Subclass rebalance from a phantom mage's point of view

It has happened! Subclass rebalance has happened! I was so excited I almost forgot about my blog. I checked out my terror knight for all of two seconds before I hopped onto my archmage to try out my phantom mage <3. I love my phantom mage. I've always loved phantom mage but this is a new kind of love.


I-i can finally do damage >.<. I was fully prepared to main a phantom mage and do no damage ever (but I didn't care because I loved the class). Now I feel like I can almost keep up with my archmage's damage even though my damage is still a lot lower.

Sorry about the horrible quality video (idk how to record a higher quality one)- my damage went up a lot after the rebalance as you can see from the video I'm hitting 300k crits WITH MY CRAPPY VINTOR GLOVES (they are only 27% magic-crit damage). Once I get my degos gear on my damage will jump again.

The above video is not mine it is some other chick, but she is using her degos set so as you can see- my damage isn't that far off. @.@ I should probably rep farm so I can get those last two degos accessories...

Oh you clicked on the read more because you wanted my phantom mage build?

:) yes I did invest 40 of my skill points into that magic % skill but from what my degos gear looks like it made sense to me. My gear is going to be magic damage based now (well not now but when I wear my degos set it will be) so that 40% on top of the degos % will get me hopefully a lot of magic. I might drop the magic skill later for a 3rd attack but for now I am happy with this build.
