Now I'm skeptical about the rings

I know the magical adventurer ring is the best for mages right now, but in the KMS patch mages will be getting critical. So, now I'm not sure whether to get the critical ring or the magical ring. Discuss.

Just get what you were planning on getting in the first place - the ring will work in conjunction with the new formula either way. EDIT: It won't kill you to get the ring you prefer... it's just a bonus add-on for your character.

I was going to get the Critical Ring anyways. It's not really a big deal.

I thought the instant kill effect was pretty cool, it seemed useful at times. But now with the new revamp, isn't 5 m.att kinda like having 5 more attack on your work glove? So the extra magic is more useful than it was previously. I don't know much about criticals so I can't really say anything on that.

5matt = 5 int. Not much boost, and even after it won't be that significant. Criticals, on the other hand, are much more useful, especially since we're probably going to be using Big Bang if the balance patch doesn't change, thats 6 hits a monster, times 6 monsters. Thats a very high percent of critting, offsetting the loss of 4 matt. Crit ring also has 80 more health, waaaaay more useful than 80 mp.

The new revamp will make matk work like watk. I'd get the magic ring if I were you.

But yes, m.att will function a lot more like w.att in the revamp, which effectively makes mages pretty darn good. In fact, I/L's will become a somewhat bossing mage with the revamp. Above - Teleport also got a new animation! (or maybe thats when you add points into tele mastery..).

In the new patch m.att is treated exactly the same as weapon attack. formula: WeaponMultiplier* (MainStat+SecondaryStat)*WeaponOrMagicAttack/100

[/quote] wouldnt f/ps be a little better at bossing tha i/l's? last time i checked paralyze was stronger and its range was being increased. not saying i support f/ps more than i/ls though. do i/ls have something they're gaining from the patch that i missed?

[/quote] It's 5% base, I think. Bishops get an additional 50?% critical rate and I/L Arch Mages get 15% additional critical when using Chain Lightning.
