Agi good for mage?
#54089 - 04/10/08 10:23 PM

I should have ask this a while ago. When Crackersd was a mage, I was group chatting while doing SC. The leader (warrior) said that agi was good for mage. I asked him how is so, and he just said it helps. Any idea what he's talking about? I told him that it doesn't help but he refuses to believe it. Pure mages are only suppose to have INT and END right?

Mages just need INT and END

my mage is level 100 and her agility is a whipping 1. Doesn't seem to hurt me one bit.

Find me on Amaratha, Necratha, or Psiratha. Give me something interesting to uncover about the game.

Yep, what they said, agi is absolutely useless for mages. Do not trust anyone who says random things, often, they're just wrong.

INT and END= Mages
AGI and END=Ranger
STR,INT(lil),AGI, and END=Fighter

Rangers could also use some INT, I believe.

Depending on the ranger's focus (i.e. poison, crit, hybrid) they definitely use some int, as it drastically boosts poison magic dmg. Aerator builds 2 Int, 2 End, and 1 Agi matter of fact, and so churns out crazy poison and ice dmg while still putting in physical ranged dmg. All my agi bonus is from equip, but most "poison ranger" gear gives +end amd +int, for that exact reason (i.e. the bone splint gear, etc)

As for the fighter spread above by JF, I used to build str, end, and agi, getting maybe a little int from a ring or ammy. HOWEVER, I recently respeced to ALL str, with ALL end+ gear (all purp crystal) and Swiper hits harder, has a much much higher def rating (due to higher str also) and I get all the agility I need from DW Wraths.

I wish I would have built only str before rather than trying to figure out a good spread all the time. I cut back on skill use, so I use less pots in general, and eventhough I have slightly less HP, I get hit less also (from the def bonus and dropping enemies faster). I now understand why there are a lot of "pure str" fighters - it works excellent, and maybe it was designed to do so. So, my advice to new fighters would be to spend points on endurance and strength if they have to choose to spread- and use gear to augment as necessary. But, to each their own of course...

JF you are false on this

a mage once they get bsol and a good amount in it just needs int.

fighter no longer needs agri with passives

ranger well they been ignored for so long that mainly they just need agi with crit gear or speed gear and should mainly focus on agi ... i am glad for you all to finally be able to stack poison and new skills. Maybe those 40849439034 bilespitters that drop will come in handy for low lvls.

JF you given them lvl 100 abby skills which they wont need as no mage or ranger will need end till end game or pvp nor will a fighter need intell.

I assume what you mean is you no longer need to put attribute points in those attributes, and you get them entirely from equipments. A Mage with just 5 END or a Fighter with just 15 AGI might not work all that well, even with all the modifiers you can get. Which is rather moot. Lots of Mages get all their END from equipments, and Fighters their AGI from equipments, and so on.
