I'm bored and curious so let's talk some nerd stuff! how you guys build your Black Mages to make them (since Savin sure as hell won't push buttons our way to get OP without some metagaming) powerful?
I tend to go:
1) Character Building: Wyld Elf+Black Mage+Arcanist for a sweet +3 to Willpower at the start.
2) Gear: Mathiha's Titanic Hat, Cloak of Winters, Kiyoko's Amulet (At least till she's free, then Magatama, wish there was another necklace that boosted spellpower in the game), Tiran Vestments, Metal Wand, Bull Totem, Reagent Pouch, Guldring with Wizard Ring, Linen Tunic, Latex Boxers, Arm Guards and last but not least Winged Sabatons (Trying to have the biggest spellpower I can from items.)
3) Spells: Bolstering Dance for my At-Will (for some reason this is STILL useful AF and the shitty A.I that doesn't know how to heal only boosts it further), Dischord and Leaping Bolts for my Recharge Spells, Grand Finale for the Encounter one and Banishment for the Ultimate.
