    if you have bad gear i would recommend restat to bout 50 vit.. or full int..
    and AA coz in tw you have to take out enemies and not tanking their dmg..
    and you also dont need dex >.<.. thats 1% crit which is irrelevant at highlvl
    you need 49 str for tt 90 aa or 54 str for tt 99 aa.. so your str is okay.. but keep it at around 49-54 not higher.. restat str if you want higher mag dmg

    there is a search feature for a reason.. but here goes

    LA benefits:
    extra 4-5% crit
    ability to use channeling ornaments

    arcane benefits
    more survivability (hp/pdef/mdef)
    more damage

    Unless you are crazy about -channeling, you should be arcane.
    You should have minimum dex (5) and minimum str for your level (49str at 90... 54str at 99), if your gear isn't amazing you should have some vit in. Most mages put it in with groups of 50 for the easy restat, so 53vit is not a problem.. maybe 103 if your gear is terrible. All the rest of your points should be in magic. Although the amount of vit you put in is really based on personal preference, I would say you need at the VERY minimum 4k hp unbuffed at 90, and 5k hp unbuffed at 100+.

    Gotta tell your stats are a mess... I suggest you read the guides and check the equips real good wizards wear so you'll have a clue of what to do next. Forget about TW for now.

    well, put away dex, str only what u need for AA and... about 50 vit should be enouth.

    and i think going LA at that lvl is senseless, cause at 90 u would go AA (90+ LA wiz is just epic fail!)

    PVE= Arcane
    lose the dex, and the vit, your HH90 will give you a nice amount of HP, also shard with citrines.

    PVP= LA
    La is ****, either way, I know people who have gone full glass cannon and pre90 were skilled pvp wise

    pve mage= not much to be skilled at/with =.=

    Flame all you want.
    LA is a pk build only
    you'll die alot in PVE pre 90, and even at 90, unless you have wicked refines and shards, you'll still die.

    people say "Shard mdef in some gear for low LA pve"
    if you do that, go delete your character now.

    take it from this screenshot I had a while back

    just gonna say this:

    59xx HP - 6k HP with next refine (today or tomorrow).
    7.5k pdef self buffed

    BM/Cleric buffed
    9.2k pdef.

    BM +cleric buffed
    11.1k pdef - 11,1k mdef.

    Barb buffed 7.6xx HP.

    Magic attk unbuffed 11.6k, buffed 12.9k


    15% crit

    Could someone give me a reasonable explanation why chosing LA would be better than this: http://pwcalc.ru/pwi/?char=4373b68b488aad5d?
    Thanks.

    i say, especially at lv 90+ go full magic arcane, i was LA from lv 70-90, not that good in pve, and pvp still sucked bc my damage was sh*t. you'll still get good p def and hp goin AA, and a ton of att, at lv 100 i got 5027 hp unbuffed, no vit and 42% phy reduction in HH 90 gear+5 and OHT ornaments (cant afford the nice aniva pack items, noncashoper and my luck sucks >_>)

    ps: anyone who posts an acual number for their phy def, its irrelvant, u get dimishin returns from phy def, got 2.8k and thats 42%......while if i had 7.1k, it only be 64%.
    well when ur LA psy has same wep grade and refine as ur pure AA wiz, hits as high per shot, has faster dps, and has 2x the crit %, time to retire the wiz............

    dam op fishy....

    damn your pdef is TERRIBLE. Going from 40% -> 60% pdef reduction means you take 1/3 less physical damage, which is a pretty big deal.

    I think -98 channeling (Mightve counted it wrong) isnt possible on here and its useless anyway if you dont like to use it...

    lol its -97 channeling, just hit the statistics button and it'll count up all the adds for you :P But either way the gear would be ridiculously hard to find (most of it doesn't even exist) and you'd still suck. Skills have casting and you may be able to get 2 or 3 skills off in the time someone with no channeling gets one off.. but that one skill would easily one shot this build. Just dumb imo

    Hmm cool didnt know about that button. It *could* be decent if the instant cast thing after -90% works but if anyone spots you (and they will fast enough) youll be dead in a couple normal hits >.>
