards
Fireball
Incinerate
Cloak of Fire
Lure of Ice
Lure of Fire
Firestorm
Energy Boost
Meditate
Recuperate

...all you need. Max whatever you like
If you want to level fastest, points better off in these than Energy Shield or Freeze
--Trying to kill mob fast as u can, and move to the next one without having to heal or regen for atleast 3 mobs.

For all those energy shielders and freezers. Stay out this discussion please.

1500-2000hp is a lot!!! I'm a solid focus mage( I tested it a lot in beta) and this works best when you have energy shield and freeze:) so you can fight till ur energy shield goes away then freeze the mob to regain energy recast sheild anything you like so u can do max damage with solid focus

So you just don't want to hear that pure focus and eshield is better? I think you can deal more damage with maxed focus.

I'm a pure fire mage with max fire lure, max bolt, max incinerate and energy shield. With sigils or meditate you can be back in the fight quickly. E shield can be cast every 60 seconds and can guard over 1500 health.

Is freeze really necessary? How long is the mob frozen for to regen energy?

Can't you just cast 1 eshield, wait 30 seconds then fight, then recast eshield before first goes off?

Well IF your level 90+ you've gotta have some money(gold) and you can buy pots from other players... Freeze can make so u don't get attacked while casting a spell with high interuptance rate... Or waiting for the pot timer to end if u use pots... Or keeping the mob there so a friend can come help if ur in that desperate of a need

How long does freeze last? Ive heard 5 seconds.

Im lvl 118 and I can tell you this build will not work at my level. Currently I have 1k and maxed out eshield, and I still have issues with 3star mobs. Same lvl trees are ok but 3 star rocks will kill me without a rej pot. Yes, unless you wait between fights to have two shields (on active and one ready) your going to have to use a pot to kill. Two stars and below are fine.


I have fire and ice shreds max, almost max on incinerate, max fire shield and max eshield. Thank god for +4 rings, or I would be in serious problems.

I also don't see a char with 100 focus out damaging me

Ya thats what I'm saying too. Do you think it would be better to specialize more into fire and maxing the lure? I would guess rocks are highly resistant.

Lures really help out a lot in takin down the enemy.
What I normally do is after using book of alteration I do the usual high
Firebolt/ shards then experiment with lures by adding one point at a time starting at level 10 and record how much I hit an compare it to my max. Say my max is 750 with shards and with 14 lure I can hit 720s I know I put in enough skill points into that. Recently I found meditate extremely useful if you don't have meditate so if you have spare points after adding points to your priority skills. I strongly would recommend it.

1500-2000 HP is a must. As said, at higher levels, energy shield doesn't do enough. I tried using the all focus build and was very annoyed eith constantly having to wait on the energy shield cooldown to fight the next mob.

Next reason, nearly all players use pot (they are necessary), without the 1500+ health you can't make full use of the pot as you will never need the 1k health it provides. Same goes for being assisted by a druid and using sacrifice.

Currently I have 225 vitality (which is where it is staying) which gives me just over 1500 health. I also have energy shield at 11/25 for fighting 3 and 4 star mobs and off tanking low level bosses. So far I found this gives much better survivability, as i can use pots between energy shields to keep alive.

Lastly, I have checked the damage from skills and found the max damage lost from 225 vitality is about 140 for ice shards and less for other skills. That is not much when you can still hit for 1200.
