Int/agi?????

[sk8erfreak1717]

Hey I was thinking wouldnt raising AGI help mages out as well? Doing a full INT and then AGI every 5 levels or so to bring up your crit and attack speed?

[nativepride311]

AGi does not help Skill Speed. Yo need MEN to use skills faster.AGI only works for Melee Atack. I am a 5x App. an i have a 4-1 Int /Men build.i cast a lot faster then pure INT but if you want INT/AGI then its you buil so Go for it.Just rembere you can not reset you stats so if it does not work your stuck with it

[sk8erfreak1717]

i was also thinking about the crit. AGI raises the skill crit.

[Fireslinger]

AGI raises attack crit, meaning physical attack... although this idea crossed my mind back in CB, I quickly realized that us mages do not need AGI, but instead MEN (MEN deals with Skill Criticals), and since mages are a skill based class, that is where our skill pts should go should we want to increase crits and such...

[sk8erfreak1717]

It says in the game that AGI raises attack crit, skill crit, attack speed and dodge?

is that false?

[thoth22]

AGI raises attack crit, meaning physical attack...

actually agi increase skill critical and Critical; however agi increase skill critical more.

my agi 47+3 (neo)

Critical 2
Skill Critical 10

nevertheess you should increase men rather than agi

[sk8erfreak1717]

this is so confusing!!!! lol
add me IGN=Rectifyer I NEED HELP!!! LOL

why wouldnt AGI help a mage though?

[Trashknight]

Because we don't need the dodge. MEN gives similar result fitted for us Apprentices.

[sk8erfreak1717]

but what about the skill crit?

[Trashknight]

That's what we use MEN for. It increases Hit Rate, Critical and Skill Critical.

[sk8erfreak1717]

ok so what would be a good mage build since i had my idea of that?

[Trashknight]

You have three current builds; each with their own advantage.(POW is included in each one for better staffs)

- Pure INT.

- INT/MEN.

- INT/WIS.

[sk8erfreak1717]

can you describe them. i have searched and havent found clear advantages and disadvantages yet lol

[Trashknight]

Pure INT:Powerhouse. Average casting-speed and manapool. Lesser chance to crit.

INT/MEN: Quicker spellcasting and better chance of critting. Below power and average manapool.

INT/WIS: Bigger manapool. Lesser power, casting speed and crits.(Fits best with Magic Shield on a first glance.)

[sk8erfreak1717]

ok that was very detailed. that helps.

what about pvp?

[Trashknight]

It's hard here for me, as I haven't been on that since December. Pure INT and INT/MEN works clearly there for their advantages in speed or power.

INT/WIS in pvp is something someone here on the boards have to tell me how they fare in pvp.

[sk8erfreak1717]

I think i am gonna go full INT just for pure power. Then maybe in the later lvls add other stuff. what is your build?

[Trashknight]

Mine's INT/MEN. I don't recommend putting anything in MEN until you reach 40 to maintain a good amount of damage.

[sk8erfreak1717]

Yeah that is what i am planning on doing =p
So i can lvl fast early on then get more speed. And i will only put into ment when i get the bonus points

[JackOfTrades]

Just recentley started an Apprentace, and from what I've done with MEN with my scout...

Int/Men would probably be the best way to go. (Although I do agree not to put Mentality in until past the 40's.)

i have a neo and have high agl i have 2 attack critical and 9 skil critical (maybe 7)

[Trashknight]

Curious what a Neo has to do with an Apprentice-build apart from the crits... ^_^'

[kioji_Y]

i have 15 men and i kind of regret putting so much. I recommend going pure int.

[Lorelei-]

You put that much in the beginning i assume?

Yes, doing so will make you underpowered. Restart your apprentice and try putting MEN around lvl 50.

[burning228]

is there any apprentice who changed to mage yet?

i would like to reconfirm...
do you get to reset your stats when you change to mage?
