Hey, so i am currently a lvl 115 mage, i have a focus of the seer, 15 regen bracelet, 30 health and energy regen ammy, 10 regen ring, and 10 regen bracelet, also i have met wand and full met armor. I was wondering what weapons do you use to max your dps, is it h2h and sword or add focus offhand and wand? also what set ups do these for to normally?
Thanks

#2My main isnt a mage, but im pretty sure wands have no strength multiplier, if you want more dps, stick to the focus to add damage and such to your spells, if you want more Auto Attack, Get one of the damaging offhands from 100+ shop. My main is a druid so My advice isn't the best most likely, As i know nearly nothing of Dps.

#3I try to stick with things with focus and energy bonuses as the focus increases your spell dmg. Regen is helpful, but if you use boost then its kinda negligible (not completely, just not as neccessary). I try to stay away from things that increase auto dmg instead, because that helps very little since mages are casting the majority of the time.
Enjoy the little things in life...
One day you'll look back and realize they were the big things.

#4Currently using fire book main hand and a essence blade, thinking of buying 250focus offhand tho.
Wands are almost useless..specially in late game. Try to get some decent regens and skill boosting stuff like rings and aggra braces ( wich can be hard lol i dont have any of em tho:-(, ).

#5The 250 damage offhand axe would be a very viable thing to use in your current build, obviously with hand to hand. As a mage you will get 50% more damage out of it than other classes would if you have a properly adjusted lure.
If you have the right combination of spells, you will be able to get in about 3-6 hits h2h per round of spells. 3-6 hits is 750-1500 damage per round of spells. I seriously doubt that 200 focus can boost your spells by a total of 750-1500 damage per round but you will need to take off your focus and add up how much damage is changed for your spells. then also test and see how many h2h punches you typically get in during cooldown times in 1 round of spells.
Obviously it is a slightly different path for the mage, as you will have less energy, but it also costs less energy to kill monsters since you will have a good and fast auto attack. It is definatly worth considering
.
I have gone both ways and I think both ways are viable.

Why play a class where skills cost more than other classes for same damage?
Why play a class with no auto attack?
Why play a class with 1/3 the armor?
Why play a caster?

#6Again md, you forget, there isn't just one spell! Also you probably aren't taking in main hands attack speed, because even druids know firebolt is pretty fast. Think before you act. 200 foc is the way to go.
Re: h2h vs foucs and wand? (main weapon and offhand what to
#7Ehh, dragonlord wand gives 200 focus.Wands are almost useless..specially in late game.
Just sayin'...

#9Lol who are you? I'm a level 140 mage who has spent dozens of levels doing each. Firebolt is 6 second cooldown, and with heroic gloves AND WITH HAND TO HAND, NO MAINHAND you hit every 1.4 seconds. so between firebolts you can get in 3 auto attacks, 750 listed damage with a lvl 100 axe. sometimes that will be slightly less when firestorm is casting.Again md, you forget, there isn't just one spell! Also you probably aren't taking in main hands attack speed, because even druids know firebolt is pretty fast. Think before you act. 200 foc is the way to go.
