I. Introduction
Well, seeing as there were no ice/lit wizard guides in this section, I decided to make a quick one myself. This particular skill build utilizes the unique skills of ice/lit mages to help the party out as much as possible

II. Skill Build

I'm assuming that you have this build up to level 30:

1 Energy Bolt
20 Magic Claw
20 Magic Guard
16 MP Recovery
10 Max MP

Moving on... once you job advance to an Ice/Lightening Mage, your skill build should be something like this:

Level 30: 1 TELEPORT
Level 31: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 32: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 33: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 34: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 35: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 36: -SAVE 3 POINTS-
Level 37: 6 COLD BEAM (Level 21 Cold Beam)
Level 38: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 39: 3 COLD BEAM
Level 40: 3 COLD BEAM (Cold Beam is now mastered)
Level 41: 3 MP EATER (Pre-requisite to Meditatation)
Level 42: 3 MEDITATION
Level 43: 3 MEDITATION
Level 44: 3 MEDITATION
Level 45: 3 MEDITATION
Level 46: 3 MEDITATION
Level 47: 3 MEDITATION
Level 48: 2 MEDITATION, 1 THUNDERBOLT (Meditation is now mastered)
Level 49: 3 THUNDERBOLT
Level 50: 3 THUNDERBOLT
Level 51: 3 THUNDERBOLT
Level 52: 3 THUNDERBOLT
Level 53: 2 THUNDERBOLT -SAVE 1 POINT-
Level 54: -SAVE 3 POINTS-
Level 55: -SAVE 3 POINTS-
Level 56: -SAVE 3 POINTS-
Level 57: 13 THUNDERBOLT (Level 28)
Level 58: 2 THUNDERBOLT 1 TELEPORT (Thunderbolt is now mastered)
Level 59: 3 TELEPORT
Level 60: 3 TELEPORT
Level 61: 3 TELEPORT
Level 62: 3 TELEPORT
Level 63: 3 TELEPORT
Level 64: 3 TELEPORT (Teleport is now mastered)
Level 65: 3 SLOW
Level 66: 3 SLOW
Level 67: 3 SLOW
Level 68: 3 SLOW
Level 69: 3 SLOW
Level 70: 3 SLOW (Slow is level 18)

First of all, you save 13 points in Thunderbolt because otherwise, the skill would cost 40 to cast, while not doing that much more damage. I am taking into consideration that most mages at that level are usually not rich enough to afford putting all the skill points into Thunderbolt. However, you may choose to just keep going or put points in after only saving 4/7/10 points.

Because MP Eater is a useless skill (Why not just use potions?), I find it more convenient for the party to have Slow, which is quite useful when taking down stronger monsters.

At the end, your skill book should look something like this:
30 Cold Beam
30 Thunderbolt
20 Teleport
20 Meditation
18 Slow
3 MP Eater

Damnit, Jessica! Stop spamming my topic.

sorry but i heard ppl saying that ice mages get weak when they reach lvl 40-50
is that right?

Funge

Not really. Levels 40-50 is when they start getting some damage, but yes, other classes (except for clerics) will start to get stronger than them at around level 50.

flamer4ever

then that mean mages at that lvl will be the weakest class (except for clerics)

Funge

Pretty much. Fire mages, however, will still be able t o "compete" with the other classes for a few more levels after, because their damage rate is a bit higher

flamer4ever

ok but when they will return thier powerfull damage?

Funge

? They never get stronger than other classes after, but they start gaining more damage at about level 80-90?

ZeroBlade

Nice guide Funge

Anyways, Mages are NOT WEAK depending on how u look at it.
Its the inability to deal massive amounts of damage to a SINGLE enemy
is the reason why other classes say "OMG MAGES SO WEAK! PH33R MY SIN!"

Ice Strike/Fire Explosion is yes, indeed, weak in the above said scenrio. But
the ability to deal damage to 6 enemies at once usually does equal the same
amount of a, lets say, sin using copycat and attacking a single monster.

At lvl85 a Fire Mage with max Explosion will hit about 5000k damage to
a monster weak to fire. Now times 5000k by 6 monsters and u have
30,000k damage popping up on screen.

Is THAT WEAK?

No of course not.
People like to see high numbers constantly and always forget that thing
called BASIC MATH.

./rant over (or now)
