Focus/damage

I recently asked a high level mage how to increase the damage my spells cause and was told that by increasing Focus my spells would hit harder. What should i set the ratio Focus/Vitality to? I do have armor that is supposed to increase the amount of spell damage for certain spells but don't really seem to see a big difference. Have also some rings that give extra levels but once again dont really see a difference. Right now i have 431 in Focus which gives 3080 in Energy and 341 in Vitality for2718 health.

IMHO, too much vit and not enough focus. At 170-something or another, I have 270 Vit with the rest in focus. I use eshield to supplement my vitality, occasionally, on three star (and some four star) mobs of level, timing my eshield so I can cast it twice on the mob.
Try a rebirth book, moving over about 100 points or so to focus and see if you like the result.

I agree with xan, my 162 only has 2500hp. With over 6k energy. But i run a 45/35 shield to supplement while solo lvling also with the new 500dmg shield from focus ammy as well and i do fairly decent for tissue paper armor. With shadow aggy book and good rings my top hit is ruffly 4100 at 162. Not bad for fire mage.

I agree with Xan, Im a lvl 191 and run 400 vit with adds I have 1370 in focus. At your level I wouldnt run over 200 that ofc would be without e-shield.

It's something like 1 fire bolt damage and 1.25 fire storm damage per focus. Not sure about the ice skills.

There is no good or bad setup. Are you dying far too much? Increase your vitality/get better armour. Are you finding that you have a lot of health and not dealing enough damage? Increase your focus.
As a general rule, your focus/vitality ratio should be around 3:2 focus:vitality. This is your base stats, without the stats given with armour/weapons/ect.
