I want to see whats more popular along us fellow mages which do all of you prefer most fire,ice or shadow, personally I choose fire.

lvl 50 mage i perfer fire to all, even though i have +300 shadow gear it still dosent do the damage my normal gear does. my normal gear is +265 to fire dam.

I prefer Shadow. Many people have the misconception that Shadow Bolt does very little damage: in fact, on average it is the most damaging bolt spell. While it has the lowest maximum damage, it has an extremely high minimum damage. Its average damage vastly outstrips Fire Bolt, and it more powerful than Ice Bolt in general.

My only complain with Shadow Bolt is that sometimes, it swerves away from your intended target. The mana cost and range is also a pain... but personally, I prefer to do consistent damage than have my damage jumping wildly all over the place.

very true, Shadow bolt is very consistent with good damage but the drawbacks for me isnt the mana cost on sometimes swerve its the range, im a kiting mage and the range just doesnt help me at all thats why I prefer fire. Also it has the highest crit.

i'll just switch depending on what i'm facing but always has a
ward on me with improved shadow lightning, and ring of flame geaseus blast, and some type of bolt.

But Mages have no way to increase spell crit chances, and usually, unless you are dealing with a dungeon lower than your level, you won't crit much.

Yes I know that but when a fire bolt does get a crit for me its 16k+ so it when it hits it counts =)

As I said, I prefer to be sure than to rely on luck.

well even when im not gettn 16+k crits im still doing 1600-7100 so hey what can I say.

Indeed, as mages got no crit to add, their crit is 3%, the base %.

hey LR i'm curios to know weres your rb database im gunna make a ranger build and im looking for a few rbs not sure of the name if you could post the link thatd be great.

Ehmm.. Weedhead.. why do you post under another name? This is 1. because you lost your password or 2. because you got banned. If you got banned, I need to say that making a new account isnt such a good idea.

Here's a rhetorical question for you: why would I make it on 3/3? (What happened on this day that made me do so?)

If it was rhetorical then you would know in general that the answer is already known by the person(s) you are asking. We do not know, and don't necessarily care, but the question is not rhetorical - thus, why don't you tell us the significance of 3/3/08. Besides the patch (and I have no idea why that would be specific to you being on the forums...again) what grand occurence has happened to bless us with your presence.

Someone's in the top ten on my list of cretins-to-be-culled-when-I-become-Overlord-of-Earth. Three guesses who?

mmmmmm yes....

Cull the weak, eat the dead.... My stomach is grumbling just thinking about it!

Really old people should go too - they'll probably be more use to us as hamburger when there is a food shortage. lol, jk...

somewhat...

Bah! Kill them all and let their various deities sort them out.

Before you do that, better check that they believe in a vengeful deity. If they don't, send them to concentration camps and use persuasive methods *cough*torture*cough* to persuade them to convert to one. Then kill them.

Interesting concept, but I lack the patience for that. I do not care were they go after I have had my fun.

/agreed...

As I am a firm believer in the premise that we are all ongoing products of our respective choices on the good and evil scale...We could cull the weak, eat the dead AND be irrespectful of what their beliefs are and still come out at the same point on the spirittual slide-rule without having to go through all of that "convert or DIE" nonsense. Unless they wanted to convert of their own volition - then it would be moot, lol.

They'll taste the same either way.


Now how the HELL did we get wya out..........................................................................................HERE with this topic!? We're bad guys, lol.

Zees all start back ven I was jes a leetle boy back in Frankfurt. My Tata never allowed me to play weeth zee ozer boys, und I never got to eat zee vunderful strudel my Yaya made each weekend. Eet vas always "Gunther...Eat your pork rinds und you veel grow up beeg und strong like Hercules!"... I am supposing zat I am being obsessed with zee pork because I am thinking I am a bad boy.

Im not a high level mage but Ive always relied on shadow lightning and gear builds that enhance that damage. Its not in the thousands yet but at lvl 15 what can ya expect...however it is exactly 946 max which aint bad and five targets get to wear that delicious charred scent. With a minimum of over 100 I dont see a major prob in the near future....what do you guys/gals think of the pure shadow build? Good support class?

I've been a high int shadow mage since the beginning and ive always done crazy enough damage to clear out a room b4 i took too much damage. So it's always worked 4 me. .. it was a little more challenging at beginning lvls though

I Udgrape only fire mage because i got fire bolts on start .) after me got level 50 ( game udgrape pvp ) i start use ice on pvp on level 70 i got nice Weapons and now using ONLY SHADOW (on pvp too)
sorry for my bad english
