Unconventional Battle-Mage build
Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2015 6:12 pm
So... I don't like cookie cutter type builds.
The mage set-up I've been running, and will continue to run while leveling is as follows:
Level 114 Mage
Cloak of Fire
Fire Bolt
Firestorm
Fire Attune
E-Shield
Gear:
Haste Gloves
Fire Damage Helm
Fire Damage Off-hand axe
Bare hands
Krons/Cronach Bladeleaf Set
Fire Attune Ring
Fire Bolt Ring
Firestorm Ring
Meteoric Armor
Two Wyrm Stat bracer
At 120:
Substitute two Wyrm bracers for 2 Aggy Cloak of Fire bracers (or e-shield)
At 140:
Substitute Krons/Cronach set for Comrak Bladeleaf, Jalans at 150
Firebolt gloves then the Firestorm Boots
Substitute Hero gloves for Haste ring
At 150:
Level 150 Fire axe
Now, you may be thinking what the heck is this guy doing?
Having fun.
Sure I could go full focus with a focus Aggy book and Focus of Seer or shield... but that isn't as fun to me. I like variety in my build and loved playing a battle-mage in Lineage II.
The whole idea behind this build is high auto damage with damage boosting gear, with the ability to take shots and hit hard with Firestorm/bolt with supplemental auto damage in between. So far, it has worked really well for me as I don't feel like I'm wasting precious DPS between spells casting.
Between Fire Bolts, I'm usually able to get off 3-4 auto his for 150-250 a piece along with my cloak dealing anywhere from 90-180ish damage or so per.
Again, this build is FUN for me... and still does great damage.
