[Mage build] less skills with higher levels vs more skills with lower levels

Class and Rank
#1

Hi everybody! Thanks for showing interest!

As someone with little experience Id like to ask for some help with my first mage build

I’ll be compeletely honest: I just picked what sounded good to me.

As a result of that, I seem to get something like a “jack-of-trades” mage who specializes in nothing which brings me to my question.

How viable of an approach is that? Do you “have” to dedicate yourself to at least one circle (pick it multiple times to get skill levels 6+)? Will I get steamrolled by monsters and dedicated mages alike if I dont?

There is nothing wrong with many skills as you have more to use when others are in it’s cd but foregoing rank 2 skills means you lose on some of the more important attributes.

I suggest go with Cryo 2 as it opens up Elementalist attribute that lets hail freeze. Ditch the chronomancer as it does nothing for you as a mage, unless you want to support?

Hail has an atribute like that? I cant see anything like that in the skill simulator.

Wasnt planning on doing a lot of support but I figured Quicken and Slow would help me cast some more attacks (and make up for the Elementalists slow cast animations for example)

You have ice wall to zone enemies while you use your Elementalist skills anyway. And yeah Elementalist has those attributes for Cryo 2 (hail freezing) or pyro 2 (explodes enemies if finished off with a fire spell)

I see. I’ll consider that! Thanks!
