Hello all! Because of the new added skill (Magic Mastery), Archmage FP have to sacrifice a few SP from another skill to max it and since we can only gain 243 SP between lvl120-200, I'm not quite sure which skill to partially abandon. I would like to know what do you guys think about these 2 builds and which one should I go for and why? Also, if u have any idea of other build feel free to post. Thank you ! Skill build A (screw ultimate!) Magic Mastery 10/10 Maple Warrior 30/30 Big Bang 30/30 Mana Reflexion 30/30 Fire Demon 30/30 Infinity 30/30 Ifrit 30/30 Paralyze 30/30 Meteor Shower 18/30 Hero's Will 5/5 Skill build B (Fire for live!) Magic Mastery 10 Maple Warrior30 Big Bang 30 Mana Reflexion 30 Fire Demon 30 Infinity 30 Ifrit 30 Paralyze 18/30 Meteor Shower 30 Hero's Will 5

Are you serious? Drop points out of Mana Reflection.

Assuming that's the order you max things, you won't get very far with this build. Most people start maxing Paralyze after Mastery. Mana Reflection is pointless.

IF that's the case, definitely drop Mana Reflection.

If you're starting as a 120 F/P Archmage: Archmages are no longer a training based class so the new build should reflect this. 1. Big Bang sucks as a main training skill when compared to Paralyze. 1 point is most likely all you'll need in the early 4th stage. 2. Fire Demon/Ifrit before Paralyze? =/ 3. Drop Mana Reflection. Main build I've seen post BB: 1 Paralyze, 1 Big Bang, 1 Meteor Max Paralyze Max Magic Mastery From here, you can choose whether or not to be a primary bossing build: Max Infinity Fire Demon, Ifrit Max Big Bang If you're 200: Just drop Mana Reflection.

The main reason it's okay to leave it at 1 until Paralyze/some other stuff is maxed is because it already does 242%x5 damage at level 1 and that only goes up to 300%x5.

Build B does not sound like a good idea. I'll try to make it simple: Essential Skills: Paralyze, Magic Mastery, Infinity, MW Useful but not essential: Meteor, Ifrit, Big Bang, Fire Demon Not great: All else this is just my honest opinion though
