Wraith -> Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:27:19)

Guys, if you haven't noticed yet...


Mages are not OP, and we don't all use malf-aux-pistol.

I am introducing the strength mage! Ogel/Shadow Cloak made the original build, and I tweaked it a bit to fit my liking. I know this build with not be the "favorite" build, but I am hoping that some people will be open to using it. *AK, this does not belong in the BS, I am trying to see people's opinions on it*

Pros: Super Fast Kills. Occasional 1-Hit, Deadly Aim is AWESOME
Able to kill ALL malf-aux mages, and almost all mercs. I beat Jeggagin/Jomg with this build in 2-hits.

Cons: Once the battle is extended by boosters/loopers, you are 80% dead. Crits help a lot.
STR bounties. I got killed by a F2P 29! OMG!

All in all, here is a link to the build. Clicky! I'm not sure if I am allowed to post pics here...

Str mages work way better with staff since you can use bludegon and assimilate.



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:31:41)

@od, yes, but notice I am a level 31. I will get Celtic War Staff soon, new build will be provided.

More cons: low heal.



od -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:33:08)

Also, you should probably get boomstick. I think str mages s
are good with right equips and a good build.



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:35:27)

Yes, good point. Other than the fact that I have under 5000 credits after buying Charfade's Cruiser.

Also you put ur sig twice on the page od.



Competition -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:36:37)

Seems like a fit build.



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:37:12)

Why thank you Competition. My first compliment.

Edit: Also Boomstick has 2 less Dexterity than Imperial ACP, but then, oh well, I'm not a tank.



od -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:46:11)

@LS
oh oops, thnx for the heads up

Anyways, I think it's a good build and a kinda original idea but it could be better,

Since You have lots of wasted points, 1 on dex, if you slide that to tech you get +1.5 resistance .


Getting killed by lowlvls isn't a huge problem, I almost lost to a f2p lvl 28 (8 hp!) when I missed a turn and got crit twice



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 21:50:45)

Dude, I tweaked it. It was supposed to have 74 hp. And using Ghoul Cannon.

I will fix it at 32.

Also it rocks at killing Shadow Guard, Hulk, and Lawman. Lawman is a bit sketchy tho.



BloodRainbow -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:03:22)

Str mage builds are fun, but there not nearly as suspenseful as Mercs or BH.

Mercs have hybrid armor which helps them make up for the lack of defence. and they have multiple moves that improve with Str.

BH work good because they have smoke and SA which allows them to have a much high chance to conect. and because of the abiltiy to replenish hp everytime they hit. and they have cheapshot and mass

but realy the only things that str mages got is bludgen(but u can only use if u have staff) and DA but that now has a sup requirement which is kind of a pain. yea we have malf but because of the low sup its weak.

i have had some success using str mage builds in 2v2 but not so much in 1v1.



helloguy -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:17:40)

I Don't Think Anyone Thinks Mages Are OP.......



OhMyGoshness -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:31:36)

^ so true



BloodRainbow -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:36:09)

^
^ noone has said or implied anything about mages being OPed



jarrenh1 -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:37:50)

^
^
Yep, everybody pretty much considers mages Under Powered



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 22:38:05)

@OhMyGosheness and Hello guy, I never said Tech Mages were OP. I just said this was a good build.

Jeez, The reason for lack of defense is that I go for the quick kill. Defense Matrix gives +19 defense, not a lot, but enough to save you. Malfunction does -27, and that is quite efficent.

This build, on the last 20 battles, I won 17 of them. 85%. That is good, espescially since I did them in 6 minutes.



eragonshadeslayer67 -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 23:15:35)

Str mages are alright with full enhancements I bet, I've tried one with celtic war staff but they're not too great



Wraith -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 23:25:24)

^: I will try to make one, hopefully it works. I will be farming Arcade to hope for credits. I should get something, I have 1700 tokens! 1700/5=340. And then I will be farminf NPCs.



helloguy -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/5/2011 23:55:35)

Well in your second sentence you say "Mages are not OP". I think everyone already knows that.



Soliqe -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 1:08:31)

*facepalm*

The Strength Mage has always existed. The major popularity of it was dwarfed(right when it was becoming popular) due to heal looping.

Strength builds are nothing "new" and they existed since the AE|||EI merge. I personally was using 80+ strength builds at that time. (Malf-Deadly Aim combo)



BlueKatz -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 1:20:16)

Honestly I can say I myself tried a lot of STR Mage because of my really wrong gears, and I can say STR mage is not so good, at least compare to any other Build, and Str build is really bad vs Focus build and tank build. Note that nowadays people have SA and smoke while Mer have STR nerf, a tank Focus mage is really hard to kill too



Shocka -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 1:24:42)

Reminds me of Zinrius and his laugh. Oh boy [8|]



PD -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 1:29:58)

@Shocka:

D:

You just reminded me of his evil laugh!



Soliqe -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 1:39:02)

My old equipments consisted of level 30 and 29 equipments.

Rune Cleaver (Very popular in its day)
Tactical Kurz MP
(I forget the zooka because bunnys did not exist until much later)
Founder Armor

I miss those days :3

@the 2 users above

GYAHAHHAHAHHAAHA



voidance -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 3:11:53)

I dont use mine often but when i do it uses Celtic War Staff, Skullfire Blaster, Frost Cannon, and Warbot P. Thats about as good as it gets for a Str mage. I used to use Cryomancer Staff but like the Celtic War because i can get more str and the 2% connect. I dont remeb the stats perfectly but ik it had 110hp, 70-80+40str, mid 20s Def/Res, and decently high Malfunction/mid high Assimilation/like 4 DA/6-7 Reroute/and decently high Field Medic. Although the % isnt in the 80-90s, matches only last 2-5 turns which makes it fast wins.



Soliqe -> RE: Strength Mage Discussion (4/6/2011 3:48:35)

An excellent STR build would need to consist of the following equips. Sadly, 1/3 is ULTRA-RARE and 2/3 are Seasonal-Rare

Celtic Staff- Very good strength staff and even more fearsome when enhanced properly.
Frostbolt- My choice in this is because it has strength stat mods, and it's energy
Bunnyzooka- Obvious reasons, it's physical and it has strength stat mods.
Founder Armor would work best in this situation, but considering no one has Founder armor anymore, the Cyborg Armor is a decent replacement.
