Hi. I am making a mage, and I'm planning this to be my greatest dueler so far. I hope it turns out far far better than my BvC or Lightning Sorc or Windy combined. :thumbsup:

I currently have a lvl 80 Paly with all empty stats + skill points, but his entire gear + charms are all in my stash. Nothing is required for me to buy anything. I am planning to get this guy to lvl 90. Will settle for nothing less.
Equipment
Mage Enigma
2x SoJ's
29 Mara
5/5 die HoZ
22/20 die Griffons
40 HoTo
Spider
Bloodfist
Imp Shank
CtA / Spirit
Anni / PTorch / 9x PCombs / 10x SC's of Vita
I will hit 85% fhr, and 75% fcr with decent life.
Stats
None in str.
Enough till just max block with HoZ.
Rest vit.
Skills
NO CLUE. HELP NEEDED.
At lvl 90, I will have 101 skill points. I need 14 points into prereq's (every skills that doesn't have to do with either foh, hammer, or their synergies and conviction, so holy shield will be a prereq as well) if I don't put any into Vigor. If I do put some points in Vigor, I will need 17 points in prereq's. If I want Meditation, that will be 18 prereq's.
Let's say that I decide to pump some into Vigor, which I probably will have to anyway for Hammer. 101 - 17 = 84. This grants me 84 points in pure mage skills such as Conviction, FoH, Blessed Aim, Concentration, etc. Is Meditation neccessary? If it is, it will allow me 83 skills.
I realize that if you're short on skill points, synergies give you more damage than the skill itself, granted you have enough +skills.
With my setup, I get +29 PCombat and +18 Offensive Aura bonuses. It will give me lvl 19 Concentration, and lvl 25 Conviction with 7 points in Conviction.
So, out of the 84 skills, 7 is a must so it becomes 77.
I was trying to use that v/t optimization table in the paly guides + faq's sticky, but I couldn't calculate if I was willing to sacrifice more points into FoH damage than that guy listed. According to the chart, he was using 30 points in total for foh + holy shock both.
So, 77, w/o Meditation, I can put into points such as;
20 - Hammer
20 - FoH
20 - Vigor
17 - Holy Shock
Obviously this would be a bad plan, but it is an example. What points should I put the valuable 77 points in? Could anyone back up their answer with actual math?
I'm thinking it will be something like;
17 - Hammer
15 - FoH
20 - Holy Shock
20 - Vigor
5 - Blessed Aim
I was hoping for either foh k/hammer k of either 7/7 or 6/8 damage. Is this possible?
Plz plz plz I reallllllly need help with this Mage's skill distribution. Everyone I ask tells me different things... :(
