Mage/Dark Wizard Help Best Build?

Back after 2 or more years, my requiem is no longer a requiem and idk why I need defence points to use it. Can't use BPPA, best build for mages right now?

 

Try be builds section of the forums. They can probably help you more than us.

 

Yeah Requiem got reworked and i'm sad about it too... :(
Soooo that said welcome back!
I'm gonna assume you left around the time corkus came out so basically for mage whats new is meteor does more damage and heal now heals less at the start and more 2nd and 3rd pulse. Endgame hive armors have been changed and there are now alot of new ones that you can build around and they have the intention of locking you into a tri-elemental setup.
As for wands the strongest wands in the game are mythics and basically every mythic wand in the game is really good if you can afford them...and yes pure is actually really good and endgame viable now. As for legendary wands the strongest option in my opinion Morrowind, Nepta floodbringer, and Judas in that order. Morrow can hit 14.5-17k meteors and not be a glass cannon, can be built with sustainability and has alot of agility to keep you from getting killed. Nepta hits even harder (like 16-18.5k meteors) and has mana sustain with it but it has alot of -hp which can make building it difficult and also leads to you being somewhat glassy. Judas hits even harder than nepta and is easily the hardest hitting non mythic wand (and infact out damages some mythics) but has -life steal and much lower hp heals which makes you more glassy. All three of these are great options and so heres a build for each of those. (note these aren't the best builds and I know I could make better but rather just examples of what these can do.)

For non mythics these in my opinion are the best. If you can afford a mythic I suppose I can make more builds pertaining to that. As for other wands if none of these interest you here are a few other powerful options. The Nothing, Event Horizon, Manablast, Cascade, Storm Surge, Peaceful Rest, Lunar Spine. These are all wands that in my testing are quite strong and should be more than viable endgame choices. With mage's higher meteor damage you also get more flexablity to using lower damage tank builds if that's more what your suited for....and no I won't even begin on crafted wands yet ;)

If you got any other questions id suggest heading over to class builds or hit me up on discords @Epicness937@0730
