Pvp Mage build
 

Im thinking about making a mage, i want to make it very strong at pvp. what stats shud i use?

INT/SPR.


Yes, full INT may give you more damage, but crits. are more important in PvP.

I'm only level 66 but I like my full INT build (with high END gear). I don't have 25SPR but I still crit a bit. Can't I crit heaps and heaps, but yeah. Use wand for PvP too, and try to find one with a high % crit (I think the highest is 6% except blue wands which gives 8%?). Find one with a max lic too for extra crit, but it might be costly.

Keep in mind you probably wouldn't shine in PvP until you get 60+ for fear. So have some patience. You may get owned a lot in PvP below 60, but it pays off when you get higher... xD

hmmm, i think ima do 25 spr and go pure int after that

If that's the case, I think you should go 1:1 spr/int until you reach 25 spr? I'm not sure if it'll be too hard for you to level if you're going pure SPR in your first levels...

it is true base on what blaaaaaaaaaaah had said... It is better to go at least 30 int... then start add to SPR... until 25 spr go back to int ... If you go 25 spr first, it will be really hard to lvl the first 25 lvl .... well unless you are a cashshop user and got +9 armors etc... and plenty of tier 2 vit ^^

But that Int/25 spr Is that a good idea? I will hit hard and the crit would maximize it.

i do the same (25spr /rest on int) and i hit fine , i spam a few crts here and there manytimes but then again i dont use a +9 XD so i dont have any +crt on it.

PVP mages fail...

:P

If you are on Apoline, I can give you the name of a PVP mage and she can help you. :ninja:

Im on eptih but i can make & play my mage on Apoline

INT/END

Godly SPR gears.

And lots of critical SC items.

You'll be epic.

^Why SPR gears though? You don't get the biggest benefit of crit% from equips, END from eqs. is arguably more useful.

While this is true, The fact that SPR is the blue stuff you need to keep on blasting, A critical Neo glasses (4%) Critical Whatever uniform (7%) And like, The mara hat (3%) Would put you well above a normal critical rate, Without wasting the stat points, And it''s not all that much SC either.

Then why can't you focus on getting END equipment instead of SPR equipment? I don't think that Mages have trouble with their SP, at least not enough to justify getting SPR eqs.


END on eqs. benefits a Mage more than it would in stat.points, because SPR from eqs. doesn't have the crit. bonus. while block bonus from END was never there to begin with. Just seems to me that it's more benefit with the 5% + crit rate from stat point SPR (or even in INT) rather than the same amount in END which you can very easily get from equipment.

[Critical] Blue Dragon Wings 5%, [Critical] Blue Dragon Costume 7% + 25spr 5% + Neo Glasses 4% = 21% Crit rate :)

Touche'

But the fact remains, Mages have no need for STR, or DEX, (But if i ever saw a DEX mage, I'd run) So if you have 2 main areas to allocate your stats, Then which one is to be left out?

SPR-Increases critical rate and MAX SP
INT- Increases overall magical damage
END-Increases MAX HP and block rate(?)
Critical SC items speak for themselves. So i'll let you pick from the 3. But i stand by my INT/END build, it's worked wonders for me, Though i find myself running out of SP usually every 2 times i go down my spell row.

If you're completely factoring the CS in your build, why not mention the +9s? +9ing something doubles its defense, so it makes it so that you don't even have to add points to END.


Heck, CS makes it so that you don't have to use your stat-points at all :nahnah:

if the mage only have SPR/INT it will be good for pvp but not really for aoe at abyss or in the dungeon he will die fast

A good point, +9'ing your equips would give you a definite boost to both your Mdmg and Critical rate. And when it comes to mages, The armor is a definite YES.

Problems are the expenses.

Some people resort to selling SC items to meet the demands of +9's.
And never know it's illegal till' it's too late.

Goodbye, 75% of the first gen players! I knew you well!

And i can buy godly mage gear including End Gear <,< +9 them and it will return the lost Def

Now that I think about it, the best PvP build if you're going to splurge on CS would have to be Full-INT.


END would be useless because you'd be +9ing your armor. SPR is useless because you can easily get crit items. And though you'll be +9ing your weapon, points into INT punch through defense, something that you can't buy and especially effective against other C-Shoppers.

SPR/INT with godly end gear and critical SC items........ Nice combo. And the AOE on him would be massive, btw. INT is magical damage, And SPR is the amount of blue stuff he can pump out.

uhhmm SPR/INT build is only good for pvp and not really for dungeon or aoe because the mage will die faster then a mage with END(for hp and more def)/INT/SPR

Second time you said this -.-

Yes, But don't forget the +9 armors and such. They count more then some measly points in END.

yes... and the end wont raise the mage's def much.

I believe this thread is about PvP builds.


PvE =/= PvP. Mages need to +9 armor for PvP, otherwise they're OH'KOed by Axers. The true beasts in the game.

Are you kidding me? It doubles at +9, Meaning that whatever your whimpy storebought armor is now, it's like, 3x tougher. And lets not forget that if it has stats, Preferrably godly, It'll add just that much more own.

true true i always kill the mages in like 3 hits at pvp maybe 2

I dont mean End on Gears but adding end to ur stat build... End on gear is indeed nessesary

I think that was posted about END in free-stats.

Try and kill mine. :D

20END
15INT
Godly +9 lvl 30 gears
Mighty potion.
Full critical outfits.
And a bad attitude.

I wud like to 1vs1 but we're not on the same server :(

I've seen level 60-something fighters fall right into an archers kiting trap.
Took him down with all sorts of nasty duration moves.

I've seen a 80 fighter go down by a 60 mage. All because of the mages' mad skillz and stuff.

Level stops mattering after 60+, When stats play a more important role in your gears and such.

True True

Any other idea of making the perfect mage?

I think a full SPR mage with high End & Int gears would also be good at pvp because i heard Int on gears is different to Str.
and also a lvl 80 pure spr mage can get 28% crit without cash shop items

uuhhm END/INT is the best build for a low and high lvl mage,i dont know yet if its good for pvp (i am trying it on my lvl 23 mage)

if ur lvl 23 with ur mage... how do you know its the best build? and no build is the best build u just got to know how to play with it

im playing with it and its the best build because with END more def and HP thats what a mage need , and INT for hitting harder

like we said like 5 times in this thread... End Wont raise ur def much unless u have +9 gear.... and like i said, no build is the best. u need spr for sp and crit. u can get end (hp from green items)

plus, adding end takes away your capacity to do massive damage. if you can kill the mob quickly, do you need to last that long?
