Efficiency ftw
Grinding is not about killing as fast as possible. Real grinding is killing as fast as possible while being as efficientas possible.
lvl 1-25 you need to do nothing more then spam lvl 1 MM to grind quite successfully.
lvl 25+ I've found I've needed to add a bigger nuke to start. I use 2 combo's:
1. Max lvl Firebolt then spam lvl 1 MM till monster is dead.
2. While firebolt's CD is going I'll use a max lvl Icebolt then spam lvl 1 MM till monster is dead.
3. Rinse and repeat.
1a. Harder mobs w/ higher hp I do Icebolt -> Firebolt -> spam lvl 1 MM
If I get a crit I won't take any dmg at all. If I don't then I may take 1 or 2 hits, so I do use a hp pot every 2-4 mobs(Make your own!!). However, I only use SP pots in an emergency. When I'm out of sp I rest. It usually takes at least 20 mobs to run out of sp.
Thunderbolt is worthless. Lifetap is worthless. mana burn and purge are worthless unless you pvp. MM over lvl 1 is useless. So, as far as skills go keep firebolt and magic burst maxed also buy dispel. That's a ton of saved $ and I don't think any other class can boast that.
One more note. I realize this is a free game, but for $5 every 90 days you can equip your character with an extraordinarily better mini house that makes resting much less of a pain. Com'on now, Fiesta's made a pretty decent lil game here. There shouldn't be much hesitation to supporting(in however small way) it financially. Don't they even have SC cards that can be bought in grocery/Rx stores for those w/o access to a credit card? Thought I read that.
