Recommend a template

[Muttman]

I created a char spec in Life and War magics, but he is a bit cack, and I have decided to restart him, tho might go for UA/Life, any recommendations on template (dont mind extreme, give it a go I guess)?

Also whats really needed for a mage, skill wise?

Mutt a lot of people are going for the spec war/life route, very harsh template.

OG (spec critter/life) is good but no war until 26, excellent at high levels but a lot of wall licking to get war

Always go 100/100 focus and self, start with a low quickness and divide the rest between Strength and Endurance. I went for high strength (60 I think) to start and don't regret it. I can carry 4 packs of comps, one of peas, mana stones and still wear armor and drag back loot.


If I rerolled I'd go for

Spec: Life

Train: War, Creature, Mana C

Item @9 Arcane/healing/MD as you like. Personally I'd go Arcane then Healing as Attrib Buffs last half as long as others and coonstantly buffing will.focus/endurance etc. is a pain.

If you want to go the mana stone route you could always spec arcane and pick up mana C later.


Hope this helps

Or u could become a melee:E
<runs from xepha as he cast's fireball XIIII>
'Haha missed me:P'
<runs into tree, knocks himself>

Pah me got melee too:

level 39 sword mule

lvl 36 UA Xtreme spec item casting V's at 25 :E

Besides celchu I'd use a ring spell on ya not a fireball :P

If you want the ultimate in extreme then I'd go
Spec Life/War
100/10/10/10/100/100
The strength would mean you could carry great armour and you need it for all those comps. Spec life and war speak for themselves especially with the new lvl 7 war.

i heard the lvl 7 war spells werent worth the castting time / cost / effort :)

[--Prodigy--]

Heh, well I heard that you can kill someone with one spell when there are no vulns/the vulns cancel each other out (i.e. lightning vuln 6 vs lightning prot 6 for example). Mana C obviously needs to be very high to reduce the cost but bearing in mind that with specced war you're gonna have a hell of a nice war magic skill I'd go with it.

[Muttman]

I went the UA/Life route, and I like it, got war trained to so I dont really use the UA bit too much (will probably work on that at higher levels)

One question tho.

How do I go about making buffs last longer, is that by using mana C, AL or just plain higher buffs.

Higher Buffs.

Mana C just means you use less mana to cast a spell. Mine is around 270 buffed, and I cast level six spells for less than ten mana.... sometimes!

Thought so.
