I don't see any mage guide around, so I am going to make this to help out the new player. I will make this simple and sweet.

Stats point:
18 INTs
18 WIDs

Pros:
Mage is one and only class that have the nicest skill effect in this whole game. Unlike other MMORPG, IMO makes their Mage deal the Highest damage among the rest of the classes. Other than strong damage, mage do not really need pots at higher level.

Cons:
Though mage deal the highest damage, but they are also the one with the lowest HP, lowest invasion and lowest critical.

Skills

SkillsTree: you may refer to arlorha thread

You should have this at level 20:

Level 5:
Freezing Trap: level 2, i will explain later.
Heal: level 3, do i need to explain this? ;p
Shield: level 3, gives you addition 40HP

Level 10:
Firebolt: level 3, convert FlameShock to FireBolt only once you obtain FBIII.
Flare: level 3, a very good skill where there is no casting time.
Teleport: level 1, allow you to run away from PK.

Level 15:
Carnivalize: level 3, a must have skill that convert HP to MANA.

level 20:
Doom: level 1, you will get to see the awesome damage when you reach L20

Come to Icepoison vs Freezing Trap:

Though Icepoison is a very nice skill, but I think that Icepoison is a useless, unless you are running away from a group of mobs. In RVR, you won't walk into a group of players and cast Icepoison, you are most likely get yourself KILLED in the next seconds and in PVP, you need your target to be VERY near you in order for you to stop him from running.

Therefore freeze trap is the skill you are going to invest on, Low mana comsumption and freeze target from far.

According to my own experience, Icepoison can be broken when it is been attack.

Item you may want to invest on:

Staff that add +4/5 int
Old hat +1 int
Kamakee ring +18HP
Revan necklace +21HP
Expert magician robe +9HP
Boot of speed +5%
Fungiskin belt +10HP
Mittons +10 HP

As I do alot of PVP, so HP item are very important for me. So that's all for now.

I welcome any feedback :)

Im pretty sure you do good in Battle with mage as it sounds like you have ample experience. However I find this build to require a little bit more explanation. I noticed you went for the full mage force completly ignoring Con. So hoe do you survive with such low hp when being attacked?

Well it seems that Carnivalize is the bread and butter buff of this build. With all those health items and an 18 Wis theres ample MP synergy to continually cast the high hitting spells as well as recovery and protection needed to stay in the fight.

kill them before you take too much damage.

you get most hp from items anyway.

As you can see i have lots of HP item, 18 WIS with the highest amt of MP. all you have to do is keep up with the shield, heal, carnivalize and you will have no problem taking dmg.

Is Carnivalize really that usefull? I'm thinking about not getting it. Some feedback from more then one mage would be helpful.

Should you get Prayer of Protection when it is availible? If they both stack, then how does it work. If you have 40 shield and say 25 PoP and you take 15 damage, is teh 15 damage subtracted from BOTH shield and PoP or just one of the two.

I have not try that yet, but if you are a PVP mage, doom will be the first to get when you have reach level 20.

For Prayer of protection, it should be stackable, so damage will subtracte from one of the shield first, I will let you know once I have the skill point for it.

Maybe some higher lvl mage can clarify this for me :)
