Mages are a versatile bunch, and they can prioritize either being a healer letting their party do the heavy lifting, or being a spellcaster capable of dishing out serious damage. Therefore we will cover both and keep it brief so you can easily figure out which path suits you the best. Keep in mind that for DPS you might want to look at the Sorcerer Vocation <\/strong>rather than the Mage, but Mages are still okay for solid damage.<\/p>
I personally run a Healer Mage <\/strong>as my main Pawn and give her a combination of solid damage output and lots of healing. High Flagration <\/strong>is a core part of this build, as it can set most enemies on fire in a single cast and take out flying enemies with ease. <\/p>
Lightning Affinity <\/strong>significantly boosts your party’s damage output, while Argent Succor <\/strong>and High Empyrean <\/strong>are there to keep everyone safe and sound and at the top of their game. A Healer Mage can literally save your life, though it is very squishy and enemies tend to prioritize attacking it. If you decide to run this build, keep your distance.<\/p>
