for my mage I never melee, I do chains up to 10, keep 3 good shrineables, go dump them in, regen the mana, 10 chain, repeat

I never melee the mage, you want your proficiency for your attack charm and heal charm, not to go to staff/dagger, just do 10 chain

and shrine 2-3 items and yuo never run out of mana, this is how I use my mage for 3 climbs and worked very fast for me.

stopping at 69 tonight will finish off tomorrow

That´s what I have been doing the last 12-13 mage climbs I have done..
Works very well.

However, at lower levels I use max mana items to boost my mana.
My low level charms are good enough to 1 hit almost everything so max mana really helps.

I couldn't agree with you more, I have over looked this in lower levels, my charms are good aswell, and

have heard of this before, but I seem to never do it but I do agree with you 100% on the max mana items

good call Nonni and good advice for lower level mages just starting out.

Hah. My last mage climb I melee'ed him to 30.

Not Recommended. And I had good staves/daggers. About 18-30 was torture.

On a side note.. fresh find!

R.I.P.

Well, level 11 atm.
Started casting now, but I also melee a bit, too.

Is it me or does Glyphing still lag far beyond belief?

I'll be doing perfect on a glyph past halfway, then all of a sudden 3 commands flash at once and the whole thing blows up. What the hell are you supposed to do in that situation?

Wow, offically raging that thats not level 40 :rage:

Still, an amazing find Ed


@ Thomas. Delete that character man, I cry when I look at it

Joshie seems to be having some success, so I don't know.

I stopped trying about 3 days after it came out. Levels too slowly for my taste; I'd rather climb.

Last few days have been brutal. Havn't even bothered to glyph.

Really bad lags Jay.
