Overview

Sages are a PvP-oriented class with the role of caster/anti-Mage. They do not have the offensive abilities of a Wizard, but are a slightly buffed version of Mage with their Free Casting. Sages shine in their defensive abilities, with many builds centered around Magnetic Earth. Dispell is also a popular and sought-after spell which is useful for removing buffs from the enemy. Many of their skills can only realistically be used in PvP, making PvM quite difficult, particularly for VIT/DEX builds that have difficulty solo levelling. Battle sages are a 'for fun' build which can become a powerful leveling build only if matched with a Soul Linker (see Sage Spirit for more info).

Build examples

Leveling Build
STR:	1
AGI:	1 (base)
VIT:	60-80
INT:	80-99 (base)
DEX:	50-80(base)
LUK:	1

==== Sages start off with decent Magic AoEs with Thunderstorm and Fireball, and can pick off single targets with bolt spells. Unfortunately towards later levels (after about 85) it may not be possible to one shot monsters anymore with the bolt skills.====

Aspd + SoulLink
STR:	1
AGI:	80-99(base)
VIT:	50-80
INT:	80-99(base)
DEX:	20-40 (base)
LUK:	1

==== This build is focused in aspd with soul link, to improve the auto-cast of skills, always have a linker at hand and prepare to have some fun. ====

Hocus Pocus
STR:	1
AGI:	1 (base)
VIT:	70
INT:	130 (base)
DEX:	70(base)
LUK:	9

====The build aims at the most INT possible for a good regen rate, since casting HP repeatedly can drain the SP considerably. It also doesn't go for maxed DEX, but focuses more on VIT instead to avoid death by random Hocus-pocus skills. ====
