what about a hybrid say, a caster that had a primal blade (for regen and does a little dmg), haste ring, and maybe h2h but put points into firebolt, firestorm, cloak, attone, e shield, lure, and incinerate? or maybe a different offhand
actually hybrid mages sucks, believe me
well ik how good h2h mages can be, i stopped trying to be one, its fun too but u need to have good stuff so it'll be really effective
lure of fire, fire bolt , e. shield
i wouldnt say cloak is very good tho, maybe storm/attune, inc sucks too
u need to have es, even lesser isnt really the best, u need to buy the best dmg helm, fire offhand, dmg ammy, dmg bracelets, dmg rings (skills rings everyone need), dmg charms
all of those are the hardest stuff to get, im stuck with lesser solstice bp and greaves + greater solstice ammy so i quit being h2h mage, and my offhands+helms were already ice
h2h is good, sometimes fun sometimes annoying if u like using skills like some of us, the stats r easy to build but need to choose the best skills and the best dmg gear which cost tons
if u got sigils u can go for freeze btw, soloing with freeze can give u time to lure (it wont break the freeze) or regen
