ardream fire mage

[Mints]

alright, i've never played a mage before, but my buddy came up to me and said he wants to play a fire mage in ardream. so my question to u guys is whats the best way to get the most damage possible? i honestly don't even know where to put stat and skill points, what type of staff to use or what build to go with. im not too worried about price here, old uniques prolly, but maybe a glass belt, i got about 50 gbs for him to spend. so please, if someone could give me an indepth break down of what i need to get a high damage/survivable mage in dcz. thank you much

Making high DMG won't help ya if you'll die in 2-3 hits...

So first of all go int.

Now for items, 50 gbs arent enough for Mage, especially for fire Mage...
What you gotta get is scorching staff +7 and flame rings +1 ( should be about 20-22 gbs I think )
And with the rest you can get glass belt and DD helmet +6/+7 which is like 5 GB for +6 and with the rest get armor and old CE and old EP... And if you can, get valk and wings with hp coz with parasite you'll be 1 hit

what do i do w/ the rest of my stat points? int mp or hp?

[MyDestiny]

Well on my Mage I did 160 int and rest on mp... If you can get all the stuff I said then do the same

160 int rest mp, 1 str for scrop sheild.

the items suggest above too, that should be alright i spose.
