Well, since he's playing hardcore, 20 vita is probably a clever move. I put 10 stat points into vita on my SC mage, and it was enough for climbing + almost every wellmob, but I've also had the pleasure of good heal charms all the way
On hardcore, 40 vita on a mage sounds smarter to me

thanks that kinda the answer i was lookin for... just wonderin if maybe i should go 5-10 more... or will that hurt the crits on my spells? or mana pool as a whole?

Low mana isnt gonna be an issue once you die because you didnt stat enough vita
Id play it safe and go for 40 or 45 to vita.

Putting those base 20 into vita instead of int wont effect your damage too badly, but anymore you may start to see a large decrease in damage

just my opinion though

but is 45-50 Vit gonna hurt it?

i mean i can get int gear to match the lvl... but if i go 45-50 vitality it really shouldn't hurt my dmg as far as crit rates go right?
