Help a solo mage
Posted: Sun Jun 15, 2014 2:05 pm
So I made a mage after playing a cleric for many years and am loving it. I have some questions about my playing though. First my spell line up. I multi bind fickle,spear,rain of blister, then second best spear. If I am concerned about something nearby agroing I replace rain with bolt. Is this the best spell line up I could be using? I rarely use the RS because to me it seems to be a mana sink and not enough dps. Should I include it into my weave? My play style is I like to go to the alaran underground cathedral in shards and I clear pew by pew. It is good Aa xp and it helps level my tear and it is also a great source of plat. I do not use my malo spell I always use the Aa is that wise? My burn consists of popping improved twincast, fire core, first spire, and arcanum ( I am unsure what arcanum does exactly). I made a mage to solo so need to know what I can do to optimize my DPS. I do things such as pop twincast when it's up as well as click off iceflame when running virulent. Also I got the best current EM ear I could get which is from neriak. I also am using the bloodclaw staff with an alleviating burst Aug in it what's the next staff I want to upgrade to? It seems staff's offer better bang for my buck over a primary and a shield. Sorry for all the questions it's a lot of stuff I have been meaning to ask for some time. Thanks in advance!
