3.2 Caster’s Palace

This section will teach you how to utilize your caster at a high efficiency.

We all know that the main point playing as a caster is because we deal more damage than the listed damage itself. That is called AMP, aka Attack Multiplier.

The AMP takes effect whenever you have more intelligence than your enemy. The higher the difference, the higher the AMP. The limit to the AMP range is 50-150%. This mean you cannot deal more than 150% than the listed damage.

Below you can see how much intelligence you should have when you use your charm as an attack source. It is based on my own experience and research. Hell I’ve been playing as a caster since the pre-release of this game.

Code
Level  Minimum  Recommended  AMP Waste
15      95        100-130      140+
20      100      105-135      145+
25      110      115-145      155+
30      115      120-150      160+
35      125      130-160      170+
40      130      140-170      180+
45      135      145-175      185+
50      140      150-180      190+
55      145      155-185      200+
60      150      160-190      210+
65      155      165-200      220+


The AMP waste is not really a “waste”. It means, if you have higher than that your AMP will not increase most likely, therefore you go for another stats such as heal mastery, max mana/life, mana consumption or mana skin. The higher intelligence the more damage though. It’s up to you to decide with you value more. In hardcore mode you might want to get more life though.

As for level 1 to 14, you might want to do melee. Read section 3.1.
