Still grinding on lesser mobs when soloing

SPR from accessories doesn't add to your crit, only to your SP.

I'd recommend you start using Ice Bolt and Lightning Bolt as well. Ice Bolt has a chance to slow your target's running speed, so it's good at the start of a combo. Lightning Bolt does the most damage for mages your level.

The recommended sequence for mages is (taken from JWiki)...

Lightning > Ice > Magic > Fire > Magic > Back to Lightning
or
Lightning > Ice > Magic > Fire > Back to Lightning

Look at your enemy's health and decide which is best... in most cases the first sequence is enough to kill off whatever you're going against. Max cooldown on your MM (as well as SP Consumption) and just spam that away..

Wait, you use [1] skills on mobs at Lv28?

Wow. I think that's the problem.

hyperswoss:that is because I so hate the 15 seconds wait.
Even the maxed cooldown for fire/ice/lightning will be like 15-4.5secs Y_Y

Loveless: Lightning > Ice > Magic > Fire > Magic > Lightning does that mean I need to dedicate some skill points into the cooldown/dmg department too? I've never purchased Lightning magic and I have only Lv1 ice bolt.

AnimosityAlone: will Lightning Bolt lv1 suffice? Some sources indicate that mages only need their lv1 spells.


once again thank you guys for replying. that was fast =).

[Loveless]

I think that with Magic Missile it's been said that using LV1 with reduced SP consumption and cooldown is much better than using it at max level. You're able to spam this skill every 1.3(5) seconds... it's your most basic attack.

Fire Bolt is best to have it's max level no matter what. If you can't get any other skills that's okay but get this maxed. I always have it in my shortcut at LV1 and one with max level available to me at that time. Lightning will do a bonus damage and it's always great to have one more damage dealing spell. Same with Ice Bolt, if it slows the enemy down you can kill it before it even reaches you. If you can't afford to buy the next level that's fine... but try to if possible.

[AnimosityAlone]

Try to get Lightning Bolt at the max level. I use FB and MM at level 1 for fast cooldown, but I keep Lightning Bolt maxed for damage.

[kinokunya]

I guess I'll have to empower on the cooldown time for FB then .. I guess I really need lightning and FB scrolls then ...

Thanks for the advice. I always thought that lightning effects were cool, but always classify them as another spell the game makers threw in to the disposition of mages with arrays of spells. Never knew that lightning have bonus damage on mobs o_O.
