arching mage round 2

[goremouth]

Okay so I still have a couple levels to plan this out but I'm looking for some additional advice for setting up training.

as of now I'm looking to go
1x ranged
1x miu
1x as
2x spell aim
2x harn (or 1x if points aren't available)
2x spell
1x emc
2x percept
1x pt
1x air lore if possible
.5 or .25x earth for better stoneskin if its a proven commodity


i have 4 in armor, as an arching mage should i try to push that up?
would cman be useful for now or should I focus on that post cap?

is there anything I'm missing?

Is this even feasible?

if it helps my stats are:
Gender: Male Age: 1500 Expr: 473934 Level: 20
Normal (Bonus) ... Enhanced (Bonus)
Strength (STR): 63 (6) ... 63 (6)
Constitution (CON): 72 (11) ... 71 (10)
Dexterity (DEX): 96 (28) ... 96 (28)
Agility (AGI): 66 (23) ... 66 (23)
Discipline (DIS): 75 (-3) ... 75 (-3)
Aura (AUR): 100 (30) ... 100 (30)
Logic (LOG): 86 (18) ... 86 (18)
Intuition (INT): 60 (5) ... 60 (5)
Wisdom (WIS): 76 (13) ... 76 (13)
Influence (INF): 40 (5) ... 40 (5)

what spells should I focus on, haste is an obvious choice, but how far into wizard should i roll deep into...maybe 913 for spell casting backup? And I know either 403 or 404 boosts accuracy for ranged so I will grab those but should I pump hard into 5s and 4s?

currently rocking 403/520/920 and plan on stopping wizard for a while.

thanks in advance for any advice

As an archer, no CMANs are useful to you except Disarm and Cunning Defense.

You want 425 at 25 and 430 at 30. The AS boost from 425 is huge to a 1x weapon class like a wizard. I'd spec to 420/510/913. Single 400s and raise 500s toward the goal of 527 (this, along with 24 ranks Air Lore, knocks another second from your Hasted RT). You can stay at 913 until hitting 527.

Sounds good! Now will I get the AS boost from 425 given that its a ranged weapon and not swung?

[audioserf]

Hell yeah you will.

It gets better - you can use 513 along with ranged weaponry, as it doesn't decrease your AS (only decreases melee AS).

Ranged weapon warmages are the way to go. Until you're much higher in levels, however, don't bet on aiming your shots accurately. Just focus on pure speed and attrition to get your kills.

word! Stoked, paired with a pure limb breaking empath this could be golden girls series finale awesome! Thanks much for your insight!
