Pass the Tissots!

I always knew that mages were the best class, and Tissot of Dep just goes to prove it. On January 18th, after nearly a year of being level 49, hit the big 5-0.

Even with all spells (all but Decay Potion, that is) in the game, 18 intelligence/18 constitution stats, 459 HP and 382 MP the journey to 50 was a hard one. Tissot died about six times at level 49, and more then he can count at 48!

So what is Tissot’s plan now that he has reached level 50 on a mage? Is he going to go for 52, or will he go for another 50 character? Neither, actually. Tissot’s current game plan is to get himself 20 million so he can get some better AC!

Where is Tissot going to find 20 million? In his secret hunt spots, of course! And where are these spots? “Anywhere with passive MOPs” Tissot comments. Just goes to show you that you don’t need big fish to make the catch of the day.

Tissot has a lot to say about spells. First of all, the only spell he is missing is Decay Potion, and that’s because prices are too high. For an example, if someone tells him 20k for something, he says 19k. If they say no, so does he. His least favorite spell is Cancel Magic. He even went so far as to say that cancel is “evil”…that’s very odd, for a mage! “I regret I learned some spells,” was his last comment. The reason for this is that Tissot is a bit clumsy and often hits the wrong key. That sounds familiar…oops.

Congratulations to Tissot who once again shows that mages rock (by the way, Tissot would like to point out that he's not a 'Freak Mage': a strength mage or charisma mage. Magic all the way!). In advice to the wee mages out there Tissot has two words: “Hunt safe.” And boy, is that good advice!

Pure mage is int/wis, just that soft AC made playing this almost impossible.

Nice stats, Tissot's HP and MP rules. I wonder if that is base HP or not (probably not)

I would have thought 18 wis 18 con... cuz 50+ can raise a point, but getting con/wis late doesn't affect your hp/mp as much as a spell power might from int..

And #7, spellbook costs are peanuts compared to a +7 armor. Or 8.

Heh gonna go to his linweb... Nordic, probably cause he is 18 con plus a few lvls above you.

Just wondering, if tissot needs that money, why doesnt he go to FI or do boss hunting? With his stats he can prolly handle a few bosses on his own or with a few friends!

-57 ac? is bad?
maybe for a knight or a elf not but for a mage?

knights have a atleast -5 base body armor, mages have -2 (most common)
same with most other stuff, so yes -57 is impressive

it doesnt matter who beat who to 50 and whatnot. it requires an interviewer from LC to be able to interview the person. i dont see yeyo out here complaining that he hasnt been contacted by an LC reporter, which would tell me they havent been able to set up an interview time yet...

Some other mages with good ac and open linweb, be sure to check more then once becouse some of them play knight and elf too, so they change stuff a lot. Also note that some use 2 sets, mr and ac.

Mage ac isnt that much harder then knight ac once the mage get a DSM or an ARobe and before the knight get over level 55, where they start to get very high bonus from dex/lvl.
The biggest reason for the low ac on avarage mages is, imo, the fact that they can't really hunt bosses, where most money come from. Also the fact that they don't need good ac, a mage with around -50 ac can hunt anywhere without much trouble, a knight will always use potions on most places, so they NEED always more.

but carol, do you see any mages use spells to level up around lvl 49 --;
ac is for defences toward physical attacks, and high level mage, prince, elf do need the protection from it. althrough mages and elves have the magic to cover that up
but the less heal magic does nothing for the prince(ss) class --;
poor thing o.O; alwayz the rich get richer and the poor get ... more poor =P

L, actually all mages i know who active play hunt with spells, or dont care about level.

The best way to level up now for a mage is OWL using tu. You won't get nearly as much xp on giran 4f, skt 4f or mlc 7f by TI tunnel. You might get a bit more xp playing like a knight on DVC or FVB, but this is boring and will make you use pots.
I dont know any mage who is lving and do like a knight, but maybe once in a while just to get a bit out of OWL, as its boring to do the same for 6 mounths 4-6 hours a day.

Neo, i didnt forget about the DEX/LVL thing. Thats why i said a knight get really better AC after 55.

A lvl 48 knight using +5 (dsm, pg, ib, homr, comr), +7 es and casting shield would have -52 ac, right?
A lvl 48 mage using the same and doing bless armor would have -54 ac.

The knight could use a KV or their quest helm, the mage could use an ELH, so the knight would get 2 extra ac and the mage only one.
This way both going for max AC possible for about the same cost, the mage would still have 1 better AC.

And BTW, i agree with TrendKill that Tissot doesnt prove mages are the best class. Actually he prove its the worse class... He took one year hunting safe (for me that means somewhat newbie mops) to get lvl 50...

Is that the best? Doesnt look good for me...

When a mage come hunting with spells and make it on 12 days like some knights did, then we will be able to say they are on top with knights, but still not best.
