What next for my ice mage's build

[work]

Current build
Complete +8 set
Elix8, GE8
Shiro2, Shiro1, dual ROL
GB
IN
CE+2
WSE+1

I tend to use the GE8 more than Elix8, but I feel like I'm wasting some points in stats cause the GE8 has a low requirement. I'm level 80. I don't want to be pure support mage. So here are my questions

1. Should I try to upgrade my earings? To what?
2. Should I get some crystal armor +9 pieces and restat and add to MP so can have 255mp?
3. What would the next best staff be? Oasis +8?
4. Trade in the GB and get an IB?

Thanks for your input.

I tend to use the GE8 more than Elix8, but I feel like I&#39;m wasting some points in stats cause the GE8 has a low requirement. I&#39;m level 80. I don&#39;t want to be pure support mage. So here are my questionsif u dont want to be support i say go fire or light...ice IS a support build unless ur in a newer server with this gear..if u do go fire trade the shios for flame rings obviously go crystal+9 schorching+8/hellblood<--my favorite and im not sure about statting ill get back to u if ur interested

1. Should I try to upgrade my earings? To what? earrings r good for most servers but if its ares/diez w.e maybe a BE+3 buy it now and if u dont like it hope for rollback
2. Should I get some crystal armor +9 pieces and restat and add to MP so can have 255mp?[i]not as ice if u wanted to go fire then yea thats a pwn build but as ice nah support is best[/i]
3. What would the next best staff be? Oasis +8? definitly i <3 oasis especially w/o fp dd or other rare dd helm if u dont like that go for garp+8 if u want to do some nice dmg m
4. Trade in the GB and get an IB?depends on the server if its ares and every rogue has crit then prolly but if its more manes-gira then na the mana bonus is good

Thanks for your input.[/b]

Well from what I can see, your looking on becoming like I wa
s, an ice mage that can do damage. Basically I was lvl 77 ice mage, doing like 650-750 with ice staff and the spells were pretty hard hitting also.

so here

1. Should I try to upgrade my earings? To what?

Best comination for earrings for a mage is Dual LKP/SSE + LKP/Dual LKP, respectively. So even though you might think that CE is similiar to LKP, its not. So if you can sell those 2 earrings that you have and with a little extra cash get dual LKP +1, then that is your best option.

2. Should I get some crystal armor +9 pieces and restat and add to MP so can have 255mp?

Restating for an extra 8 mp and taking off so much AC, never. So best is stay complete set +8 with 160 int and 247, so therefore you will have amazing AC and you will also do amzing damage with ice staff/spells.

3. What would the next best staff be? Oasis +8?

If you are the kind of person that likes to do 1on1s and likes to hit more with ice staff then spells, then definetly go for Garp +8. I find it much more effective hitting up people with ice staff while doing 650-750 damage with my garp then using far-away spells to try and ks something. A word of advice, since you have GE+8, keep that, sell your elixir +8 and get the Garp +8. So therefore when you are mostly using ice staff you should be using ur garp +8, and when you are playing "support" in your party, meaning helping out members by icing with AOEs, then switch to GE +8, since GE +8 has greater effect on spells then the Garp +8, while the Garp +8 hits more with ice staff then GE +8.

4. Trade in the GB and get an IB?
No, I suggest you stay with GB.

p.s. if ur canadian holla me up, i&#39;ll make ur mage famous :P

oh edit: you dont need the ROLs, since the Shios are a BIG ++++ to your ice effect while using GE +8

Agreed to pretty much all of that ^^ Shios = Attack / Rols = Support, oh and I&#39;d still get the Ironbelt over glass belt unless you could get a +1 GB or something

being 80 ur not going to exp again im guessing o,O so why go 255 mp? when anything after 220 mp isnt counted in pk.. just liek the + from armours/jewels doesnt help in pk.. so thats 35 points u could have go into hp o,O
