Ok so you have seen me mature before your eyes from a noob to a respectable mage, amoung the top 5 on my server.

In the past I had minimized health down to zilch, Also I had zero points into shards.

Well things have changed

lvl 120

New build:

5 str
80 dex (helps me dodge 1-5 attacks per fight)
400 energy
140 vitality

(without added stats from gear)

Skills: (in order of importance imo)

24/30 firebolt
31/30 Energy shield
24/30 firecloak
22/30 iceshards
10/30 fire lure
4/30 ice lure (need a few more here, maybe 7 total)
18/30 incinerate

(with added skills from gear)

I have no regen skills because I have about 50 health and 350 energy sigils lol.

As always remember you can cast eshield, and wait 30 seconds before starting battle so you can cast another eshield during battle if you need to on 3 or 4 star monsters.

If you are a lower level, omit incinerate (even if you have it) and focus on the same relative amounts in the other skills as I have.

So like for a lvl 70
15 firebolt
15 energy shield
15 firecloak
10 fire lure
12 ice shards
4 ice lure

for example.

Many people think higher level skills like firestorm and incinerate and even ice shards are better than firebolt and fire cloak. Nothing is further from the truth. Bolt and cloak will always be your bread and butter and your best skills.

I just, like literally 5 minutes ago got incinerate. Seems good. With a few more skill points in it I'm sure it'll be as weapons as they all say. But say i follow that skill build for the lvl 70, I'm 75, when would I start to add points into incinerate?
Also is firestorm a good spell? Got it but it annoys me tbh.

Firestorm sucks imo. I maxed it at 25 pts and it was pretty terrible.

Incinerate really isn't worth your points untill you can nearly max bolt, cloak, shards, and have decent lures.

In any case if you want to use it, just put points into those other big three more than incinerate.

The shards and ice lure just turned Fireshield into Average jack of all trades...

By the time you hit 150, you wont be able to max the fire skills. E shield should be the only ice skill since its supposed to be a heavy dps build.

This came after tons of trial and error, careful examination, and thought. It may look average, but it is actually amoung the highest overall dps you can attain as a mage lol.

Its not about maxing or not maxing skills, it is about dps.

i made a mage recently just to try it out, he is at lvl 83 now

i went full fire with maxed bolt, cloak, and incinerate, the rest of my points split between storm and lure


once i hit the lava area im gonna be useless, but for now i pack a firey punch

Currently I am just 'balanced dps' with the skills. The new fire spells seem cool but ice shards for me is a must have. I use fire bolt, lure of fire, ice shards, lure of ice and cloak of fire. All except cloak of fire is either 30/30 or 30+/30

I'm not sure how much skills are really affected by the loss of a few points like 25/30 but I still do a ton of damage. Of course it never seems up to rogue standards but I won't rant on this topic lol.

Your right pigman, I think all fire is good early on, that way you only have to focus on 1 lure.

But as you get more points, it really is valuable to spread them out so you can be casting nearly constantly, thereby getting more damage out.

Someone needs to do a comparison of all the mage damage spells at like skill lvl 5.

EDIT: I created a new topic on this so don't comment here about this.

(the damage to skill point seems to be linear so comparing them at lvl 5 is enough. 1 point wouldn't quite give enough precision in the results)

That way we can know the dps of each skill, also energy cost, so we can balance our skill sheet correctly with more points in skills that do more dps. Also lures need to be taken into account but that can be a future topic.
