Rate my Tank Mage

[aeLLio]

HP - 4089

Iteams are :
Crimsons +8 (except pauldron +7)
Crystal DD +6/25
Glacier Erenion +6

Jewls:
SSE
Mage Earring
ROM
Shios Tears
Kekuri Belt
Lobo pendant

And need advice in what else to improve on weather it is my jewls or armors.
Also please if you can keep it peaceful and not a flame war.

[TreeBark]

ewww sucks i seen mages with 6k hp buffed so you not a tanker much get 1k ac and then your a tanker

[aeLLio]

uhhhh please show me someoen who has those kind of stats please i would love to see them not flaming u but that is interesting. show me please.

[JoshBFD235]

Ikoria has that over 1k ac and 4500 hp I believe, and still hits just as hard as a paper mage.


PS. Lobo pendant sucks balls, go for an Elemental Pendant, or if you have the coins/USD Iron Neck. Glass Belt/Iron Belt in place of the kekuri. Cleric Earring in place of the Mage Earring, or even another SSE.

[aeLLio]

well iam talking about lvl 70 down lol he is just out of the picture of me and his jewls are un believable and i will not get their iam looking for someone who has decent uniques ones that are not +1/2 lol just decent uniques and give me a SS of it i want to compare.

also i know lobo pendnat sucks but i spent all my money on the SSE latly so havnt got any income to buy another pendnat also i know tryin to save up for a glass belt atm

as far as the mage earring i will wear it untill i find another one for it was gifted to me from my clan so i will always wear it in gratitude of getting it gifted to me

[JoshBFD235]

I'm not sure what def I would have if I were an int mage right now, I'll find out in 70%, but atm I'm using an ep+1, dual roms, agate earring, bronze earring,/dual mage earrings, hp12/1str belt. I have 374 ac atm as paper, but when I was int with no uniques, I think I had about 430. But that was a while ago so don't remember for sure. That was with crimson 7 pads, boots, gaunts, complete 7 pauld, 25 dd mage hat.

1) get a shield of some sort...small spear shield...small dagger shield...shit like that...the defense and wep def will make a huge difference in situations u cant tank with staff

2) less talias more regular defense armors...talias=acid potted...regular defense armors=not noticable enough to be acid potted regularly

3) ditch the mage earring...doesnt matter who its from its CRAP...its actually an insult to recieve one...get a cleric earring or warrior earring

4) ditch the pendant...get an EP

5) get a glass belt or iron belt...although i prefered the int on gb...once u get lvl 70 the nova eats mana like crazy a lot more than before 70 cuz ur using 2 novas now

6) im assuming the pads ur wearing are gob.....ditch em get +8/15 crimson...def helps a lot more than resistances for a tank mage...not often u get the mages goin for u(theyll go after the priests)...ull have melee goin for u

u wanted a ss of comparison? http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/7950/20...92185955nj2.jpg
gear is very similar to urs.....i dunno if i was wearing my def gloves/boots or not in that pic

but ill be completely honest with u...the only reason i survived in cz was cuz of my defense armors...without them i was toast...and i mean defense ARMORS not talias...u cant put on more than 1 talia at a time but with armors i could put on spear def, axe def(or sword def), dd, and a talia....and my cs :wub:

Stop quoting ridiculous stats for mages. If he did have 6K buffed and over 1K ac he would not be here asking whether its good and how to improve - he would be showing off his pwnage mage.

As far as I know tank mage refers to build: a mage that has added some int and MP (enough for his armours and staff) and the rest in HP. Whether it is an effective tanker or not is a different story.

Ikoria may have over 1K ac but
a. its a complete mage
b. has much better jewlerly

Rols & EPs +1 don't grow on trees. There are very few (and even fewer legit) mages on the server with the kind of equip needed for the stats you quote. At the end of the day, these stats are not even needed to be effective in cz - look at Cama's mage for proof.

Please stop acting as if anything that does not have TOP stats/TOP uniques/TOP EVERYTHING is crap and should be hidden in a corner out of sight. It is part of the game what kind of equip you get with the budget you have. And believe it or not, ppl still come here to get advise not only to show off.




PS: On the actual topic - Josh & Cama have pretty covered it. Please replace the mage earing and lobo thingy - they are crap and its not too expensive to replace.

[aeLLio]

Thank you silver and everyone else who commented iv learned some new stuff thanks

[suicide_dela]

well yeah everyone pretty much said it..
- get at least an ep
- try to get a better belt although it will be hard cuz they are pretty much the most expensive thing u will be trying to get
- glacier erenion +6 is not for INT mage so try to get an elixer+8
- +8 crimson is good for now, it's better than +7 complete
- mage earring has to go, u can get a better one
- shio tears is ok but u might need something with better defense or hp on it cuz the glacier dmg barely helps
- you look ok to me so far, keep up the good work

Explain please? How would an elixer staff help him tank better? .... Glacier Erenion = hp bonus, resistances and more mana, not to mention more ele dmg than an Elixer +8. He's asking on how to make his mage a better tank. Why would he want to lose hp, mana and resistances...
Looking good so far, but like the rest said, that ME has got to go >.>. Honestly, its no better than the mage quest earing. Which oddly enough, is called a "Mage Earing".
