There you go. Let me see..

To be honest, I really find you a good mage, expecially gear related considering you still level up. Points are good, hp/mana good. Gear good, bonusses and resistances good. Skills good, tho consider taking out Gym freak, as it makes 25% less int. Personally, I like average BMI better. Its just a suggestion tho.

I'd say, keep it going!

i use Gym cuz it give MORE 50% life thats a lot to compare to a -25% life loss from bookworm. BMI gives only 1/5 of the possible life gain and im doin fine with the amount of mana, couch is to me a loss of space cuz theres lots of mages out there with 1-2k(ones with 500hp) at lv 20+ and 10k mana.WHAT DO YOU PREFER, STAY ALIVE OR DIE?? I dont like ppl tanking for me so... And how is possible to run a dungeon solo if the mobs are resistant to ur main bolt(ice for me)??....im thinking of changing the lvl up stats from 3int 2end to 4int 1end for later when bsol is better, as im not goin to change my robe(hate those guys that think mage is only shadow with skulls and everything...).wut would u say about that?

LR correct me if I am wrong but Gym Freak only decreases your mana/int point ... not your Int. This lowers your mana pool but does not decrease the damage for your spells. A major difference there. I usually use gym freak unless I find that I dont have enough mana then I might change. Or if you are going for a BSOL build where the more mana is important. Very much depends on your style of play though.

You can use Bill as an effective shield and aggro draw with just one slot, actually. If you summon him (and can keep him alive) you can trade the summon skill out for something else afterwards. The snowglobe skill will help keep him alive.

Being an ice mage with Bill does make things tricky. You certainly can't (I wouldn't think) rely solely on ice skills with Bill, because you'll be wasting a lot of time and mana unecessarily healing him.

That is true. Ice Mages do not go well with Chill Bill, even though the Devs intended it to... but actually, it doesn't.

Hey can any1 clarify my ideas about resist plz??
How can i determine the resistance of the mobs? I mean, a mage absolutely CANT hit higher lvl mobs because they keep resisting no matter what spell i use. How is that possible, and how can i do damage?There's any magic defense/atack rating out there? plz any1 help me....

That's not just mages. Fighters and rangers do a lot of missing when fighting higher lvl monsters.

I think it's just a built-in way to keep players in dungeons within their lvl range.

They resist you because you don't do enough damage at the level difference to get past there resist. at 5 or more levels of difference it is almost impossible to get past it. But you could try upping you int that would up your damage and may get it past there resist.

I think anyways. I always have trouble with being wrong....

My point was that regardless of what you do, you're not going to be as effective against higher lvl monsters.
