Klarity's Battle Mage Guide
Battle mage's skills
Active skills :
Mana shield :
This is a great defensive skill, and since mages have a very small bit of defence i definitely reccomend maxing this one. It absorbs up to 30% of the damage taken and converts it 5hp:1MP at max level. Great skill.
PvE : 5/5
PvP : 5/5
Fire emblem :
This skill is great, it's very spammable with it's very low cooldown, and it does a lot of damage. This is one of the 2 best skills for PvE, with energy condensation it gets even better! For PvP this is good too, if you knock someone down and he doesn't roll. Use fire emblem, when he gets up he'll get hit lots of times. You can also use it for other ways, like using it > hoping it hits the enemy by chance and using blizzard on the enemy. In group PvP it hit's a lot and just owns. (especially gvg) Some people say you should keep this skill at level 1 or 3, because the mp cost get's way too high at 3+, especially for PvP. And the damage doesn't increase that much anyway from 1-5.
PvE : 5/5
PvP : 1/5 or 3/5 to save MP
Tornado :
This skill, isn't that good. It's damage is okay but it really doesn't do much. It makes the enemies fly way up high, but you can't combo them or anything so it's useless.
PvE : 2/5 for blizzard
PvP : 2/5 for blizzard
Cloud kill :
This skill is okay, if you have a lot of sp left, you can get this but otherwise it's fairly useless. Not that it's bad, but the other skills just aren't as good in comparison. The damage isn't that great, and the mobs die from poison before you're done. In PvP, if you miss, you're dead. The animation just takes way too long!
PvE : 0/5
PvP : 0/5 - slow
Magic missile :
This skill is pretty good, at maxed level it shoots 10 homing missiles, they all can hit individually. It's alright for PvE but not that good compared to Fire emblem and Blizzard. In PvP this shines, 10 homing missiles that can do a lot of damage, if it hits one target he's dead.
PvE : 0/5 I reccomend, but you could get more for bosses
PvP : 5/5 Great skill!
Blizzard :
This skill is probably the best of a Battle Mage, it's damage is insane and it can freeze! It's a pretty big AoE and it can hit up to 10mobs. If you dont max this you're crazy!
PvP : 5/5
PvE : 5/5
Passive skills :
Battle hit :
Nobody likes this skill, for good reason. It says it knocks the enemy back, but it doesn't knockback till level 3. This skill is also VERY slow, the enemy can hit you before you hit it with this. It ruins combo's by using a lame melee attack instead of X. For PvP you get hit by a combo and die before using it. Get this to 3/3, because otherwise every time you DO use it accidentily, you have to dash away to use a spell. With 3/3 it knocks back and you can cast again.
PvE : 3/3 for staff mastery/knockdown
PvP : 3/3 for staff mastery/knockdown
Staff mastery :
Must get skill, it adds 100 magic attack, it might not be much at higher levels but every piece of extra damage is good! Can always re-skill :O
PvE : 5/5
PvP : 5/5
Energy condensation :
Max this skill, it makes the already great skill fire emblem even better. It hits every 0.25 seconds with this skill. max.
PvE : 5/5
PvP : 5/5
Deadly poison :
Deadly poison really isn't a good skill. Don't get this ><
PvE : 0/5

The term "knock back" actually refers to the monster "flinching," and from what I've seen, the monster flinches when using battle hit, even at level 1. I just thought I might point that out. At level one, it can hit the monster(s) and make them flinch, but the only downside is that the hits are slow, as it is only one hit. Therefore, at level one, it won't do you much good.
I'm having a hard time choosing between Acrolite and Battle Mage. :|
Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages of a Battle Mage and Acrolite?.
Thanks.
