I’m a 46 mage, Lightning/Fire. You won’t major in lightning nor fire. Both elements will be equally as good. You won’t have to respec your skills later because this build does not have any wasted points early on (yet at the same time you’ll be strong enough to level fast and even PvP).

Here’s what I would do. I pretty much did this exactly, although instead of putting points in fire early I waited until 36 which was useless because I had over 2 dozen points to spend which could have been spent earlier with no downside.

Since I’m not going to write up a guide for every single level just level up the skills that are going to get level’d up whenever you can. If you see a spell at level 3, then 15 levels later you see it at level 5 obviously level it up to 4 as soon as possible.

Level 1 to 16:

Stats: Enough str for your wand and the rest goes into spirit.

=Passive=
Mana Force -> Level 1

=Fire=
Mastery -> Level 3
Bolt -> Level 1
Ball -> Level 1

=Lightning=
Mastery -> Level 3
Bolt -> Level 1
Chain -> Level 1

Level 17 to 27

Stats: Same as before, you still don’t need any health at this point. If your connection is laggy or you have poor coordination then putting about 35 health is ok. Get your health up sometime before level 22 so you’re ready for the next map.

=Fire=
Mastery -> Level 5
Blaze -> Level 1

=Lightning=
Mastery -> Level 5
Chase -> Level 1

Level 28 to 36

=Passive=
Mana Force -> Level 2

=Fire=
Mastery -> Level 7
Fury -> Level 1

=Lightning=
Mastery -> Level 7
Circle -> Level 1

Level 37 to 51

Stats: Same as above, and get your health to about 65-85. I started raising my health as soon as I hit 34.

At this point continue raising your passive mastery and both element masteries + your level 36 spells every chance you get. At 51 you’ll have all your masteries maxed out, both L36 spells at L5, and both L51 spells.

Level 51+

From 51 and up continue leveling your L36 AoEs. At certain level gaps you’ll be short a point or 2 to level up the 51 spells but this isn’t a problem because the L51 spells aren’t AoEs. Your 51s will end up being 2-3 levels under your AoEs until you gather more points.

By the time you’re ready for your next set of AoEs at L81 you’ll have your L36s maxed, 51s will be at the highest level they can be at, mana force will be at L4, and you’ll have both 81s. You will have enough points to always level up your 81s when they can be leveled.

When you reach 150 you’ll have everthing in lightning/fire at max level (minus the skills before L36), and still have a ton of extra skill points. Enough to max out 2 other skills of your choice + Seize Nimbus. As for what you do with them, that’s up to you.

How does this build perform? Simply put, you’re basically playing in god mode. Everything gets demolished when you learn how to use your skills.

My stats at level 46 are:

Str 10, Dex 3, Health 75, Spr 152
471 defense, 947 m-attack (my wand is a piece of garbage… waiting until 48 for the next one)
About 2500 life, and 1900 mana

I’m not sure what’s going to happen at level 55ish (when you goto a harder map) since this is my first time playing the game. I guess it’ll be similar to now except the mobs will hit harder. I plan to save my stat points from 48 until I stop farming the instance dungeon and see what happens. If the mobs are easy I’ll pump spr, if they hit really hard I’ll dump them into health.

PvP so far as been fun. I spent a bit of time dueling people outside of the instance. They were usually within 3 levels of my level at the time (either above or below). So far the only class who was able to break my PvP shield was a bagi who was 4 levels higher than me. He got me to just under 50% life when he died.

Some knights, hunters, and other mages didn’t even break the shield. This one mage only broke 2,000 out of my 7,385 shield before he died. He accused me of lying about my level heh. I’m going to assume he had low health, but he also had 3 elements and his shots didn’t hurt much.

I haven’t fought any summoners yet. I did at level 20 something and got totally wrecked. I think I hit him like twice before he killed me. PvPing before 36 is a bad idea for mages. Plus at this point our life was very low because we want to level fast, and spr helps in the low levels.
