max fire attune
max firebolt
max firestorm
max ice shards
Rest in lure of fire
had to drop eshield but its worthless now anyways. Stealing agro with shield or no shield, Im dead anyways.
This is best burst and long term damage. If you start with bolt, it will be ready to cast again by the time shards and storm are casted.

Now that ice blast is worthless theres no point in using ice attune or ice lure for one spell. Only have enough points for one lure so I chose fire due to having 2 fire spells in use. Firestorm has btter cast times than blast as well

Incinerate is higher DPS than storm still so you might want to consider swapping those around for max damage. If you still like the variety of having some AOE dmg then keep storm.

Actually, as someone who doesn't cast ice lure often, it's not that bad without it. Rather than spend time getting your sheild shreaded while you are on a lure cast, you get pretty much the same damage as a lured bolt, sometimes a bit more. It's kind of like just firing off another shot. Sure it costs a bit more, but it isn't awful by any means to just fire it off without the lure, particularly when soloing.

So essentially, no ice mages. I have worked hard for ice rings and bracers, and given up fire buff equipment. I am starting back at square one if fire is the only build that can be made for a Mage now...otm needs to just return our skills.

Not a bad guide.I will ask some of the mages on Rhiannon to post their build here and see what you can try.

Your fire lure better be roughly 15-25. You better at least have 5 points into ice lure for shards.
