gonna hit lvl 92 later tonight....and going to be using my respec. so i was curious to your opinions on skills. obv gonna be maxing the lvl 92's as i go, but what about the lvl 81 skills? and for the 51 is cruelty light the only one i should buff? and what about the masteries? i have read about different opinions about only taking ice/light to 10, and other about doing all 3. just wanted to hear from some of you.

max the masteries of the skills u are using... i used all 3 so i maxed all 3. 51s are useful to use i liek them for pvp.

imo i make all masteries. at 92 u can have all buffs/passives maxed and all masteries and still have 81 skills maxed out for the lvl and still 7 points to thrown in to cruelty and any other 51 skill i suppoze. or save them to up ur 92 skills all up to lvl 2,3 etc as that becomes available.

the stuff you 2 are saying might be right, but it's something someonne at 92 can't use at all


basically, i wouldn't max more than 2 51 skills, and only 1 in the beginning. that means: max out the 51 light one because you'll use it the most in pvp because it will get a huge damage boost by imitid lightning

then the 81s: The only one maxing imo is the Thunder Spear, but hear it comes to ur own decision. I would rather max out Energy Hammer because Thunder Spear misses in pvp sometimes and hits max 5 targets. The damage is cool and in PvE the combo of Imitid -> Lightning Circle -> Thunder Spear really hurts, but I don't know to be honest. I'm 150 and got Energy Hammer at 3 and heading to have it maxed.
Max the one of those 2 which you enjoyed the most. at 157 you'll have both maxed out anyway ^.^ Be careful when you max out Energy Hammer. You'll have less points for ur 92s because it energy hammer has lower lvl reqs than thunder spear -> ealier maxed out -> earlier SP used

Get all your masteries and all buffs to Max
Also Max out Spoiled Divinity, Urzer Gain (and Aqua later at 98+) and get ALL rest skills from ur Energy-Tree

Get all Skills from Fire, Ice, Light, too.
Max out all 3 92's


So what to max out:

Mastiers
Buffs
Aqua Circle
lvl 92 skills
lvl 51 lightning skill
Thunder Spear or Energy Hammer (Thunder Spear is in my opinion more mainstream, Energy Hammer more alternative Energy Hammer requires a good wand more than Thunder Spear, too, because it hass more hits and less skilldamage)

Later at 140+ you can max out Thunder Spear/Energy Hammer (depending on what you chose to max out first) or the 51 Fire Skill (less people use Fire resis than Ice and it deals more damage than the 51 ice skill)

Hope that helped Else go to the official 2moons forums and check acidd's guide (should be on page 2 in the mage section).

agreed, i like thunder spear cuz its great aginst ak's ^^

gotcha....i read his guide...just wanted some other opinions ><

and i had debated energy hammer as well since it does physical dmg as opposed to elemental.

edit: i guess i should have stated it is for an all around build....not really built for 1 specific purpose

u dont need other opinions, just do as Nekony said

imo thunder > hammer
rly usefull vs bosses
i spell in that direction if i fight with 1 enemy:
urzer, spoiled, imitid, 51 light, thunder, eddy, aqua, infernal, (if other skills arent ready i use hammer)

ppls says that hammer makes kb or sth like that but dont work vs +7 sets so kb is useless coz most of high lvls got their +7's

then you can also forget about thunder spear, depending on your level

btw, thunder spear suxx vs bosses because they have resis. phys dmg skills will still deal a good amount of damage.
