[Post-BB] Mage Builds

There is no point in arguing which one is more useless. We both agree the 3 summons don't worth any SPs post BB.

I don't use the playing style you described on page 1 against high level mobs i.e. "Mage killing style is mostly initiating mobs with your attack skills, then immediately telecasting by. It will mostly be finishing off monsters as you teleport past them.". I don't like getting KB so I always freeze/seal first (if I know I am gonna get hit), kill, telecast to next mobs. I don't use teleport as a finisher.

I don't understand why you wouldn't. I'm a very weak Arch Mage and I have no need for freezing skills to avoid tanking hits while training. Despite my very low damage in comparison to other Mages, I'm still killing monsters too fast to need to use any skills that immobilize.
