Mage questions
#39573 - 11/25/07 08:43 PM

Hi I have a lvl26 mage, which I have been playing as a battle mage. Ive been focusing on high defense armor, and a broad spectrum of spells. Seems to be working okay, but still cant do SC alone on insane- algor kicks my butt.

Hooked up with a player that said I should be a shadow mage, pick all dreary and dreaded armor, etc. Anyone have an opinion on which is a better way to go?

Also, if I go for battle mage, what should I focus on for my stats? Ive been trying to keep them balanced. If I respec for shadow mage, what should they be?

Thanks!

My opinion is "better" is what works for you. If Algor is kicking your butt, then I guess your current build isn't working.

I can't really comment on "build types" as I've been playing my mage by ear, mostly. You can see my stats, gear focus and tray skills in my posts here:

"Better"? Dunno, but it's what works for me.

Every type of mage is good is just how you tweak it, for shadow mage I would see get the dreaded suit as you have done and obtain these rainbows called dark ring around the collar(2) sissarats borther cousins roommates staff of something real awsome(1) and an unholy hand grenade of anitgosh(1) and you will be kicking some [censored].

Wouldn't it be neat to have a web page where you could type in any Dungeon Runners player name and see their current build -- equipment, attributes and skills?!

Well, it turns out that we're getting this together. We've got a working prototype of this and are working to get this kind of support out to you guys early next year.

Man, that sure would help sharing builds and strategies...

Only if you had the option to opt out of the program...... not everyone may feel the need to share what they have or are doing

Please don't say that, Stephen would probably have to fire me (the guy programming said character pages) in order to hire another designer to create more content.

It's just a fact that not all of us work on every build, and sometimes we think we're working on a build but it turns out we have to delay until the next one. Stephen makes the call whether a build gets delayed to fit in something, or the something just gets delayed until the next build. But in any event, there's not content that's ready just hiding away until the next build; we try every build to push out everything that's ready.

In any event, I hope you like the secure trade that my co-workers have put together, the improvements they have made to chat (including blocking item links in world chat and adding a channel for them), the Mythic vendors we've hidden in the dungeons, and enjoy the skill tweaks we've introduced. I've been working on more quality of life stuff (Friends list, anyone?) that I was hoping to make it into this build, but will actually show up next build instead - along with a lot of great content to explore.

More is always coming, so don't get down on what couldn't make it into this build- look forward to all the great stuff still in store!

Bless You. Bless you ALL! Maybe now my first move when logging in won't be typing /ignoreworld. Any chance of a bit of code to slap people who spam gunfire in town? Think of the headphone users.
