Mage Discussion

In those images, are you running a more physical or magic oriented build? One thing I noticed lately (focusing on magic) is that I've been so busy generating and spamming chasers that I barely use basic attack at all, but you have it in your top 3 most damaging skills. I've been wondering if I should try to work it into my playstyle, though things die all the same.

Physical focused, but aiming to be slightly hybrid.

I chaser spam as well, and it adds so much DPS (not to mention it's almost always rank 1 on overall DPS). Seems that I tend to primarily use Basic Attack, Dragon Fang, Sky Assault, and Palm Blast constantly moving around keeping them airborne or on the ground in conjunction with weaving in Chaser Launcher.

Unless they nerfed the first hit of Basic Attack for BMs, it should still have the chance to deal increased damage.

My current build at 50 is:

 Spoiler

Do magic crit and magic rear attack passives have any use on a summoner? Like, do they increase the crit/damage of the summons?

Not worth it in my opinion. Summoned Creature Aura covers that and more. I read they don't affect summons, however, I'm not 100% sure.

Level 11 gives me 22% P/M Attack and 44% P/M Critical Rate @ 833 range. The growth for this is at the rate of +2% attack, +4% critical rate, and +33 range per level of SCA.

At level 70 you should have lv 19 SCA giving +38% attack and +76% critical rate @ ~1100 range.
At level 85 you should have lv 24 SCA giving +48% attack and +96% critical rate @ ~1267 range.
