lvl 100-110 training spot...build-shield\orb\staff?

[Guy 0]

hi, my freind got a mage, his lvl 100 and he wants to know where is the best place to lvl up (solo and party) and Hunt...

 

also, we want to know what u guys thinks is the best to use, shield\orb\staff?

 

thanks.

Best for mages 100 is MD 1/2 and SOD with good party.

 

Personally i preffer shield with a good mix with 100-110 str u can put a Chaos/phoenix/cristal shield, arent a great loss of str, and have better defense/abs/block/hp (hp if mix). Orbe is better only if high lv and very good aged, even with this the block rate will be less than shields.

anyone else? i want to hear more ideas

and Akira, thanks for reply =]

and somehow my mage cant relly tank md1 or high rounds sod... =\

High aged orbs are way better than a shield, and shield also looks ugly on mages (and prs). Maybe use shield until like 110 or 115 and then switch to an aged orb, plus orbs are cheaper. Also shields don't have spec for mages so you're also missing out on that, and then you also lose all those points you added into str. You could add those needed points into hp if you really have trouble tanking imo, then you get more def/abs from a cheap orb, more hp if needed from hp stats and you don't look stupid.

orbs are for leveling, shields are for blocking high 1vs1 dmg hits.

i heard some mages use low lvl boots\gaunt\brac because of agi...

is it a good idea? what is the max lvl set u suggest? how much health is the max to get?

i heard that best for mage is to get like 1800~ mp and all the rest points to health...

[Edgardo 0]

hello,

 

IMO, only if you you are only leveling you build should comprise 1800 mp and the rest on health.

 

I do not spend points on agility, since having good equipment will only help to have good abs and def, and i think it's not the smart option for mages.

[Guy 0]

so how much is the max agi u would go with?

i want to solo sod... lol

[Edgardo 0]

hi

 

I can't remember because i'm not at home and can't check the game. but if i'm not wrong i'm using either a brac we cant find on phillai shop (17 agi), or a a elven brac (2x agi). The adventage of using a elven brac is that it has 24 potions, and the mage spec costs less agility.

 

You will use brac just to carry potions, so we need to choose wisely. ASAP i post here what brac i use. Also i may try SOD and will let you know.

 

 

BTW, i use just orb and wand, with some health but much intelligence.

thanks alot

btw, whats ur lvl? how well can u tank?

[Edgardo 0]

Well.

 

ATM i'm @ level 89. Actually i don't tank very well!  The thing i do is to constantly kill all the mobs. The fewer mobs are in the place, the less damage you take.

 

of course i have problem when i just arrive the spawn, but as soon as i clean it, keeping rhythm makes things easier. That's why i need lots of spirit, to kill more mobs using less skills.

hi. here is point of my opinion...

in your case(around lvl 100 and sod solo).

 

when your abs is 90, keep your hp 700 over.

when your abs is 95, keep your hp 600 over.

when your abs is 100, keep your hp 500 over.

when your abs is 110, health base.

 

str for shield(100~110).

talent for equip.

agi for boots(around 70).

 

i did above at lvl 95~110, and sod solo well.

you should adjust between ABS and HP, i think.

but i recommend you that you should test various build by yourself

i agree with it.

 

 

high abs/def with mid hp build (str/agi to high lv boots/gaunts) is better than high hp with low def/abs (str/agi to low lv set like holy gaunts/elf boots) high abs is good for high mobbed areas with medium mobs (like I2/MD1/2), and hig hp is good for low mobbed areas with very strong mobs (like LI)

umm, ok, thanks

if someone else have more ideas, im open to hear
