PvM Sage advice...?

[The Legendary Joe]

I'd suggest a higher lvl of free cast so if one of those monsters do somehow make it through your last line of defense such as firewall or safety wall, you can still stay out of their range.

I do love that you have Deluge, it makes teamwork with wizzies and water users slightly easier to achieve, but if you're anything like me, I'd be begging you for a constant Deluge so I can spam WaterBall at will. Also, I'd like to point out that there are added bonuses for the AoE Support skills. You cannot cast icewall on a vocano, firewall lasts twice as long on that Whirlwind, the prof skill blinding mist lasts twice as long on deluge, and magnetic earth prevents AoE skills as well as blocking pesky monsters like GR from teleporting. Also, there are unique effects from elemental armors and weapons (mainly the weapons just get their attack increased) of the corresponding spells that might or might not prove to be useful in PvM, I've never tried nor have seen anyone using it actually. While SP recov might be useful at lower levels, I'd think that having another ground spell would make a unique selection for support, especially on this server. Most just get them either for ME or Hocus Pocus (Another one I haven't seen here yet)


I could lead you on and on about sages, but since you're steering more towards a caster PvM build, I'll avoid blasting you with my battle sage banter.
