I'm going to try out this build now, but I had a quick question.

SKILLS:
Blessed Aim: 5-10
Fist of the Heavens: 15-20
Holy Shock: 10-15
Holy Shield: 1-5

With these skills, which should I go for first? Since all these are ranges, is there one that is more important than the other?

Also, that complete list of skills to get:

SKILLS:
Blessed Hammer: 15
Blessed Aim: 5-10
Concentration: 20
Vigor: 10
Fist of the Heavens: 15-20
Holy Shock: 10-15
Conviction: 2+
Holy Shield: 1-5
Pre-requirements: 15
Salvation: 1 (If you clan to use your Mage for Team Duels)
Meditation: 1

Is that the actual order I should get the skills or is there a certain order I should follow?

I worked on maxing Hammer and its synergies first, as it's the best skill to level with.

Then I worried about FoH and whatnot.

Hammers first than as u are about to finish them move toward foh cuz its ur aggressive tactic skill

re-opened; trash was canned. This should be open due to the complexity and the explanations arent enuff since this build varies in a different way than v/t and much harder to understand than v/t, although i find playing a v/t more difficult

Wow... I'm the exact opposite XD. V/t's are ez for me. Mages are hard :(. It's probably because im not trained in aiming those sexy hammers of pulverization yet.

Shift+click so hard for me! :(

my problem is all the shortcuts you need to set and have it set up nicely so that you can charge hammer charge hammer or charge foh efectively...i think if i remember correctly my shortcust are as follow in order (ie. f1, f2, f3)

Charge, Hammer, Tele, Holy Shield, Concentration, conviction, then my BO's

when i need foh i switch out hammers and put foh although it sucks when i need to switch fast

wow this is so dead. Anyway it doesnt matter becuase using hot keys is the way to go i have mine set sequential on the F keys and i can even play by scrolling my mouse wheel which is pretty sweet.

i tried to play using the mouse wheel but was to hard, i guess ill just have to mess around with it till something good happens

well you don't HAVE to use the f1,f2,f3. I use the numberpad and find it much easier to manipulate. :D

How is the numpad easier?

Unless you use a lefthanded mouse..

Smiters Pwn
 

I have a smiter/charge only lvl 66 but i can pwn lvl 88 barbs pali's assas necros i find the guide zons hard but usually i can kill

ASSASSINS SUCK SHIT!!!!!! they might as well commit suicide. i just started a pali hes only lvl 66 but i can kill any assas necro or barb. i'd say barbs are best against necros b/c if they bonewall usually theyll stand on the other side
so i can ww rite to them and if that doesnt do it then just berserk there ass to china

I will berserk your ass to china!

druids suck against pali if u have good smiter or hammerdin u can pwn anything. i tried a weird mix of smite/hammer. it wasnt to bad.

Heh.... I saw lvl 66 and thought DAMN HOW THAT GONNA PK A 70.

Fucking wow.

Hammerdins can kill everything but they are pure bore. Pure smiters are bore too. I made one of these mages when I was super bored one day. I quite frankly hated it. I'm a big fan of the hybrid classes. Got 2 v/t's one smite strong and one foh strong, but this just didn't cut it.

VanBasroil went from Mage ----> v/T and I didn't regret it one bit.

Even stripped my mele barb (LOLMELEEDUELZ)

i know this thread is old but could it get stickied? it was almost lost and this was by far my favorite build ive ever played with.

Wow nice find I really want to make my pally sweet again.
