Build:Elite Mage

Full Build Details
This build focuses on Mana reduction making all spells cost 100% less Mana, meaning that you can cast all spells, even if you have 5 Mana. 30% of the Mana cost reduction comes from the skill Exalted that you get by the end of The Holy Mission of Elatt quest line, another 60% comes from the Gold-Lich Set, but you can also use the Jade-Lich Set (which provides only 55% mana cost reduction, but it doesn't matter because you will still have 100% free mana) as it provides different damage bonuses. You can either use the Jade Scimitar, Jade-Lich Mace or Living Wood Axe, they all provide 10% spell cost reduction.


 * Light Mender's Lexicon found in Voltaic Hatchery, is also recommended, it reduces the cost of spells by another 5%. Another 10% of the mana cost reduction comes from the skill Divine Assistance, although both of them are purely optional; you already have 100% spell cost reduction by now.

Now let's talk about martial tactics. In the Rune Sage skill tree choose the Runic Prefix instead of Internalized Lexicon, because it adds 30 decay damage the runic trap, you can even increase it further more with boons (see the combos section) you deal over all 120 non physical damage, or 130 if you have Shamanic Resonance active.

The second attack is based on lightning damage. if you cast Spark inside of Sigil of Wind, you create an attack called Lightning Spark that deals (with buffs) 91 lightning damage, if you cast Conjure you create Lightning Strike that deals (with buffs) 195 lightning damage.

Rune Combo

 * note: Damage Bonus does not affect the damage of traps.
