Mage build question

[DeathDefiance]

What items should I get for my Mage.
I know I need a garp+8
but what rings, earrings, necklace, and belt should I get.

Btw I'm an ice mage
stats would also be helpful

[Riley]

It totally depends on what you want to do.

Damage? Support? Damaging support? Ice mages can easily be shield mages, and tank like a bitch, and still slow well. Pick one and I will explain.

[DeathDefiance]

Damage and support, but yeah not full int if that helps

[SSlayer]

i've suggested this:

crystal+8 (+9 hard to find on oly)
garp+8
shio's+1/2
ep+1/2
sse's+0
skelly/gb

[nouna]

hello

for you ice mage you have lot of way

1>attacker
51str( for SS)
160int
rest mp

2>support hp
51str(for SS)
160int
120mp ( for compelt +8)
160int
rest hp

3>shield
91 str ( for ds/gab)
160int
120mp
rest hp

on support mode with shio+1 and garp you still gonna hit 500/550 on ppl that stay decent and you gonna resist good

for your staff i prefer oasis+8 cause he got DD and that really helpfull that + dd helmet+iron set = 42 on DD

after on earing you can lich king pride they are really good or agate+1 ( they are liek same than ssse+0 but less expensiv)

ring > shio tear
belt > iron belt cause for mage 50ac better than 30ac+50hp+10int ( stat of glass belt)

pendant > iron neck or ep+1/+2/+3

[DeathDefiance]

What's a sse and can u tell me the stats

[gimmecookiesnao]

secret silver earring

20 defense
10 health bonus.

expensive as shit though

gogo lick kings pride

[DeathDefiance]

What are wse are they any good

[SSlayer]

wse are white silver earrings

5 int 5 hp
20 def? not 100% on def

[SSlayer]

i reckon we head for complete set rob...i think its simular price to chitin +8 rogue for complete+8....well a bit more but not much so we should try get that

[DeathDefiance]

Yeah prices are really stuffed ATM I'll try and see what I can do

[SSlayer]

ok well hit me up on msn bro, i just finished my 1st exam then so i can help out with exp/pk very soon xD

[SSlayer]

ok gear we ended up with was this

crimson set+8
shio tears+1
ep+1
dual wse (getting lkp as soon as lvl 60)
skelly belt

now we are choosing between garp+8 and oasis+8
can people please leave input towards what staff and why..
also after we got the staff in what order should we upgrade things?
shio's to +2 first or ep or what?

[gimmecookiesnao]

go oasis +8 it gives u hp and dd

garps only job is too hit hard never liked its slowing much


wth oasis u hit hard and slow better .

if anything i would upgrade my rings more dual shios +3 and oasis +7 would
be much better than shios +1 and oasis +8

[Riley]

I prefer WSE over LKP on oly, simply because..there aren't many hard hitting mages, but there are plenty of hard hitting rogues and warriors.
