Hello good people and bad people alike!
I have a new build that I'm trying out!
My objective for this post is really quite simple: To get opinions on this build as well as to have people try it out and let me know what you think about it afterwards.
For the record I'm not a pro. I'm just trying this out. I'm not some sort of prestiged player whose been playing this game for months. But I do do pretty decently as far as PVP with this build but training is a little more difficult.
Alright! On to the chase my good people:
Ice Shards: 20/20
Ice lure: 10/20
Energy sheild: 20/20
Meditate: 15/20
Everything else is 1/20
So when I duel I just put up the sheild and use ice shards and wand blast until my enemy dies. I'm level sixty two.
My character is full focus. I don't have ANY points in vitality.
So as I said earlier I would like for people to try this out. I can hit in the 800's with ice shard. My ice ability is 607/750. My sheild has 848 health.
So yea. I would like for people to try this out and let me know what changes can/should be made or whatever.
So here is my question for all of you good and bad people: "What can be done to allow me to train easier whilst also maintaining the overall structure of this build?"
Thank you all, good people and bad people alike.
Re: Ice build
#2Ie shards is too slow for constant dps (i dont believe it has been upgraded since pre update 3). Energy shield is great but not the same anymore, so you have to kill quick or else your done for. Also, i suggest adding energy well, it can help alot if you run out of energy.
That looks more like a PVP ice build.

#3Yes that does indeed provide some insight. Thank you very much for you input. Anything that anyone has to say about this build will be appreciated.
Re: Ice build
#4Hey there, just to say that ice shards got faster casting time, quicker recast and less interrupt than pre-update.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Ice build
#5Hmm... idk.
I'm a lvl 67 mage. I hot 50 vitality.
I put points into Fireball and Lure of Fire as well as Ice Shards/Lure/Shield, simply because I like the additional dmg. The shield can fail if you get too much dmg and then you won't have time to slip in another attack.
It sounds like a good PvP built, but I doubt the effectiveness in PvE.
Edit: Never mind! I love it!![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
But i didn't put any pts in meditate, i decided the remaining points between lure of fire and firebolt.

Re: Ice build
#6Hahahaha, I'm glad you love it! Let me know how it fairs against certain mobs! Also! How well does this build work for you if you just so happen to be lucky enough to have an item that rejuvenates your health and energy in your possession! Please let me know!
Re: Ice build
#7Ok this is exactly the build that admin said the beta group wanted to avoid and the reason all the changes were made.
But, the changes make this build more of a viable option then before.
Having said that I am currently 89th level and when fighting 3 star green eyes I need 1500 HP or I wont survive long enough to use all the energy. So if you have an 800 pt shield you may want to move 100 points into vit.
The goal is to run out of energy and HP at the same time.

Re: Ice build
#8In theory, you could still have the 1500HP equivalent by casting energy shield then waiting 30 seconds before fighting. Then you should be able to cast again before it get dropped. Though you would only have 100HP leway to guess when to recast.

Re: Ice build
#9I do, I got heroic energy and golden focus. I got just enough energy for one PvP fight. Its been working great on wisps/horses/druids (though druid heal and I don't hit enough so I run out of energy eventually).Hahahaha, I'm glad you love it!

@Glan: He did? When? Where? I didn't play a mage in beta so I wouldn't know. Personally, I enjoy that unlike during update 2 we can now chose to built either a ice or a fire mage or a hybrid.

here is admins quote. I dont think ice shards is fast enough to make an ice mage. If we had a few more ice spells then yes unles you do ice shards followed by freeze then wait.
