In combat

Last night in my guild, we were debating which build of mage would win when in a guild war.

For instance.. Geddy and I. We're both lvl 40 mages. My build is 1:2 INT:SPR. His build is 1:1 END:INT. They came to the conclusion that I'd win if we were to fight. Because.. even though he has more END, it doesn't really help mages. We still have low defense, it only gives him 150 more HP than me, but since I have more SPR, magic defense, and I have more chances on critting him. Also, I wouldn't run out of SP as quickly as him. I have about 300 more SP than him I believe.

What build do you guys think would be best for pvp combat?

Even though i've never participated in a guild war, my instincts tells me that SPR would totally own. Burst damage is what makes people lose their cool in combat. They'd expect a 300-400 hit (at your level i'd guess), but BAM! you get that lucky crit, and have him/her scrambling on their keyboard for their stone/pot.

Yeah, and Mana drain and purge are very useful in guild wars ^o^

Currently im going 1:1 Str, Int. Is that a good alround build or does it need changes?

STR doesn't do anything for mages. If you want damage, look more into INT, and SPR. Int does Mdamage, SPR gives you SP and raises your crit rate.

Whoops, i ment SPR and INT 1:1. My bad.

im End : Spr built...with End rings and equipments stats..the extra amount of hp gain is useful..

I'm going 1:1 INT and SPR. So far its working out quite nicely. I just buy one ring of INT and one ring of SPR to constantly try and balance them out... despite the fact that SPR is still and will always be lower than INT.

im currently going 3:1 int:spr, this build is effective because u do a lot of damage, and if ur in a party with a good tank, I dont have to take much damage.

im thinking for lvl 100 i would go 69 int (with 18 from job change bonus it makes a +100 MDAMAGE)

then 6 end... too even skills

and then 25 SPR... but other wise 75/25 int/spr (3:1)
