Personally, i havent tried this, but I've thought about it, and maybe someone might like it? Ik mdiam said something about this.....

Max cloak
Max lure of fire
Max e shield
Max e boost
Max incinierate

Simple, with a golden fire blade, and heroic gloves, with the golden helm of intensity you should be autoing 200s (with the amazing lure) and have your cloak and incinerate combo for insane damage.

Also, with only e shield being your main energy deprivation, the max e regen really helps

I've said this before but at least before the patches showed that the casting time and therefore interruption of ininerate is painfully slow so it got interrupted and even with shield up still worse than firebolt. Even shards/icelure was better than incinerate before the patches and I would imagine now as well.

4. Energy Boost: better to always keep its lvl higher than Energy Shield

For arguments sake, if we remove the skill above, what is your next choice?

Shards/ice lre

but you knew that was what I'd say

but of course. I have been playing with the numbers at great cost in books of alt. The latest has cloak, firebolt, and shield maxed with 15 in lure of fire and 19 in shards. I imagine shards would perform better with some of that in lure of ice. I do know that shards by itself is all over the map damage wise and with 900/1000 in ice magic I still have to deal with mob evades about 50% of the time. Frustrating to say the least as energy use is a huge issue with Mage.

But shards with a no ice lure would be complete unfathomable, lol.

Max incinerate is easily 250 a tick? I think thats a lot better than hitting a 500 with your ice shards, plus the incinierate stacks with fire lure, so you can save the points instead of putting extra in ice lure for your shards.

This is my current build minus incinerate. Those points have went into ice shards but with the spell evaded quite a bit and damage varying from 200-800 I feel it is a crap shoot when speaking to its effectiveness.

Cad, why Ice shard and not Firebolt?

Here are reasons why firebolt but incinerate nor iceshard
- Incinerate casting time take 3sec which is quite high chance of interruption while firebolt take 1sec with uninterruptable
- Incinerate at lvl30 for example can dmg up to 1.5k (dif focus gives dif dmg) in 23sec including casting time while firebolt at lvl30 can dmg up to 850/shot and we can do 4firebolt in 23sec which will be 3,400 dmg in total. Big difference!
- Iceshard can make great dmg in 1 shot for example at lvl30 can dmg up to 1.5k which shorten 1.5k of an enemy health in 2sec (casting time) but cool down time for next shot is 15sec and its still interruptable casting while firebolt will do 850 in every 5sec
- Iceshard will take skill pts for lure to highen or max its dmg and lure of ice doesn't give benefit to other skills. we can save these skill pts for better choices
- If mages don't have problem with energy regen, i would lower E-boost and go for iceshard but most mage do so melee is brought here as alterative and it works very well. Thus, cutting off other skills (incinerate & iceshard) is not only save energy and skill pts but it also save time of casting for more melee hits

Hope I've given u enuff reasons :-D

Good reasons ilegend

Though, your never ever ever guranteed constant 850s (unless your 150ish), and hitting a 1.5k ice shards wi no ice lure on a level 130 monster? Never going to happen, lol, max hit I'd give you is probably a 500.

Incinierate is never interruptible with an e shield, and instead of wasting excess amount of points in ice lure AND ice shards, just out it into incinierate, or firebolt.

Thank Notsofast

I didn't mean contants 850s coz all attacks randomly go from 50%-100% of its max dmg but I used dmg pts for comparison between each skill without mentioning lures. ofcoz most mobs have resistant which attacks without lures can make dmg to mobs as same amount of ur dmg pts

"Incinierate is never interruptible with an e shield" good point! but i'm sure that u probably have faced a situation beofore that ur incinerate keep missing target and ur e shield gone before ur second or third attempt incinerate casting. And when u have druid with u, u prolly don't need e shield, right?

1 more point, boost ur dps as high as possible (with energy saving concept) to have higher chance to kill enemy fast enuff before ur e shield and health run out so all my reasons support firebolt

FH

ice magic better then fire and also dragons have good fire resist so better ro lvl ice shards,lure of ice and energy shield.
at high lvl u can have only 3.5/3 high skills
i thiink for mages golden blade of ice/orb/masters grimore better

Book or melee?
Book adds 5.5% dmg of each skill while blade add 200 dmg to melee
Where r u leading to?

Ok so at level 100 my build is as follows
Str 5
Dex 60
Focus 360
Vit. 100

Lure of Fire 25/25
Cloak of Fire 25/25
Firebolt 25/25
Energy Shield 25/25
Recuperate 5/25

Golden Helm of Intensity
Greater Solstice Breastplate
Greater Solstice Greaves
Heroic Gloves of Haste
Heroic Boots of Speed
Golden Blade of Fire

Greater Midsummer Blackthorn Necklace
2 of the +4 Heat Damage Bracelets

My build is a Melee h2h build and has been very effective for me. I can solo 3* mobs 5 levels higher than myself with just one energy shield cast. 4 stars usually take two casts. Firebolt maxes at 650 but averages 450 and cloak does about 150 per tick on average. My h2h maxes at 322 but averages 260-270.

Ur build is great crewmachine
Only blade is an expensive equipt and u can solo even 4stars at lvl100! Cant imagin when u have radiant equipts and even rings +40 heat :-D

I abit wonder how u regen energy!
