The trick to fast runs as mage, aside from buying+forging strong gears and unlocking T3 spells obviously, is using a script for mages like Crackling Cast, Imperil and a high enough ele prof to not get your spells resisted (IMG:[

style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The usual strategy is to kill enemies fast before they have a chance to fight so the standard round goes like: cast Imperil 2 or 3 times to cover all targets then hover over enemies (for CC you can set which spells to use on hover)
If you want, you can skip casting protection/haste/shadow veil and just buy as many scrolls for those as you want for the double effect compared to casting em.
Just get crackling cast 'w')b We'll teach you how to set up the spells and whatnot when you ask
gianfrix94 hooked me up in the expert thread today. Yay! Spells are working great.
I still have the hiccup where it CC/reloader doesn't activate on REs, but that's happened forever.

As much as i don't like generally the 1h/mage, i do still consider it the best way to go for proficiency training.
But then again, like the mayor in tales of the abyss said: "old men are impatient, cause they don't have that much time left" (IMG:[

I find it kinda strange...
Even with snip in DW i have to heal frequently in any PF-IW run, while with snip from 1h/mage i rarely ever heal.
But then again swapping styles is always tedious.
As for mage...
For someone like me that occasionally has to deal with heavy lagging (i thank the neighbors), mage is a big deal. If it wasn't for that i would probably remain 1h/heavy - nyten/heavy for ever (IMG:[

But maging is tricky!!! You need great equip. Perfect IW results on every piece. Constant use of scrolls. Aether and featherweights on every clear. Great attention on your clears. Big programming on your set, luck and wealth to find them and then you also need to spend a fortune to forge them.
Mage is very rewarding, but it's not simple at all! Playing it is actually a major pain the... there (IMG:[

With my horrendous dark mage
snip
That was born cause i dropped
this piece, i can
not even reach round 500 on a hellfest.
That's because dark/holy mage are tedious styles, that need great attention to your equipment. You can't just drop a set together and play dark mage.
So any PF mage is seriously something that you need a great preparation in order to play.
(But then again it allows me to clear DwD at hell difficulty in 12 minutes. Worth (IMG:[

You know what they say about small insignificant details... Well this is a HUGE and SIGNIFICANT detail that i actually missed!!!
And how on earth did i? I know his condition!
Aieeeeeeee... i'm getting worse by the day... Not cool epion. Not cool (IMG:[

The great thing with melee, there isn't really much of a learning curve.
Very linear... get tanky, get strong... hover.
Mage... wow... this is one heck of a curve.
I can tell with just what you guys are saying here... it's going to take months.

For 50credits, I won't quote this in the Po thread.
I'll take that in small non-sequential credits, wrapped in 140 slaughter bindings.
