Remedy's Battle Mage Guide There hasn't been a Battle Mage guide yet, so I figured I would write one. Keep in mind that this is the first guide I've done, so don't expect it to be perfect, but feel free to message me with any suggestions. This guide will cover the new job known as Battle Mage. In this guide, you will find information on the storyline of Battle Mages and the Resistance as a whole. You will also find SP guides, and post-Big Bang training locations. What is a Battle Mage? A Battle Mage is one of the classes that is part of the 'Resistance.' The Resistance is a new race of classes similar to the Heroes or Explorers. The story is that The Black Wings took over the town of Edelstein in their quest to revive the Black Mage. A small number of people banded together to rebel against the Black Wings and their plans. Thus, the Resistance was born. The Resistance currently consists of three classes: Mechanic, Wild Hunter, and of course, Battle Mage. Battle Mages are a Magician class, using staffs (not wands) to fight. Their attacks mainly consist of hitting monsters with their staffs, and buffing themselves with various Auras. Battle Mage Skills This is a list of all of the Battle Mage skills. The statistics on all of the skills was inaccurate on all of the sources that I was able to find. Once I get some accurate info, I'll update this. First Job Triple Blow (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to attack up to six monsters three times with your staff. Dark Aura (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to cast an Aura that gives up to 10% extra damage. Finishing Blow (Max Level 10): Hit the skill key following Triple Blow or any enhanced version to deal a finishing blow to a monster. Teleport (Max Level 15): Hit the key to teleport a certain distance. Just like any other mage's teleport. Second Job Quad Blow (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to strike up to six monsters with your staff four times. Requires Triple Blow level 20. Dark Chains (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to pull up to six monsters closer to you with chains. May stun the enemy, as well. Blue Aura (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to cast an Aura which allows you to absorb some of your party's damage. Yellow Aura (Max Level 20): Hit the skill key to cast an Aura which increases Moving Speed and Attacking Speed. Blood Drain (Max Level 20): This buff allows you to recover some of the damage you deal as HP. Staff Booster (Max Level 20): This buff increases the attacking speed of your staff. Magic Mastery (Max Level 20): Increases the mastery and critical rate(?) of your staff. Third Job Death Blow (Max Level 30): Hit the skill key to attack up to six monsters five times. Requires Quad Blow level 20. Advanced Blue Aura (Max Level 20): Absorbs more damage than Blue Aura, and increases the party's defense. Requires Blue Aura level 20. Dark Lightning (Max Level 30): Hit the skill key to create a field of lightning that damages monsters. Conversion (Max Level 20): Use a large amount of MP to

It IS a nice guide. I'd suggest adding the stacking of the auras thing. you can only stack em if they are advanced, correct? add a little more info on the skills. %'s would be nice. explain each build a little more. Detail is needed in a guide like this considering this is GMS, and most people know little about BttMages atm.

Really Helpful, just a typo I found was that you wrote Triple Swing instead of Triple Blow on the Finishing Blow description.

massownage Thanks for pointing out the typo! legendoff The Auras don't stack even if they are advanced. And I haven't been able to find any accurate %'s for the skills. If you have a link, I'd appreciate it. There isn't a whole lot of accurate info right now, since they just recently came out. I can easily find the %'s from earlier versions of KMST, but those wouldn't be much help. All I can really do is wait until I have some of these skills maxed, or wait for input from other Battle Mages.

thesolemnone Battle Mages aren't really useful EVERYWHERE. The Auras are limited, beccause the people who want the effect have to stay close to the Battle Mage. DarkCobra Thanks! Good to hear!

I'm curious why blood drain not worth maxing?

My Characters: CandyClock - 81 Bera Evan 7th Growth

Remedy 07/29/10 + PM | QUOTE | PERMALINK | REPORT

Because it doesn't give you any other skills in later jobs. The Advanced Auras are worth maxing. Plus it's not like Arans where you're doing massive damage to more than 6 mobs at a time, you can only hit 6, and your range is a bit more limited as a Battle Mage, so it's a bit tougher to get large mobs together. Plus battle mages have a large amount of HP, so dying usually isn't much of an issue.
