I'm currently lv.83 and I'm wondering where to go next with my skill builds, I have an e.wand 3. I have IS maxed, 5 on TS, 1 on Element Comp. 3 on Element Amp. and 1 on Seal. What should I max out next?

Why do you have 5 on Ts already? o_O My generic suggestion shaved: This is my advice: Skill build depends on funding. These are the builds, and in the skill order, I suggest: If you have E.Wand 3 and/or E.Wand 4, and massive funds: Max Ice Strike. Max Elemental Amplification. Max Booster. Max Thunder Spear. Max Seal. Max Partial Resistance. 1 Sp in Element Composition. If you have E.Wand 3/4 but have no funds: Max Ice Strike. 3 Elemental Amplification. Max Booster. Max Thunder Spear. Max Seal. Max Partial Resistance. Max Elemental Amplification. 1 Sp Element Composition. Your E.Wand already gives a nice boost so you shouldn't worry about getting the boost from Elemental Amplification. Even, if you do not have E.Wand, I still recommend more to get Thunder Spear instead of Element Composition because you should be aiming for E.Wand. You can switch the order of Thunder Spear and Seal based on your play style. If you plan to intensely grind to lvl 120, then going Seal first would be better. If you plan on doing bossing or questing or killing monsters doing big damage or etc, not intenesely grinding to lvl 120, then going Thunder Spear first should be better. You can replace 19 Sp in Partial Resistance with 19 Sp in Slow.

Another option is to skip both comp arrow (because it is replaced by cold beam with an ele wand) and thunderpspear (it is replaced by chain lighting) and using those points to max both slow and partial resistance. This probably will not hurt you because you rarely use single target attacks while training. Even with the 5 already in thunder spear, if you stop now you will still be able to max the other skills.

Hm, so I can't max all three skill moves TS, IS and element comp? :O

You can, but it's not worth it. Since you already have 5 into thunder spear, I'd max it or max none, to get partial resistance.

[quote] TraniumX : Hm, so I can't max all three skill moves TS, IS and element comp? :O [/quote] You can. However, you sacrifice other more useful skills to do so. Both Thunder Spear and Elemental Composition are single target skills. There is no need for more than one single target skill.

Finish up amp first - it'll increase your damage significantly. Alternatively, you can put a few points into booster, say 11 or however many you need to get to level 3, and then max amplification (what I did). After that, go with Thunder Spear seeing as how you already have 5 points into it. Max seal after that, then max out booster. After that you can go max slow if you want.
