Tank Mage templates

[Sang]

Heya,

Just wanted to see what kind of tank mages were out there, variations of templates with other skills. I'm thinking of going FENCING b/c of the fast weapons, and use of poison, although the butcher knife is definitely a seller for swordsmanship.

Cant decide on whether I should have 90 poison for DP fields and infecting OR 90 tact for wep specials, or BOTH.

120 Fencing
90 Poison
110 Mage
120 Eval
120 Resist
100 Med


120 Fencing
90 Tact
110 Mage
120 Eval
120 Resist
100 Med
60 Chiv / Spellweaving / Anat


120 Fencing
110 Mage
120 Eval
100 Resist
90 Med
90 Tact
90 Poison


Any thoughts or ideas? Possible other secondary skills?

Tank mages have been severally nerfed recently. If you really want to try to put one together i'd go with the poisoning one. You have to really work on your timing because you can't "stack" special moves and spells any more.

120 Fencing
90 Poisoning
110 Mage
120 Eval
120 Resist
110 Med
50 Chiv

Go with that. Ideally you'd want 120 magery and 80 poisoning though.

Swords weapons can also be effective, as the small, fast weapons have useful special moves (my mage PvPs as well as PvMing).

Mage 120
Eval 110
Resist 110
Swords 110
Medi 100
Tactics 90
Poison 80

DP'd / hit spell / DCI cleaver - bleed &amp; infect
DP'd / leech / hit spell knife - infect &amp; disarm
