PvE Builds?

[jaide]

Just a question.. Why are there no mage builds stickied in this forum as there are builds and general guides for classes in their respective forums? D:

I was a long time raiding mage in WoW (never fire, though; didn't care for it), and I'm looking for some solid builds for solid DPS in Allods PvE. Right now I'm just leveling, but I might be interested in doing dungeons and stuff at endgame, so I'm trying to find the quintessential guides out there for the class, and I'm just not finding them.

Any help is appreciated!

The mages just changed a great deal so all the stickies got removed.

Right now it's anyones guess, but there are quite a few fundamental builds forming. Just keep looking at the mage forums. So far it seems fire is burst dmg/pvp, while a hybrid lightning/ice build is preferable for PvE. I can't say from experience.

Thank you for the swift reply! I only started playing two days ago, so I didn't realize the class had only just received a big update. XD

I'm pleased to hear lightning/ice might be preferred for PvE, because while I don't have any issue with the fire spells in Allods (I just didn't like fire mages in WoW), the mechanics of ice spells have always appealed to me. I'll just keep playing and checking back.

I find the more I play, the more confused I am. I don't understand why fire/ice wouldn't be an optimal build, since you get bonus damage when you hit an ice-slowed target with fire. I'm not quite sure how lightning/ice works.

But mainly, I need a good PvE leveling build, because I'm so greatly confused by this new entropy system that I feel like I need to completely put my mage on hold until the guides are rewritten, so I don't pass level 15 and lose out on my free respecs when I have no idea what I'm doing. =/

The old entropy system, I had read about and I understood, but this new one doesn't seem practical. I'm constantly building up entropies, but at level 12, I don't see the point in even having the spells that require entropy, when a combination of the three skills I'm given to start with seems to work just fine at low levels. Therefore, I have no idea what a good leveling build will be. I wish they'd just bring back the old entropy system; at least as a new player, I understood what I was getting myself into.

This is my build right now for PvE.

Currently pulling highest single target DPS, and close to the highest AoE DPS in my astral parties and raids with it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Skat - Electric Jolt is amazing AoE Dps

I might try it next respec I have, but the mana cost just turns me off.

Yeah the mana cost, even with the rubies, makes it less attractive but its always doing the most damage (by a large margin) during aoe pulls. It might be worth it later on as we gear up and hopefully get larger mana pools.

I'm only level 12 right now. What sort of rotation should I be looking at at this level? I feel like anything beyond the base skills you start with is a little pointless at such a low level, but I don't want to pass level 15 and not have any more free respecs until I'm more comfortable.

Hi,

I was wondering why only r2 on the Lightning/Ice on 50% generate extra? Is it still a good % to pop more Lightning and Ice? If not 100% is more safe?

And also how is Casade actually does? 15% on previous Electric jolt only?

Will it be abit harder to be top AOE dps with only Ice astoerid (AOE) skill in the basket?
Or what is the rotation skills for you if there are pack of mobs?

Thank you.
