Starting character

What should i have as my starting character|||You'd probably get a more even responce in the comminity forum. But I'd say the best starting chars are Meteorbs, Blizzballers (both Sorcs) or Fishymancer (Necro - who's not on your poll somehow). They can all be pretty successful on a low budget. Everyone else comes in a distant 2nd place.

(I'm really curious who said Druid? IMHO they make lousy char's even when you have good gear)|||rofl i did forget necro btw is blizzballer the blizzard and fireball?|||its kinda hard to tell when there is frozen orb... :P btw u comin online mage?|||Quote:

Lucky for you that you didn't post this in the Druid forum... they would eat you! I have a Wind druid who is decked out pretty well and he's great. I'm waiting for a 3 socket Tomb Reaver with at least decent ED% to drop so that I can build a 4 frame Fury/Rabies werewolf. They are great and cool too. Those seem to be the two mainstream ones. Then comes the Summoner, Fireclaws Werebear, Mauler, Shockwave Bear, Fire Elemental Druid, etc.

Yes.|||Quote:








Yes.




Don't you think its kinda silly to only put 1 in mastery of cold and fire?|||Nope. Skill bonuses fully affect the masteries, synergies require hard points.

If you're not going to get more than maybe +10 to skills you might want to

put some more points into CM though, up to about lvl 17 including +skills.

FM is best kept at about the same level as the second fireball synergy.

For example, if you max fireball and meteor, keep firebolt and fire mastery

at about the same base lvl.|||If you want to see how masteries and synergies work -check this out. Synergies and Masteries Explained by PhatTrumpet.

Its a little more complicated than that, but its a good starting place I guess. It really depends on how much +skill gear you have. In order to maximize your damge you are basically balancing a two part equasion.|||Well i used Miladys-Knight's guide, should i not? I just looked in the sticky|||It's a great guide for blizzballers. You'll see the first respond that he got was someone telling him to use more than 1 pt in CM. It'd debatable. I will say that you want to get to a minimum of slvl 17 for CM. If you go a few points above that - that's fine too. For every dual tree sorc there is - you have have choose where to put your limited number of skill points. There just isn't enough points to go around. The more in CM, then the less you have in synergies, or the less you have in the fire tree.

If you stick sctrictly to the guide you will do fine though.
