BATTLE MAGE GUIDENOTE:sorry for mistakes in grammarINTRODUCTION:In my second guide I will introduce you to battle mage class.Its one of the most easiest and friendiest class.Battle mages must be fast killers who don"t give enemies a chance to try something.It combine mage skills,Priest skill,Ranger skill and Warrior skills.
STAT POINTS:-First 3 points in strenght and only 1 in Vitality
-Second 2 points in intelligence and 2 in spirit
-Get 15-20 strenght(It will allow you better equipment)
-10 spirit and 10 intelligence
-From this moment on you create your own way.At the end of the game
I had around 45 strength,35 intelligence,20 spirit,35 vitality(with equipment) and many unused points.But of course you can always take "mana efficient" and save mana points for "thousand strikes"
The point is that you will use magic to bring enemies health to 10-30% and then just slay them with one hit
