Rate my Mage and Paladin

[Oriso]

Ready for some more of my ****** skillsets? If you aren't, then oh well, here they are:

Mage 25 halfling:
25 fire
25 water
5 lore
5 meditation (+10 from guild)
7 spirit
20 evocation (probably should be different to be more effective x.x)
10 merchant
3 spirit traveling

This mage is obviously a fireball + blizzard one. 7 spirit for mana shield, 20 evocation to have extremely low mana costs. 10 merchant to make money for the training costs, and other merchant stuff 3 spirit traveling cause im almost definately going to die.

Paladin 25 halfling
25 swords(+10 from guild)
8 strength ( +5 from guild +2 from girdle + 5 from potion)
20 find weakness
15 life ( +5 from guild)
5 lore
14 incantation
4 merchant
9 meditation

I believe this paladin would work pretty well, spam healing with major heal. Plenty of life to support that, and 9 meditation seemed like enough to me, but im not sure about it. It really is amazing how little strength is needed to max it for a paladin.

Give suggestions, and rate them x/50, please. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" /><!-- s -->

Wow, that sounds so much better. XD
Do you mind specifying which items give what skills, cause I'm not sure if I'd be able to get all of them, and I want to know for other builds. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

For my mage, I really agree with kathy, because I wanted a solid mage, no meleeing.

[Oriso]

KoD, having that much life was sorta the point. Though I agree it may be overboard, it would be fun to have a major heal that heals all or almost all my hp. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
Keeping the life, maybe something like this?
25 swords
20 find weakness
10 strength ( potion and guild)
14 incantation
5 lore
2 merchant
14 meditation
10 life (+5 from guild)

Personally, The fastest way to kill things as a mage is with a storm Giant mage. Halflings are pretty good though.



But Fire/Water is soo over used. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

do air/life.... <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->


Ill jsut leave it at that... <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

Also, it depends on what spells you use.


You can actually cast 13 spells at once kathy. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

6 Blizzards + 6 Fireballs + 1(fiespray/dragonbreath/icestorm/firebolt/lightningbolt/thunderstorm/frostwave.)


you get the idea. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="Very Happy" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

Well, lordz, since you seem to be opposed to our builds, mind giving us a &quot;good&quot; one in your eyes? I would be very interested in what improvements you can suggest.

[Narhalles]

I propose a stipulation.


A good build will have the following qualities.

1: Have some way to kill enemies
2: Have some way to heal
3: Be fun for the user to play



Sooo.... everyone will have a different &quot;good&quot; build. Why? because everyone has a different style.


I personally prefer massive life magc so I can heal efficiently. So instead of having massive hits, I have massive heals. I rarely die because of this. At the same time, it takes me a while to kill anything. (Narhalles actually has no inate healing abilities.... but he is the only one of all my alts like that.)

[Narhalles]

exactly.... but anyone of those can be cast at the same time as the balls. (as long as it is the last one.) hence the parenthesis and slash marks.

[Narhalles]

I usually do that on a giant char....


3 minor heals to heal my level 12 storm giant. <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="Razz" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->

It's actually not my first mage, but it is my first halfling mage, and my old, pixie mage wasn't that great, at level 16. I probably wont even make this mage until I make some other chars, because I still can't figure out Ruins of Samhoc T_T. Actually, I think ima make them in this order: ranger, monk, paladin, caveman, mage. By the time I get to mage, I should have a fair understanding of the game. <!-- s:twisted: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_twisted.gif" alt="Twisted Evil" title="Twisted Evil" /><!-- s:twisted: --> It's sorta funny though, 3 of those chars will be halflings... Maybe I should make one of them a different race...
