Since all of our Pure int weller mages are now deemed useless for welling (aside from those with thousands of fg invested in it), what is the next step to counteract this?

Start adding dex? Or has the mage fallen off the Top 5 list for Best Solo Chars?

Really what is the point of casting anymore if you can't do damage and then have to REGEN it? Sure mana cost has gone down, but now it'll just take longer to complete a chain, esp with only face value damage

yeah i would like to know too ><"

Basically a change of gear:

Weapon: 35+ Int... 5+ Crit Strike... +5 Armor Pierce (this would be deemed very good)
Armor: 80+% Enhanced Effect... 35+ Int... 5+ Crit Strike... +5 Armor Pierce (again... very good)
Attack Charm in Main Slot: 100+% Enhanced Effect... 5+ Crit Strike... +5 Armor Pierce (Int would be another Added Mod)

I just did 20 Wells on my mage (level 67-68) Only failed 1. That actually puts it on par with before the update. 90-95% success is what my guy gets:


Rare sapphire dagger
Level Req: 30
Damage: 41 to 72

+30 Intelligence
+95 Max Life


Rare nightshade padded robe
Level Req: 35
Defense: 0 to 24

+34 Intelligence
+2 Extra Equipment Slots


Rare ice XIV
Level Req: 55
Spell Damage: 466 to 560
Mana Cost: 109

+126% Enhanced Effect
+11 Mana Regen


Rare heal XIV
Level Req: 55
Heals: 309 to 826
Mana Cost: 109

+150% Enhanced Effect
+1 to 7 Life per Attack

was it alot more close calls or just like normal? And did it take a lot longer to well?

it was about the same as far as close calls go.

it did not take a lot longer to well, longer by 15-30 sec I guess.
