Since life steal works as a range now, weller barbs are quite difficult to make. It is cheaper and more effective to make a mage weller. If you really want to do melee, then I would suggest a guardian, but this route is a lot more expensive.

jans is correct. with your fg, you could easily make a weller. 1-2k investment would yield a halfway decent mage weller.

Yes, go Mage Weller. Barb or Fighter Wellers take considerable FG investment.

With your 16kfg, I'd do this:


~500 MQ Weapon
~500 MQ Armor
~2k MQ Damage Charm (Ice or Earth IMO)
~5k MQ Heal Charm (Heal or Focused IMO) most important part of a good Mage Weller


This would probably give you 95-100% Well success.
That leaves ~8k for climbing gear, which I would spend on Melee for catas (fighter/sammy/pally). I would also get some HM gear if you want to cata the Mage too.
