Takeaways

• 😀 The Mage job is ideal for long-duration hunts, allowing players to hunt for 8, 10, or even 24 hours without the need for potions.
• 😀 Mage offers a unique feature where hitting a basic attack activates *Enlightenment*, reducing the cooldown of skills by up to 70%.
• 😀 The Mage has three healing skills—*Vitality Spell Support*, *Quick Healing*, and *Dark Power Support*—that allow for fast recovery and sustain during hunts.
• 😀 Mage levels up faster than other jobs like Hunter and Dark Lancer, making it a great choice for those looking to level quickly.
• 😀 Unlike Hunter and Dark Lancer, Mage doesn’t rely on raw damage; instead, it focuses on healing and cooldown reduction, making it perfect for stamina-focused gameplay.
• 😀 The Mage's *Enlightenment* skill synergizes well with cooldown reduction, allowing players to use healing skills and abilities faster, improving efficiency.
• 😀 While Mage may deal less damage than Hunter or Dark Lancer, its ability to hunt for longer periods makes it more beneficial for extended sessions.
• 😀 At level 500, Mage unlocks increased magic attack power, but even at level 200, it offers significant advantages like reduced cooldowns on attacks.
• 😀 Quick Healing is recommended as the primary healing skill due to its short cooldown and effectiveness compared to Life Absorption, which is less reliable during high cooldown periods.
• 😀 For the best weapon and ability setup, prioritize *Power of Darkness* and *Soul Exhaust* for magic power and healing, balancing your gear to match your hunting goals.
• 😀 When hunting, choosing the right setup based on the area (dungeon or wide-area) can maximize efficiency. For wide-area hunting, skills with yellow (damage) and blue (stamina) colors are ideal.

Q & A

What makes the Mage profession the best choice for stamina in long hunting expeditions?

The Mage profession excels in stamina for long hunting expeditions due to its three powerful healing abilities, which have short cooldowns and restore significant health. Additionally, the Mage’s Enlightenment skill reduces cooldowns, enabling extended hunting without relying heavily on potions.

How does the Mage’s Enlightenment skill work, and what is its benefit?

Enlightenment activates with a 1% chance after a normal attack, reducing the cooldown of abilities by a substantial amount. After reaching level 400, the cooldown reduction can be up to 70%, allowing the Mage to use their skills more frequently and maintain longer hunting sessions.

Why is the Mage considered a good class for long-term leveling and hunting?

The Mage levels up faster than other classes due to its healing skills and quick ability leveling. Its combination of cooldown reduction and three healing abilities allows it to sustain itself for long periods of time, making it ideal for all-night hunting sessions.

What are the main advantages and disadvantages of using the Mage over other professions like Hunter or Dark Lancer?

The Mage’s advantages include faster leveling, better sustainability during long hunts due to its healing abilities, and the ability to reduce cooldowns for various skills. However, its primary disadvantage is lower damage compared to Hunter or Dark Lancer, although the Mage compensates with its ability to hunt indefinitely with reduced damage.

Why is Quick Healing recommended over Life Absorption for the Mage build?

Quick Healing is recommended because it has a much shorter cooldown, making it more effective for sustained healing during long hunts. Life Absorption, while useful, has a longer cooldown and doesn't trigger often enough to match Quick Healing’s efficiency.

What role does the Mage's combat staff play in the build, and who benefits from it?

The Mage’s combat staff is a key piece of gear that is widely used by long-range players such as bow and crossbow users. It provides additional healing and combat abilities, though melee users may find it less useful. It's ideal for maintaining health and supporting extended hunting sessions.

How can players reduce potion consumption during long hunting sessions?

Potion consumption can be minimized by choosing the right hunting ground and using a well-optimized Mage build that focuses on healing and cooldown reduction. The faster monsters are killed, the fewer potions are needed. Additionally, auto-run hunting can help reduce potion use during quests.

What is the optimal ability setup for the Mage to maximize healing and combat effectiveness?

To maximize healing and combat, players should prioritize Quick Healing, use abilities with the longest cooldowns first for optimal cooldown reduction, and mix spells like Power of Darkness for health recovery. For combat, a balance between defensive and offensive abilities is key.

How does the Mage's spell tag system work, and what are the best tags to use?

The Mage’s spell tags can be customized for different playstyles. Power of Darkness is used for health recovery, while Soul Exhaust can enhance combat gear. Players can mix and match these tags depending on the situation, with Power of Darkness being the best for sustain and Soul Exhaust boosting combat efficiency.

What are the benefits of using a red-colored shield and other buffs during wide-area hunts?

In wide-area hunts, a red-colored shield is recommended for better protection, as it provides stronger defense than a yellow shield. Additionally, buffs like Magic Research (blue) and Voltage Waves (red) help optimize combat, with the red color being preferred for driving monsters, while blue can be used for defense if needed.
