wat do u think of this ice/light mage build?

[jjwalter]

I'm currently level 68, and I'm hoping to get to 70 by Christmas or shortly after. I plan on using DarkPhive's build (or a slight variation therof,) and I'd like to know if there is anything faster from 70 to ~73 than red drakes. With the exception of quests and a few other training places just for a change of pace, I've been there since 51. I must say I am EXTREMELY tired of red drakes. I can get roughly 130,000 exp/hr there, but I'm at the point where Ijust want to go somewhere else. Are red drakes still the fastest exp from 70-73, or could I head to DT's once I make the advancement?

Also, can anyone tell me why DarkPhive's build is faster than the one posted at the beginning of this thread?

By the way, Torrisrox, your avatar is rather...spooky.

u should go to zombies, its way better than drakes but similar becuase it is also a 3hit kill (and dont look at me like im crazy i know they give 30 less exp, but zombies spawn so fast that they MORE than make up for it)
also i dont see why u cant go train with lighting at either
hot sands
zombie lupins
master chronos (if u have good m.atck)
wraiths (specially good with a cleric/preist friend)

or u can go and use ice at DTs, the exp is not bad as long as u keep it simple and go to the next DT once u kill one.
however due to the very slow process of killing one u dont make money at all
also they hit like crazy
they take so many hits nonstop ur MP does not recover fast enough
in the end its ok exp but its also a big whole in da pocket if u no what i mean ;)
my advice would be find a sin thats 8x and party him, hell only want u for ur freeze but u still get good exp.

as to my biuld being better, well its just little things.
such as 4 amp (the first 4 lvls of amp give 2% m.atck increase, where as after it is only 1)
or the fact that at first ull only want 28 ice strike becuase at lvl 28 the range is maxed and it only lacks a few attack points and those 2 skill points can be vital in use of other skills, like getting lvl 11 booster 1 lvl earlier

its just those little things that add up at the end xD

Seal will allow you to use thunder spear, your most powerful attack =D

And ice strike/cold beam wouldn't?

Lol

Seal: Level 20: MP -30; 95% success rate for 20 seconds
Comp: Level 30: MP -22; Basic attack 140, mastery 60%, freezes enemy for 2 seconds

Get it?

Dammit, I've had a cold so I couldn't post for a while, and now everyone has gotten ahead of me :cry:

Anyway, back on topic, I like the author of this thread's original build. I'm still a proponent of thunder spear first, and I will do thunder spear first, just to show how good it is.

Only 11 lvl's left !!!!

I bleive they upped that recently.

Even my level 1 cold beam freezes for over 2 sec. (maybe they didn't up comp?)

they updated global a long time ago so that now the freeze is 3-5 secs (correct me if im wrong) in cold beam...yet IS seems to have a lower freeze time, or maybe it gets better as i lvl it, right now lvl 7 freezes for only about 2-3 secs o_O
never bothered actaulyl counting tho...
