Undead Mage
Alright, its time for your mage to take a break from making portals for everyone and focus on leveling.
I’m sure you’ve made all kinds of gold for about ten minutes of work, but I want to help you reach the higher levels so you can do more with your Mage. This means it’s time to put down the Arcane and start building your Fire Talents.
The Avid Pyroblast User
I gotta admit, every time I’ve thrown on the Mage cloths, I’m addicted to using the Pyroblast. It all starts around level 20, but when you train this ability throughout the game you’ll be able to deal up to 1510 fire damage and an additional 452 duration bonus damage. Since you can train this every six levels (plus 73 and 77) it will definitely be used until you reach level 80 and beyond.
An Interesting Build
In order to get the most out of your Mage, it will be crucial to pay careful attention to the Fire tree. I don’t want you to waste all 71 points here, since I’m sure there are a few Arcane and Frost spells you enjoy. While this might vary between players, if you start out using 51 points here, you’ll have twenty left over for the other two talent trees. Take a look at the abilities you can skip (except Burnout) in the Fire area.
Skip:
Incineration (0/3)
Burning Determination (0/2)
Impact (0/3)
Molten Shields (0/2)
Improved Scorch (0/3)
Playing with Fire (0/3)
Blazing Speed (0/2)
But make sure you take:
Burnout (3/5)
20 Points of Power
Okay, so you’ve got all these talent points left over. You can go about this your own way, but I’m going to throw out a few suggestions to you just in case you aren’t sure where to place them. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you don’t leave any of them sitting in your pool area. Here’s a quick look at how you can boost your Arcane and Frost abilities. Keep an eye on the specific point calculations.
Arcane
Arcane Subtlety (2/2)
Arcane Stability (4/5)
Arcane Fortitude (2/3)
Arcane Concentration (1/5)
Frost
Improved Frostbolt (2/5)
Ice Floes (3/3)
Ice Shards (3/3)
Frost Warding (2/2)
Icy Veins (1/1)
The Most Entertaining Mage Spell
After you spend most of your talent points in the Fire Tree, you will find the Living Bomb ability at the bottom. If you want to watch a great spell in action, then you need to set this off a few times. My favorite place to use it is Stratholme since there is a ridiculous amount of mobs there. First, you will be target an enemy and turn them into a bomb. It will deliver 612-1380 damage over 12 seconds.
When the time has elapsed your target will explode and add another 336-759 bonus damage (depending on your rank) to all enemies around the bomb. While this is a fantastic tool for any Mage, it’s just as much fun watching all your enemies fly up into the air. Unfortunately you can only place it on one target at a time, but I know you’ll enjoy it. Now go have some fun with your Mage!
