new player question

just started playing 2 days ago, im mage 42 rn on my first walkthrough, I shouldn't worry about gear and builds rn right? just use anything I found and is good? edit: oh yeah and at what level I should start actually looking for specific gear? thanks

also how is endgame builds like? and the playstyle? is it just spamming meteors? is there any other playstyle at endgame?

 

follow this guide: https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/meta-gear-for-leveling.275840/
and yes theres other playstyle for mage other than spell. this thread listed some endgame builds: https://forums.wynncraft.com/thread...on-all-classes-mostly-raids-li-viable.297004/

 

There are more, like in endgame can spam meteor but there’s also melee such as super fast attack melee and super slow attack speed melee, poison, and more (also only healing if you are doing raids).

And I would say just get a build whenever you start to struggle, was around 60-80 for me, although morph is always a good option as shown with the link above, and it can be used til lvl 100 and even endgame with morph the nothing

 

hi enclaire

Yea the two posts above me explain it pretty well, you don't really need to focus on builds right now, maybe at around level 60(?) you can try a more focused build.

There's a bunch of different playstyles that you can use quite efficiently, even if its not considered "meta" such as heavymelee(slow heavy hitting melee), tierstack(super fast melee), poison, spell spam(spamming spells relying on mana regen), spell steal(spamming spells but regaining mana with mana steal), hybrid(spell+melee) and hundreds of "viable" builds.

Obviously certain playstyles tend to work better for certain classes due to their spells and such(ex spellsteal better than spellspam on assassin since you dont regen mana in vanish, melee builds(both tierstack and heavymelee) work better on assassin due to vanish giving you an 80% damage boost!).

Since you are mage ill give you a couple examples of non-trash playstyles at level 101+(there are probably more!):
1>spellspam(spamming both meteor and icesnake as much as you can)
2>spellsteal(can be used instead of spellspam, needs more skill)
3>tierstack(compiler, singularity and gaia are pretty decent and can hit 20-30k dps)
4>hybrid(using both melee and meteor, can get very strong with certain builds)

found this thread that explains build types better than i can, credit to @Androphonia:

icic, okay thank you so much

oh yeah one more thing, the "lcm" from mage class (you know what I mean) is counted as melee/main attack right? therefore benefits from melee/main attack multiplier and stuff

 

Assuming lcm means left click mouse, yes. (Same with archer's "rcm")

 

they mean left click mage

and yes, mage beam is considered melee

 

this is a very hsb word...
yea every classses are left click melee right click to start the spell combination, while archer is the exact opposite which is right click melee left click to start the spell combination

 

They are a hsb player...
And i don't think that's what they mean( they are asking if mage beam is affect by main attack neutral/main attack %)
