2 hander war mage spell progression

[vontez]

Hi all, I was working on a half krolvin warfarer war mage, and I was wondering what order you go with the spells...as of now, i was going up to 903, then straight up 400's and 500's until I reach 27 MjE, and 425, then back over to wizard...but feel like i'm going to miss out on some good wizard defense/bolt spells. any advice?

I'd personally get: 902, 402 and 502 by 2nd...then continue up 500s and 900s for 509, 909 and 402 at 9th. I know you're missing out on some DS by not going up the 400s first, but I'm for a good offense, and 909 and 509 make that happen. Then do 500s and 400s for 406, 513, and 909 at 13th. 900s and 500s so you're 517, 406 and 913 at 17th. Switch back to 400s and 500s for till 27th, so you're 416, 527, 913 at 27th, then up 400s and 900s for 425, 527, 921 at 36.

My reasoning is to maximize you're AS, first of all, and haste (500s and air lore make it happen) as well as tremors. Second ,get the most DS you can, then utilities.

Anyway, thats my take, though others are more qualified.

I went up 500's and 400's first so I could get my RT reduction and 425 asap. You wont miss out on much, and you can still sneak in the occasional wizard circle rank if needed. By the time you have your full haste reduction, you'll have up to 913 or so. This also helps, because you're cutting out spell aiming since you don't have to deal with the 900s. I didn't train in spell aiming until level 30, where I capped it in 5 or less levels at 2x with no hinderance to my training plan.
