Why do you have tempestous of niflheim staff and surtr cap (charged of protection doesn't sound good either)? I think you should focus on a single element.

Cap is from shrine drop, staff is just the best I could get from market. But why focusing on one element when I'm using all four? This post has been edited by cichy133: Nov 4 2015, 15:47

Because elemental mage is about optimizing for only one element (so probably 3 or 4 phases with the same "of xxx" suffix, related staff and spike shield that decreases the corresponding mitigation.

QUOTE(nobody_xxx @ Nov 4 2015, 14:46)  what element you use (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) wind , cold or fire (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) All four, one after another, so I can utilize previous spell mitigation drop. Did I play this game wrong for 275 levels? I though it's natural to use one elemental spell after another because they have 4 turns cd and usually debuffs mitigations.

T1 spells should have 0 cooldown. T2 spells at your level should have CD=3 T3 spells at your level should have CD=5 The idea is to rotate between T1, T2 and T3, not between elements.

Ok I can understand using one element, but what about cooldown of said element? Or are you saying I'm supposed to use all 3 tiers of one elemental spell? Because I discarded first tier spells completely. QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Nov 4 2015, 15:05)  T1 spells should have 0 cooldown.

Ok, I understand now. Better now than on lvl 500 I guess. Any tips about best element to use? Btw should I care about elemental proficiency items then? Or is prof really not worth caring about? This post has been edited by cichy133: Nov 4 2015, 16:10

QUOTE(cichy133 @ Nov 4 2015, 12:04)  What are good defensive stats for mages around 300 lvl to clear 110+ lvl arenas on iwbth/pfudor? Because with stats like that [ i.imgur.com] http://i.imgur.com/Fd3UtGo.jpg I only got 3 very first arenas on pfudor and lvl 70 arena on nintendo. Rest is done easily on hell, but nintendo rapes me hard. I'm using weaken and imperil on every monster, yet still they kill me easily when stacked for 8-10 every round. What am I doing wrong? For higher difficulty, you need level 310 first at least so you can Imperil 3 at once. You also shouldn't use Weaken - its action time (and the damage taken during) isn't worth the amount of damage saved, for mage. Better to just attack and kill the monsters. (Oh, and also just use one element (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif))

I also use fire. Which suffix it has? You mostly need only some additional amount of prof. Because you dont have imperil than you can use 2-3 cotton of elementalist for that and rest is phase. If that staff have elementalist suffix, than use only 1-2 cotton. You need some balance between prof and edb which gives phase of surtr and perfect is 1+4 with prof forge and imperil, but its expensive and only possibly after 310lvl. After that even the weakest T1 fire spell gonna hit 30k+. This post has been edited by nec1986: Nov 4 2015, 16:47

It's focus, but it's for 433 lvl, so I'll get something else from market for now. Should I look for elementalist or destruction staff? I have no idea how scaling in this game works so I struggle choosing between element prof/element damage/magic damage bonus. Not sure which one is the best.

Destruction is best if you're going to forge significantly, but you probably aren't going to, at least not until you get another staff that starts in the 400+ level range. Finding any good staff with matching type/prefix/suffix is probably the best idea - at your level, there's very little to choose from, so you might just use whatever you can find that doesn't have any significant downsides.
