Your focus should get high enough quick enough that you have decent mana regen without needing it to be boosted on your equipment.įirst thing's first, unlearn Magma Spear as soon as you get to the Estherian Enclave, and pick up Prismatic Bolt. If you can get a bit of health recovery as well that can reduce how many potions you're using since you can somewhat heal up between gropus of mobs. (IMO) Armor and such, focus on getting vitality and focus upgrades, and then whatever elemental defense is appropriate for the areas you're in.
Also, once you get enough focus, you won't be doing normal attacks hardly at all, so the slight advantage of ranged attacks isn't really worth it. Two wands are sometimes better if you're going to be doing normal attacks, but since your spells go off of your main hand weapon's overall damage, each hit will do a lot less, and you don't want to waste mana on weaker spells, you'll blow half your money on potions that way. That's about it, not to complicated and playing solo on veteran level it works very well, I am just about finished with Act III.I stick to a staff for the higher base damage for spells. I use a wand/shield combo 90% of the time, Dual wands just for a change.
I keep the pet set on aggressive mode so it runs ahead and tanks for me.Īhhh here's the rub.this game is all about loot, of course. I tried the archers, but since they are stationary, they are not as useful as minions that follow you. The overall effect is somewhat like the Necromancer from Diablo 2. Keep updating the spell levels as you advance in levels. I use the pet's 4 magic slots for Summons MagicĬurrently I have 2 skeletons, lvls 3/4, Nether Imp, and Zombies (poison type) This sometimes requires some kiting but nothing to worry about.įrost Phase 1/15 Teleport is always good for a mage in a tight spot!įire/Ice/Electric Brand 15/15 but give priority to the active skills.Īdventuring -the extra percentage of effectiveness for potions helps The build uses only 3 offensive skills from the mage's point of viewįor each attack start with Hailstorm and Blazing Pillar, follow them up with Prismatic Bolts, then recast Hailstorm and Blazing Pillars when the timers reset, using PB as needed for mop up. This has been played on veteran difficulty This is the build for us lazy, button pushing, critter killing older gamers.
