In mage staking you dont usually wear armour, or weapons, its called mage boxing, with only mage turned on and no movement. This the most common type of stake, most serial mage stakers "cant be bothered" to buy tons of mage equipment. Sometimes people use masterwands or ancient staffs, but not very often. In no movement just use shadow barrage and blood barrage/blitz (cant use ice barrage in no movement fights). Shadow barrage at the start as its slightly more accurate than the blood spells, then the blood spells as you begin to get hit. I also use blitz on occasions as its more accurate than barrage, and has won me quite a few stakes. In movement stakes be cafeful of X loggers, and people who will freeze you and stand on you, making you unable to cast spells on them, and them able to cast on you. My advice to you is to always stake movement off. Good luck :wink:
