    Default Seriously, what SHOULD be maxed first? (mages)

    So there's an ice mobbing attack, a strong lightning attack, and there's compo. I want to be useful and powerful and strong and kick the crap out of everything that comes my way, mostly for quick levelling but also because zakum and papulatus call out to me and I need to have a chat with them soon. Pianus isn't calling out to me. He's a fish. fish can't talk.

    Also, since i'm actually active playing a F/P-to-be magician right now, what's best to start with in that case? I'm guessing most people go for explosion, but I don't know if that's just the popular choice or what.

    If I don't plan ahead, i'm probably going nowhere in third job, and I only have first and second down the way I like.

    "Made first" not "maked first"

    Actually, you're wrong, it's supposed to be "maxed", which I will now fix.

    Fair enough, that makes a little more sense.

    I thought it isn't essential to max Booster and/or Seal?

    It isn't. But you've got to pick one :D . (seal may be 19, but that's close enough)

    There is a guide for I/L mages on sleepywood that I like:

    The second post has 3rd job information that I think is pretty reliable.

    -Maple Hiatus- Playing WoW at least until 4th job comes out

    Frozenstein- 70 Mage on Altar of Storms.
    Look me up if you wanna play!

    Maxed seal or booster for the points leftover. Authentic's ice build is really gonna get you to gobi's a lot faster. The guide BigFuzzy like is the option of squids or vikings. Gobi's the fastest exp in GMS, but i'm guessing parties may pass you by if better options are available. Up to you which ones suit your gameplay. Since Cheez will be using an f/p, the build Authentic posted is really good for exp. Power wise, I hope you don't mind the numbers you're seeing for fire arrow. Sorry no boss hunting till you deal decent damage with explosion or comp.

    Thanks Allysiana for the sig. Thanks ElderDragon for the avatar.
