Well, this char's what I feel is the classic mage. No weapon attacks, no tricks - just all those favourite spells.

Since the spells are everything here, the stats I see as vital are:
• +4 to all skills;
• 300% cast speed;
• -25% energy cost (for relaxed FLAME SURGE spam).

The char came out to be versatile when it comes to items except for a few slots:

  1. AMMON'S MAGNEFICENCE x2 - I feel like the ring has been made just for this, I bet there's no better slot.
  2. STAFF OF THE COSMOS - perfect one for the build, gives everything you need, probably no better slot.
  3. APHRODITE'S FAVOR - Idk where else would you use that one if not here xD. My 100% preference here. No mind control! Still not vital for the build!
  4. ARCHMAGE'S CLASP - very efficient slot, surely one of the better ones. I prefer to use those, but these are not vital as well.
  • In a message below I will show the slots that I play with.

It's versatile when it comes to skills either. The core ones are FLAME SURGE and LIGHTNING BOLT, which make up the most damage output.

  • I really recommend you to try FREEZING BLAST, it's so very fun and flavour you won't believe it, especially in multiplayer.

Here I show my core skills with +5 to all. "Legendary hero" compatible with +4. There will plenty of SP to spend over the listed.

For the attributes I use:
• 25 points on HP (+1000) (better earlier);
• DEX to meet requirements;
• the rest on INT.

You can shift to FLAME SURGE spam as long as lvl 35 by getting:

  • 2x "occult" rings, preferably with +200% cast speed total bonus;
  • a "spellbound" (no less than -18% energy cost) amulet with a forced golden scarab;
  • a "hallowed" diadem;
  • stonebinders cuffs (no big deal spending some points in STR. 125 DEX you would need anyways);
  • "Touch of the fool" artifact.
