so i guess most mages have fire for offense and earth for defense, available exclusively.

Hmmm. Yes. Vinelash a pull of 12, but it will fade in 30 secs. The first 3 mobs in that train could die in 30 secs on full burn, then I'd take a step back, reroot, kill the next 3. Rinse. But honestly I think this would only work with LBs, and frankly there are much better uses of LB swarming with a...

Is Heart of Vapor/Flames/Ice/Stone on the same timer? Ie. can I use them exclusively or will they all red-out and be unusable at the same time? I'm thinking Flames and Vapor are most useable for their + up to 50%dd, reduce hate up to 50%. But before I spend the 22aa on them both I'd like to be sure ...

you can block the group guardian of the forest AA illusion only from rangers, I hates it. I personally block low level (80 and under) shm focus spells. And I also block the ranger and bst atk+hp line. Strength of the Glade etc. and Spritual Vxxx. These don't stack with Paladin Brells.

Using a Skull of Spire Servant -(Enchanced Minon 1 foci) - buff on my 75 shaman, the wolf pets he summoned are still light blue. I expected them to be bumped up by 2 levels: normally they are level 68 with ~4500hp, I thought if the foci worked the pet would be level 70 and be dark blue to a 75. Do t...

That was spectacularly informative, thanks Fleiss! I plan on taking on boss mobs, and lesson burn with LBs to get my AAs up. But the whole goal of my undertaking is to take on interesting encounters and have to use tactics and timing instead of mashing 2 keys (hence I dropped the use of a wizard). S...

Can anyone clarify what a Circle of Mana item is? Nvr herd of this.

What other classes are a great mix with a magician? Seeing has how a cleric merc + mage fills out the basic group makeup (Tank, Healer, Nuker) probably anything goes great. Does anyone box a Shm with their Mage? A Ranger? Paladin? Chanter/Mage combo seems pretty solid. What experiences have you had ...

Coming back after 5 years away and feel like the mage has been strengthened enough to warrant decent time invested to grow him. I got my mnk, zrk, rng, clr, shm, brd to 75 then I stopped playing. I just got level 71 on the mage and boy, am I impressed. I often 2 box, last night I went to PoTactics w...
