Mage/Dark Wizard Help Best Mage Build

If anyone could tell me what the best gear for an end game mage would be, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm using an intelligence/agility build, if that helps.

 

There is no best mage build.
Do whatever you want to do.
Spell damage is popular.

 

its not worth it to make a build until level 80-85

 

Well, I'm very close to level 80, so I wanted to know in advance what the best gear for a water/air build would be.

 

welp this is the only build I can remember lol

third eye/restored (?) ancient helmet (purple & blue)
soul signal/idk something else
crystal/vaward/leggings of desolation
meme toes/sodeta/ensa's ideals
royal stormy amulet
squid anklet
jester

lunar spine
uhh maybe ethe?
pure
lament
(not saying you should use all of these - if you cant obtain a mythic use lunar spine and ethe I guess)
level min 92 (to use soul signal)
level min 99 if you want to use vaward
uh
yeah

 

Thanks for the suggestions.

 

I think you should go with a mana regen build. I love the idea of being able to spam spells, and use heal all the time. :)

 

mostly water / air is common
Third eye
Aquarius
Crystal (or vaward but its hella expensive for them both)
memento / capricorn
Requim / lunar spine / ethereal
100 in int rest in agi
jewelry I use
yang
yang
Tidal
calming torc

 

I use moon pearl, marble, squid anklet and wynnexcavation D water necklace. I think yang give to much debuffs when marble is almost as good.

 

remove pure from your list. Both ethereal and lunar out damage it in every way

 

Do lunar have +500% spelldamage?

 

please dont make me have to explain why lunars and ethereals hit for twice as much as pure. If you dont know that by now then you've been living under a rock

 

Do you mean the attack speed thing?

 

Nah they just have more base damage then pure, so they do overall more damage, Lunar and Etheral are also better in other aspects :c

 

literally base mage could solo endgame assassin

 

Kinda. The spell damage change that really killed pure was the raw spell damage change. In simple terms the spell damage formula was like this (base damage + raw spell damage) x attack speed multiplier x spell damage % . But now its like this (base damage x attack speed multiplier x spell damage) + raw spell damage. What does this mean? Well basically pure's base damage is too low to make much use of the insane spell damage %. Also its attack speed is slower than that of ethereal and lunar meaning its attack speed multiplier is less.

The attack speed change means that attack speed items no longer affect spell damage meaning that you couldnt get a higher attack speed multiplier in the spell damage formula.

 

Thanks for explaining thats why everone say that +sd (no %) sucks!

 

I got mine for ya

Helmet : Third Eye ( lvl 88 )
Chestplate : Soul Signal ( lvl 92 )
Leggings : Vaward ( lvl 99 )
Boots : Memento ( lvl 92 )
Rings : Concentration ( lvl 8 ) + Reminder ( lvl 96 )
Bracelet : Watch Bracelet ( lvl 86 )
Necklace : Royal Stormy Amulet ( lvl 75 )
Weapon : Rainbowed Infused Hive Wand ( lvl 100 ) / Neutral Infused Hive Wand ( lvl 100 )

This Build can solo Qira so Idk if it's the best for you

 

There is no "Best Mage Build"
There are good ones, but the most important thing is that your build satisfies you and you are happy with it, if it doesn't make you happy I wouldn't use it. I don't have a build I can give you though.

 

Raw sd is good, it adds more damage per tick. Its not the best for mage (ironically DAMAGE PERRR HOURR (HIT)) since they have no multiple hit spells unlike warrior, assassin, or archer (scream, multi hit, storm) which benifit more from raw spell due to getting the x spell damage being added every tick
