Mage/Dark Wizard Help Water ‌and/or Thunder ‌build, ‌on ‌a ‌budget.

I'm nearing the endgame mark on my Mage, which means it's time to start thinking up some endgame builds. I'm leaning towards a Water/Thunder build (or just Water) that's focused around spell DPS.

Throw your builds at me.

rules and stuff

1. no mythics
unlike 50% of this forum I have less than a stack of LE

in general just don't give me overly expensive builds
I have 51 LE to work with here but I'd rather not use it all up

2. I already have Lunar Spine so keep that in mind
if you want to lower the cost as much as you can just make a lunar spine build
will show IDs if needed
(might be garbage but it's somewhat usable)

3. give full armor/weapons with recommended IDs, plus skill point allocation and powder allocation
should be common sense for any build thread to be honest

4. linking me to existing build threads is highly encouraged
don't waste an hour typing up a whole build when you can just link me a thread which is basically the exact same thing

also the forum search is really specific so that's why I haven't used it yet

now give

 

Its probably less(@SilverMirror probably knows the real numbers)

Well you could go with the generic raw spell build, which is great with mage as mage has the highest spell multiplier (meteor up to 500%) and access to Bonder, like so:

Whitecap Crown (get from hive, so ids are constant)
Soul Signal (raw spell, sp)
Dark Channeler (raw spell, mana)
Gaea-Hewn Boots (get from hive, so ids are constant)

Moon Pool Circlet x2 (mana)
Nebulous (raw spell)
Royal Stormy Amulet (get from merchant in Cinfras, so ids are constant)

Bonder (mana, regen is nice too)

Before armor: 33/45-Dex on Soul Signal/56-Int on Soul Signal/33/rest of your sp
After armor: 33/45/68/33/41 + rest of your sp

or you could go with something different like:

Anima-Infused Helmet (get from hive, so ids are constant)
Aquarius (mana, spell)
Vaward (spell, 7 int)
Paradox (spell, mana)

Concentration x2 (mana)
Nebulous (%spell)
Royal Stormy Amulet (get from hive, so ids are constant)

Bonder (mana, regen is nice too)

Before Armor: 10/33/100 assuming you got 7sp on Vaward/33/10
After Armor: 10+Paradox Str/33/110/33 + Paradox Def/10

 

Anima/morphstardust
Aquarius/boreal
Vaward
Memento/capricorn (personal preference)

2x conc/moon pool circlet
Squid anklet
Calming torc

Requiem

I'd just like to point out that raw spell damage is least effective on mage as all of mages spells are 1 hit only

 

isnt it raw spell x spell multiplier? and meteor has a x4

 

No raw spell is added after spell damage has been calculated

 

no its not

Yes it is, it's been like this for months now

 

why do my spins with raw spell do double the raw spell then normal then?

 

Raw spell is added as neutral damage. Your weapon probably deals some neutral damage as a part of its spins and the raw spell Is just added to that

 

look at this thread https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/how-damage-is-calculated.176082/

 

This is partly true since the spell damage ID is added after the raw spell ID but Larz is right, its (raw*spell)*spell dmg%
