Battle mage guide - Remoir - 2010-12-21
Following this guide, thanks Takebacker~

I found that at level 30 going 1 Spell Mastery, 1 Dark Chain, 1 Quad Blow then maxing Staff Mastery was great, not sure why you wouldn't max Mastery first, as it increase Damage/Crit Rate/Mastery.

I agree with above statement, but i dont see whats so bad about blood drain, adding hp from attacks its like arans drain att, explain please?

Besides, Blue Aura, Yellow Aura, Dark Chain, and Quad Blow are all pre-requistes for later skills. Mastery is a must, and Booster lasts only 90 seconds at max. There's just nothing else worth giving up in place of it.
Battle mage guide - Dusk - 2010-12-21
This is the build I followed:
1st job:
10: 3 Triple Blow, 1 Teleport, 1 Finish Attack
Max Triple Blow
Max Teleport
Max Dark Aura
Max Finish Attack
Level 1 Dark Aura does nothing unless you somehow have over 100 Magic Attack, so there's no point in getting it early except for the subtle effect. Battle Mages consume a ton of mana with their 1st job skills, so maxing Teleport early is a must. It's not just for pot costs. It is very annoying to pot every 5 seconds because you ran out of mana to Teleport. Max Dark Aura next, then Finish Attack. You won't be using Finish Attack much.
2nd job:
30: 1 Dark Chains, 1 Quad Blow, 1 Yellow Aura
5 Mastery
1 Booster
Max Mastery
+4 Booster (5)
Max Quad Blow
Max Yellow Aura
1 Blue Aura
Max Dark Chains
Max Booster
Max Blue Aura
3 Blood Drain
I haven't gotten Blood Drain yet (still level 5x) but it doesn't seem to matter much. I'd rather have the maxed Booster timer since it's so short already. Yellow Aura is much better than Dark Aura for training, in my opinion, although I'm 1hkoing EVERYTHING at my level since Quad Blow is so strong so I don't really need Dark Aura for anything. The extra speed is pretty helpful, and attacking at Faster (3) speed feels amazing. Everything else in this build is pretty self-explanatory, I think.
Battle mage guide - donovan - 2010-12-21
I got 1 Drain early on and HP pots use was minimal at drakes got maybe 4 levels consuming 7 Barbarian Elixirs.
Agreeing with Yellow Aura statement, if you OHKO the monster the speed is definitely noticeable, and the increase in training speed.

What exactly does Blue Aura do? The description doesn't help me too much.

The "distributed" damage is the amount of damage that gets reduced. So if you take 100 damage and 30% is distributed, you take 70 damage instead. I haven't been able to test what the absorbed part means yet. I'll get on it later if I can find anyone who wants to help.
Battle mage guide - Worthyness - 2010-12-21
Since booster and drain both have crappy durations, could you possibly do booster at 10 and 13 drain (for the 4%
? They last just about the same time, just didn't know if GMS implemented the +2 booster at all levels or +1/+2 split. (I'm pretty sure they have the +2 at all levels).

I was thinking the same. Is Blue Aura really necessary?
Battle mage guide - Dusk - 2010-12-21
You need maxed Blue Aura for Advanced Blue Aura. And before you go OLOL I'LL JUST SKIP ADVANCED BLUE AURA, note that it has a passive 20% status immunity + elemental resistance and when active, it reduces damage by 40% at maxed level and increases weapon/magic defense by 60%.

So without a doubt, blue is a must?

If that's the case, then the skill descriptuion is probably backwards and should read : Absorbs xx% of damage taken, and distributes xx% of the absorbed damage among party members.
Maybe?

Up to you. I'm just pointing out all the things you miss without it.
3rd job build: SO MANY GOOD 1-POINT SKILLS
70: 1 Tele Mastery, 1 Adv Dark Chain, 1 Death Blow
71: 1 Battle Mastery, 1 Super Body, 1 Conversion (in case you need a big temporary HP boost for something)
1 Dark Shock
Max Battle Mastery
Max Death Blow
Max Tele Mastery
Max Dark Shock
Max Adv Dark Chain
Max Super Body
Max Conversion
Max Adv Blue Aura
Rest in Reaper
Explanation: All of these skills have amazing utility at level 1. Anyone who's ever played a post-BB 3+ job mage knows how amazing Tele Mastery is and how great of a 1-pointer it is. Adv Dark Chain increases your Dark Chain range by a ton, and obviously that first point in Death Blow helps up your damage by a lot.
Next you'll want that first point in Battle Mastery for +11% damage, and 1 Super Body for the extra +1 attack speed 1/3 of the time and 1 Conversion; in case you go somewhere and you need +64% HP for 1 point, it's there.
Battle Mastery is the biggest damage booster, so that's maxed first. Next is Death Blow, and then Tele Mastery. After that the build is kind of fuzzy, really depends on what you want.

Never used Blue on my Battlemage. But I felt like it should be maxed if the time came where it would be useful. Besides, if you don't max Advanced Blue Aura [and by extension the prerequisite] you'll have too much extra SP in 3rd job. You can't put skill points into a previous job with resistance characters. Might cause some "too much SP" issues. Give it a try if you want.
Here to say 13BD/10 Booster is very solid. Both timers are absolute ass. Might as well grab the 4% drain.
Battle mage guide - Olsi - 2010-12-21
Is it certain you still get the +2 speed from booster, and if so that sucks cause i maxed booster already =O

Nah, I advanced to 2nd job and was already level 35 or so before I realized that my Finish Attack was still at 7.
Battle mage guide - donovan - 2010-12-22
Got to 70 I ended up going 1 Teleport Mastery, 1 Dark Shock, 1 Quntinple Blow, probably should of done Battle Mastery instead, but I really like Dark Shock.
ALSO WTP NEXON NO RING :|.
Battle mage guide - whybanme - 2010-12-22
At 70, I think I'll do 1 Teleport Mastery, 1 Quintuple Blow, and 1 Adv. Dark Chain
Then 71, I'll do 1 Dark Shock, 1 Battle Mastery, and 1 Reaper
