Agreed. Though you could swap the mage book. High defence would be DFS. Epic mage setup would be an arcane SS. Fire cape is probably the best there as it has the +1 attack. Ummmm, if we knew your summoning we could advise a wolpertinger, or perhaps mage pots/extreme mage. Reacting impulsively and saying what's on your mind feels oh so good.. for a little, until you realize you just started WWIII.2672nd person to reach 2496 total.Thanks to Wicked for the awesome siggy :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torag's and Verac's helm give great defence stats and only your magic attack by a little. Any mage that is maging in Soul Wars or in Castle Wars should be wearing one. Ask any other experienced magician on this forum like Warrior5024 or Muggiwplhar, they'll tell you the same thing as what I am saying. And a Staff of Light can auto cast any ancient spell. With the set up I highly recommend (I use it all the time when maging meleers and rangers and I never lose to any meleer and rarely to a ranger) you'll have +98 magic attack and +211 slash defence. There is no no noticeable difference between +98 magic attack and +128 magic attack. So you might as well work on that slash defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warrior5024 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 If you still find yourself being hit even with a Barrows helm, Verac's Top is the best defence/magic attack there is, aside from Ahrims. EDIT: DutchPlease knows what he is talking about, as he is a very experienced Magician. The loss of Magic attack is greatly made up for by the defensive bonuses. So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obtaurian Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 The problem is your magic level, not necessarily your gear (though that needs some work, too).

EDIT: DutchPlease knows what he is talking about, as he is a very experienced Magician. The loss of Magic attack is greatly made up for by the defensive bonuses.I'm pretty sure Ahrim top + Verac skirt > Verac brassard + Ahrim bottom (both in magic offense and ranged defense). IMO, the perfect mage set up is (making sure you at least keep some ranged defense) Torag/Verac helmAhrim topAhrim bottomInfinity bootsFuryArcane spirit shieldOnyx (i)Staff of light (if on ancients)God cape or maybe Ardy cloak (+6 mage attack, and also nice prayer bonus). You might wanna wear dragon boots and fire cape if you plan on using claw specs or some other form of melee. A Guide to Chinning in Ape atoll: up to 325kxp/h!

SirIzenhime Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 but what about the 15% damage bonus, would you not take that into consideration over the master wands 10%?

Obtaurian Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 but what about the 15% damage bonus, would you not take that into consideration over the master wands 10%? All I attempted to do was provide the max mage attack bonus. I would definitely choose a SoL over a master wand, but the wand is still more accurate. To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

brunokiller Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I don't really think this guy is very wealthy. May I ask what spell you are using, and where in soul wars? If you are freezing people running up to your avatar, ice blitz with ~100 mage bonus should do fine. If you are trying to multi attack people at the obelisk, you should really get a barrage spell, burst sumpliy doesn't hit very high. Also, soul split is very nice if you have it.
