i keep my focus and vitality stats equal

notice how i said "pretty much"

sure if he gets some earthstone armor + elemental axe + elemental helm + maxed h2h + good lure hell have great damage equal to almost all other classes in the game

but earthstones hard to get (lots of $$$ + super rare)
elemental offhand would seriously lower his energy (and lots of $$$)
elemental helm is meh ok i guess (but again lots of $$$)
maxed h2h will be a toughie to do since he probably hasnt even started h2h (lots of $$$ + time)
good lure he probably already has

aaaanddd getting all of these would seriously injure his parents (or his) budget

most mages dont do this as it is a huge waste of money and effort

Thanks everyone for some good ideas and advice. Got ice attunement and it does seem to help. I know I should ditch the staff and get a good shield and main hand wand or similar but I LOVE my dragon staff and the 30/30 regen is a help. Say do my abilities ever go above 25 at som point? I know that accessories can increase them but the basic 25 does that ever increase?

h2h build is great for overall saving, when he'll really have to pot/elix for all that energy

altough i would like someone to test (my mage is low lvl) h2h mage, mixing fire h2h mage with the good gear + the ammy in shop + new dmg helm + fire dmg beastbone gear (hopefully its gloves and boots)

it can be great imo, high melee + skills + the extra skill can be sacrifice (would work with high health) or energy boost

yeah it could be great but costly....you can try it out if youre rich gustaf
youre gonna have to get some good lux gear if you want good auto
