Portal:Mage

The Mage Portal

Mages are the designated spellcasters of the Nexus community. They're duties are encapsulated in strengthening attack and defense in allies and decreasing attack and defense in enemies. Soloing for mages is often tedious and thus many mages, even at low levels, are encouraged to fight alongside stronger fighters. Thus, aiding the group and earning massive amounts of experience.

Mages also require the most experience to reach 99, thus hunting with stronger players is encouraged.

The Art of Setmaking

Greetings! The art of making sets, this is something that is valued in a mage today. You must know what a set is, which one to do and how to make one. There are some basics on making sets, which I would like to discuss here.

When making a set, the monsters around you will probably not want to cooperate with you, they don't want to die! They will attack the poet, rogue or warrior instead of staying in place. How do you remedy that?

Tips

Cast Pestilence on yourself in PK situations to avoid getting Scourged, which would leave you with a much worse AC.

((Update 06/08: Pestilence can now be Atoneed. Also, Pestilence may not be cast on self or allys in a Carnage or Bloodlust and that change was made long ago.
