[(S14)Squintina]

curse of the mage lol. have gotten into some good ladder party's. highest i've made it is 65 when went with top guilds. but normally since my spouse isn't playing, either don't do ladder or only get to 20. been trying to get past 20 w the new eido skill lolz. even take a full party of healer alts with me.

with goddess blessing^. farmed gold to buy morph crystals for a SA etc as a free player. use the daily login gem coupons for new gems. none of my gear really has any gems at all besides my HoE with a couple superiors. been selling my gems for discounted prices to people for most of the yr+been playing. get some ppl who gift me vip every bit or casher items for cutting them so many deals.
mages are squishy in general tho... but ya, as can see could def use some gmuts >_>

That lvl 61 scion I mentioned is a mage with battle bear. You need to gem up more and consider looking at the ice tree. Get twilight blessing so you can tank. There is NO reason why a lvl 100 scion or lvl 60 eidolon cannot do the ladder rebirth quests. Check out (S14)Bluespark if you want.

ya going for crit def gems and some others. i have all the ice tree supports, always go for those, was pure ice mage when first started as mortal. had to grind by hand for many nights because i don't cash. had dual ulti angel wings till was 80 and only started working on soul once hit higher levels mostly. got aura when hit RB 80+, Gtitan same time.

still have the ladder quests from first time they rolled out the lv 25, 35 etc ones

had one alt healing me with the aoe and normal heal +spamming rezu for when i died, the other spamming curses. didn't get to cast rezu.
got twilight blessing for me and had my ice shield lv 5 on. tried to use ice crystal awakening to heal myself an become invulnerable and got debuffed by the knight for all my stuff.

FA RB quests again >_>

Kinda off topic but oh well..
Most stats come from gear, especially when you get them to +14, sperion, mages below level 80 have a hard time doing anything. After that its pretty easy for them, everyone on my server wants a meteor mage in their parties o.o
As soon as everyone is highlevel enough for purgatory gear and enchants them, their stats will be pretty decent. Not neccessary to get the esd equips, but enchanting the purple equips is much harder since supreme enchant crystals dont drop anywhere >_>

Your atk looks fine, you simply lack dmg reduction and def due to your level.
Just odd that you even had trouble as level 100 scion. Guess you either had no slayers or that you weren't able to enchant them.

I think its pretty easy with chambers of fate to make some quick coins now, even my level 40 alts make a nice profit there and they get killed all the time.
Should be able to buy soul prints / gmuts every now and then, problem is only that gmuts skyrocket in price.

most my gear is +7. ya slayer gear makes a huge difference. could barely solo SR nm as 100 scion, usually got owned if i tried to do the higher dungeons on NM after SR. doing it about the same now as a lv 55-60 eido as when i was scion tho. easier to do Exo because of the buffs. even with the buffs on NM couldn't kill bonecrusher dude or pride solo. had to get help for RB items. usually in tamalan helping people get gold badges with my alts when chamber of fate is open. haven't tried it once yet.
but ya, gmut prices did go up, +market is drying up&w a lot of people needing them they are drying up even quicker.
don't mean to stray off topic. just kinda wanna show its not the same for everyone/these things effect everyone/moderators aren't paid or heavy cashers etc etc. and there are people in my server who are still a lot further behind then me. as i'm sure many others.
