honestly for a weller mage.... i've been crit for 2000 damage MANY times. I do a basic 10 points first to vita. By time you're 75, you'll have over 7500 mana anyway.
my 77 mage has 2340 life, 7838 mana and has a 99% success as i've died only 13 times to severe crit strikes.
your weapon and armor should be 35+ intell (cheap enough for lvl 55 only 200-300 fg per item) and I'm personally comfortable with 130+ ee charms. There is nothing wrong with lightning charms, they're cheap and crit high and you will never hit for zero.
as for healing, more the merrier. I use a 168 ee lvl 50 focus heal, on accessory it heals about 500 life per. I implore anyone to use focus because I've been hit locked with monsters hitting me for 400-700 dmg and I can only heal that fast.
conclude;
- 10 vita to use your first points
- armor/weapon 35+ intell
- charm 130+ ee (dont be afraid of lightning or winds!)
- focus heal only; 130+ ee
- result; easily 95% success.
thank you this will help me alot.. will keep this thread till i get this mage set up
the biggest challenge now is how to get a mage lvl to 50+ lol
