Celtic Heroes

Hi guys im Luuk (138druid)

Im looking to make a mage but, what shall i make

1:Hybrid
Ice shard
Firebolt
Cloack of fire
Energy shield

Because before update everybody was like hybdrid

2:Fire
Fire attument
Firestorm
Firebolt
Cloack of fire
Lure of fire (lvl1)

3:Ice
Ice attument
Iceblast
Ice shard
Energyshield
Lure of ice

I got now a mage thats a fire mage, and i got all skills for mage so thats not a problem.(lvl49)

I think its mainly solo but idk
Do i need to use energy boost?

I only need to get heroic ammy( i got 100 req ammy)
Soo all no problem, there anytype of stats i need to watch for or same as my druid????

I need much sigils ( i only got like 30-50) on druid and maybe less, theres never a problem on energy but mage is diffrent, right

Don't put lure at 1. Better off putting a couple points in it at least. You'll know you need energy boost when you start to level, and how many points you need to put in it.

u dont need e.boost if u can afford some lux to the mage, and do not use cloak of fire, half max lure of fire, rest do in e.boost/sacrifice for energy, e.shield for surviving or ice shards/inc (i prefer ice shards and using lure of ice at lvl 1) for dps

i dont use eboost or eshield on my mage
just have a 3:2 vit:focus ratio
eshield is just more hp right? so i just stuck more points in vit and didnt bother with eshield

loss of dps? pts in eshield i moved to ice shards along with my normal fire build
ice shards i think makes up for the missing focus points

my mage is 50 right now (not that high) but never runs outta energy while leveling and obviously doesnt have very big survival issues due to the extra hp
he also has (basically) no gear except for woven sorcerous pants/shirt and duskshadow cowl, gloves, and boots
he basically has no mainhandoffhand (has a 60% wizard staff) but he rarely autos so it doesnt matter anyway

anyone find any issues with this build?

skills are:
firebolt (maxed)
firestorm (maxed)
fire attunement (maxed)
lure of fire (half maxed)
ice shards (will try to at least half max this)
bandage wounds (extra points)

technically the skill cap raised to 17 at lvl 50 so the skills arent actually maxed...but you get my meaning

interrupts dont really happen that much anyways imo
only skill that sometimes gets interrupted is firestorm which can be annoying

Imo i would say stats wise 3:2 focus :vit
This is because having it the other way around 3:2 vit :foc wont make much of a diff. in survivability, due to the low armour. as a mage u cant hold off a mob for long, your goal is to kill it before it kills you. focus increases dmg of ur skills, which means you kill faster.

At higher levels, you're gonna start feeling the burn to the point where you're probably gonna have to use resto pots to kill things at a good rate. I'm leveling a mage right now lvl 100 with luxury items and it's been a pain blowing through a good amount of pots leveling the higher I got.

hmm you must be doing something very wrong then. please post your build so we can fix it.

if 3:2 vit:foc wont make a difference 2:3 vit:foc wont make a difference
i heard somewhere from armo that each focus increases bolt by 1 damage and storm by approx 1.25

so every level thats a 1 damage difference
my mage currently has no energy problems with a hero ammy so the extra energy is useless
extra vit i like since no eshield which almost every mage uses (so they can use extra focus and still have good survivability)

mage can kill most mobs lvl 55 fairly quickly
exception is the ironclads which can take around 5 shots

if 3:2 vit:foc wont make a difference 2:3 vit:foc wont make a difference

I think what they meant was having that extra vitality in a 3:2 ratio compared to a 2:3 ratio, you will still die really quick. Except, in the 2:3 vit:foc ratio, you will deal more damage.

I am currently using a sweet ice build:
Ice attunement: 25/25
Ice shards: 22 (26)/25
Ice blast: 20 (25)/25
Lure of ice: 12 (15)/25
Fire bolt: 20/25
Energy boost: 12/25 (50 regeneration)
Lure of assassins: 6/25
Recuperate: 1(6)/25 (just for extra regen)


I have basic gear, full celestial armour except lore mantle robe. Masters grim, meteor wand. Rings are shown above, and a 30 pierce resistance bracelet. Its working awesome.
