K,having a bit of trouble finding a build that would work well.
I don't use fox for much except as the odd skill.So what would be good for a Mage Veno?
I currently have a pet to help me out too.
Loads of the builds i've seen don't have dex points included,but i heard that dex points help with critical hits.
I'm lvl 33,these are my current stats:
Vit - 34
Str - 24
Mag - 107(no armour or weapons)with = 114
Dex - 6
My current build is 2 vit,1str and 7 mag every 2 lvls is that helps too.

    If you are a robe build your stats are pretty much perfect.

    Don't add any more Vit....30 is the sweet spot for robe builds, and Definatly don't add any Dex unless you're going to go to light armor.... add Str ONLY as needed for equips

    We're not archers, we don't build for Crit, we build for damage.

    Yeah. Mainly stats on MAG and STR for weapon usage.
    Use Robe for armor.
    For me, I stack on +MP for armor as I use lots of MP while my pets is tanking.

    Dex does help with critical hits... every 20 points nets you another percent.

    For a Veno this is usually not a good idea. Not only are you taking away valuable points that can be put into magic or vit, but also leaving yourself at risk of drawing agro from your pet via a series of well placed crits. Since robes in general make you inherently squishy you'll end up on your back probably more often than if you had added it to magic for pure reliable damage.

    You can stop invest you str around 39 (for quest helm) and go with 4 mag, 1vit every level. You will do very well in PvE. Make sure you invest your pet skill to hold aggro. You pet skill should be L3 at L40

    Criti only good for light armor build.
