what are in your opinion must have skill perks for IG/VG build?

Thanks for these. This is my first MMO and I've been studying your ways to improve. I've got shards for FS, IG and a plate helmet rn, what perks would you use for them? For the FS+IG I was gonna do Keen and for the Helmet some weapon specific perk for the IG probably?

@@curtlooker unending thraw for IG and scream perk for VG

@@robertyoushock unending thraw for IG and better fireball for FS

What should I prioritize on IG crit damage or crit rate? And void g im assuming crit rate?

oblivion costs too much mana to use outside of high value teamfight placement // edit: compared to just use iceshower which is rend and more dmg amp

glad to help brohter

yes thats true, i wasnt 100% sure while making the guide, still helps the entire combo tho

i do run icedmg atm you can see it in my duel videos

Also, Voidcaller perk won't do anything since you lose the stacks when you swap. It's not reliable without Voidblade to consistently proc it.

ill tell the truth, not playing voidblade is a statement, its just the most op and boring shit in the game rn. its fucked up

@@drgitgud really? I get musketed/Bowed down, and been playing void blade since they nerfed us mages into the ground. of course i built my character literally to take out GA/Hammer users. Having no mobility is rough. Void blade get clapped by bow and musket, Will probably lose to a fire and ice mage due to slows and Burn out. but its strength is unaliving, those spear,sword, rapier, GA, Hammer users.

@@NativeJoe012 it’s OP in in OPR, is what I’m assuming he’s saying.

i mean there is a full in detail explaination on how to get a 4hit spike, maybe rewatch that part

empowered 100%

thats why you should play void blade with this build

@@tanillop void blade in place for what? Orb of decay?

vicious is the best i think, keen is pretty meh in pvp

yes definetly get keen / vicious! and get rid of notihngness, the focus on it is really bad for the build vicious is better imo

@@drgitgud Thank you ! I just got Top 1 and average 12-18 kills per match in OPR. My ping is around 130ms-165ms, so it really hard to get 4 stack damage of Ice Spike.

medium is still king, after trying light all i can say is light is more fun but weaker

this build is kinda in your face, if anything you get people into sticky situations, in 1vX its all about dodging right

@@drgitgud thks for the response. This is next level mage

idk why i would waste 50 dex for 5% crit, crit is pretty shitty in pvp because of crdmg reduction

you have to be in meele range to do your combo, you want medium trust me

@@drgitgud yes I noticed. I get raped all the time in OPR. I make good damage but if 2 or 3 players rush me, I die 90% of the time and am not able to get away.

you dont have mana for orb oblivion scream shower spike.

@@drgitgud yeah but for quick combo you do. You can oblivion into scream into orb into spike

@@naomi-nada oblivion is 20% dmg boost ice passive is 35% for less mana

@@drgitgud maybe 1v1 but its not practical in group stuff or war. Oblivion is faster, helps your team and 20% dmg boost to ice spikes is already enough to drop most people to near 0. You expose yourself to being cc'd already by playing VG, going up and trying to shower someone just for spikes is wasteful and adds more risk. Shower is also on a long cooldown.

shield / firestaff

@@drgitgud How about Dex 50 with IG&firestaff ? Is it inefficiency?

i see alot of people trying, it looks easy but actually hitting those big spikes is way harder than you think

@@drgitgud for sure

The numbers went up though lol

i wasnt sure myself, it feels like its working but i think it shouldnt

Wasnt the empower from vg that made the increase, but the rends and ig bunos damage such as ultimate chill. You could replace orb with oblivion though.

@@bakill1546 oblivion is too much mana

yeah i have like 8ms, servers are still dogshit tho so its rought sometimes

i do at the end

luckily i destroy heavy armor users on a daily basis and have plenty of footage on this channel lmao

@@drgitgud can I have a link or the title name of the video so I can finally stomp those w left click warriors

@@arnoldschwarzeniagara5096 is it too much to ask to just klick one of my duel videos like voidshatter mage raw duels or hard matchups or even light armor duels..

not that i know of

BRUH

danke man

2:30. read the highlighted part and everything after that, watch the video pls :D

It is a root btw, so you can still attack in place. So you can answer back with a stun to get away or even hold right click to block.

WH still has spammable stuns fym

i think its more about that ga takes exaclty 0 skill to use

good thing you can press block and literally block all the damage.

@@timothybraun3796 only works against bad spikers. a good spike will explode right behind you and you can block that

@@rifie1495 A good player doesn’t get hit with spike unless they are stuck in a shower. Literally no good player gets hit with a spike without a reposte stun or sword & shield bash… if you know they have spike then stay your distance. It even has a extremely recognizable animation on top of it.

Mage needs a... thing. this requires a setup, gear, and someone to be undergeared glass cannoning to really make it effective. You cant just run out and start ice spiking everything hoping it will die. it just doesn't, and if you don't line it up PERFECTLY, ur attack does like 700 damage. maybe less. like most mage skills. Literally , any melee attack does more damage then mages skills unless they are set up. Mage AOE's tickle the enemy, and are easily healed off. Mages' are out damaged and skill damaged verses other ranged classes. Mages are sub optimal basically in every situation- So they have to use their control ( ice shower, slows, burning, debuffs, empower stacking) of the battle field, and go for a setup to kill. if you You don't walk into ice shower, block, or run away. and dont walk into the setup. or immunity frame setup...then that mage, is a dead mage. Its really not that hard. if you see a mage Ice storming a door in OPR, walk behind the base and go into the other door, A mage with its back to you, is a dead mage. You can Delete mages a hundred different ways. LET them have something. JFC

like joe mama for example

Ah... i see an Axe/Hammer player

@@pjetzl7090 actually not at all, I’m Playing bow atm. I was playing the exact setup as you are now. Seems really not normal …

@@lejedidelingo its funny, you can do even more damage with rain of arrow / penshot headshot combo on bow so yeah, nerf that first

@@drgitgud play bow first, you will understand how stupid you are saying this. I played mage, I know what I say. You’re saying bullshit, obviously you’ve no idea how many damage mage does… and more importantly you speak about things you have no idea … next time try to think before talking.

@@lejedidelingo i mained bow for 3 weeks your comment is kinda embarrassing brother, calm your tits little internet warrior, my best friend plays bow and hits 3-4k penshots on body in duels + 2k lights on my medium 200 cons setup, you can roll and 100% crit rain of arrows and time a penshot perfectly to lign up the damage to burst over 8k on a setup target while dishing out retarded amounts of dmg with light attacks while jumpcanceling and having 5 dodges with dex, do your homework before going on such a pathetic tantrum

It's getting nerfed in the next patch, luckily.

its not the same cast, the balls spawn right in the middle and collide with your hurtbox as they spawn, deal damage and despawn. they have to make them spawn furthe rout the middle to make them not hit like that, or activate their hitbox later

If your betting they will nerf mage. You are most certainly hedging your Bet. They're currently playing Bow, Sword, GA, Hammer. so expect those to get buffed, and everything else counter play to that to be nerfed.

@@NativeJoe012 ah yes poor mages, yet broken IG since the game started, even after nerfs oneshotting with ice spikes and now getting buffs. About VG not even gonna comment. weapon has replaced all GAs already.

@@BluEclipse94 "replaced all GAs already". This is funny.

Nah don't get nerf happy again pls. This is the only thing making mage viable rn after the nerfs. Ga didn't need to be nerfed, mage didn't need it either. You keep this mentality up everyone will be playing box/musket/rapier.

@@HumbleHomunculus smoking copium while swinging that great axe huh

@@jocerv43 nope comfy with my vg/ig heavy build now. Just don't want dex losers crying until the game becomes mmo call of duty. My light armor ga/wh build is literally unusable do to the lunge nerf. It's been proven to be 2m instead of 3.5 as well, I'd be fine with 3.5.

its called glasscanon builds my man :D

i do, why
