Old school Mage needs upgrade for the new millenium.

[Cupid]

This was my second char I made in 1998 and I think it may be possible to do mare damage with your help and possibly get a drop at the EM events :-O

Magery=120
Eval Int=120
Resist = 120
Meditation=120
Hiding= 100
Poison=80
focus- 60

I was thinking dropping poison and focus for Mysticism so I can cast RC's but not sure it is an upgrade from a pair of EV's, strictly PVM speaking is that an upgrade ?

Thanks

RCs deal far more damage, have far more HP and better resists.
It is also faster to cast one RC than two EV's.

But for it to work at full potential, you need 120 focus.
I'd drop resist for it, or would drop hiding and poison. You don't need hiding when you can cast invisibility.

So then this would be the upgraded PVM template ?

Magery=120
Eval Int=120
Resist = 120
Meditation=120
Myst=120
Focus = 120

Thanks

Yes, that would be it.
If you want more bang for your buck, replace 120 resist with 120 spellweaving to be able to cast arcane empowerment.

120 med and 120 focus will give you some pretty nice mana regen, but you should try to get at least 22~25 MR on your suit.

as your suit gets better you can run studded with 55% lmc and max mana gen.. and drop med if u want for another skill. just an option

If you go with studded and focus only, carry wraith form scrolls if your character is human.
You leech a good amount of mana with joat spirit speak, enough SDI and a slayer book to keep your mana high enough to keep casting RCs.
