Sadly SUperior implements cant be used in pairs since need to cast through them to get the bonus otherwise it would make the offhand implement... an accurate Tome of I think only one worth would be the one for time stop since can be used to cast this spell to make 3 summons with only one minor action.

 

[Minifig]

Accurate could be an idea but would lower 4 damage (for psichic spells that are 2 of the at will ones) and 2 range for spells that usually helps

For only a +1 to hit

Accurate Staff with the Writhing Vine Weapon +6..

When you immobilize a target with a melee attack using this weapon the target grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn.

It also grants +1d6 attack rolls, damage rolls, and 1d6 on crits.

Seriously.. You can find some REALLY nice staffs.

It's worth looking around.

I'm just saying .. Tome of Readiness may not be the best thing to grab.

 

[mozartprado]

So far the tunings made him this way. With the Tome power to be used only to cast the tomebound encounter since it as I understood need to be improved with the tome (even that I think Conjuration spells cant) to get the party version of the temp HP boost.

And some Extra Tomes to carry just to be funny cause he would only wield the time stop one, since this one actually helps, at least when want to summon the army or to qualify to use the tomebound spell at times one wouldnt need the army.

Accurate Staff with the Writhing Vine Weapon +6..

Couldnt find this staff, its from new books?

and if need imobilyze would need a serious change in build so would need an awesome bonus to justify since no spell in this build favour imobilizition

 

[mozartprado]

BTW weapon focus staff would give damage bonus to spells? this one I thout would benefit only weapon powers...

Thats why I thout would need to get versatile Staff/Staff bonus to get the +3 to hit when use spells and when actually hit with the staff.

If weapon focus would work this would be worth trading Stoking with Fire for it for sure... +3 damage at all spells in exchange for a +2 sometimes is quite a bargain.

But I think its just for weapon damages.

 

[mozartprado]

Other change: For the Ancient Arcanist powers... The Sigils from Artificer would improve the Staff (the implement that is actually used to cast spells with +10+3(Con) Regained HPs for bloodied ally "Life-SHock Sigil" and +1d8+3(Con) Fire damage "Hellfire Sigil" quite nice adds for the build since would give any attack spell a ROLL for FIRE giving all the feat bonuses for each attack... and heal the bloodied ally that would be protecting the wizzard with theyr lives, Summoned creatures have bloodied status? this way could even heal the besats of burden... but I think they dont have that.

 

[DracoSuave]

BTW weapon focus staff would give damage bonus to spells? this one I thout would benefit only weapon powers...

It used to work so that you could use it with implement attacks... that got updated very recently, but it's okay because you can take Implement Focus in staffs and forget all those elemental shinanegans.

Thats why I thout would need to get versatile Staff/Staff bonus to get the +3 to hit when use spells and when actually hit with the staff.

Which has nothing to do with Weapon or Implement Focus. Versatile Expertise gives you a weapon AND an implement type, and then gives you the bonus to hit with ALL attacks from either.

Yeah, it's some good stuff.

More importantly, the difference between hitting with your powers, and melee basic attack is -10 to hit because of your lack of strength. +3 to hit ain't gonna make hitting things with your stick a viable thing to do at any stage of the game.

If weapon focus would work this would be worth trading Stoking with Fire for it for sure... +3 damage at all spells in exchange for a +2 sometimes is quite a bargain.

But I think its just for weapon damages.

Implement Focus: Staff. That solves your problems, and dumps the necessity to have fire damage on everything just to satisfy using bad feats. And again, if you're caring about melee basic attack at -10 to hit, yer doin it wrong.

That said, the switch to using tomes instead of orbs is a good one. Stocking up on all the tomes you can will give you TONS of options for daily and utility powers. I approve of this option.

 

[mozartprado]

Ok then staff focus would go in place of the astral fire damage, wich is good since gives damage for all implement spells.

but yet need the spell to be fire since other feats give 5 ongoing damage, +6 fire damage if target already have fire damage, +2 fire damage after hit with fire spell for 2 rounds, ignore fire immunity by making it fire resistance 5 and getting +5 if target have any fire res and having fire with the at will spell also gives one more damage from riposte.

The bonus to Weapon Staff is only for opportinity attacks... but its a feature that we dont need to care.

Would still take versatile version of expertise since give one free bonus for anther implement in this case leave at Tomes just to use in case lose the staff but keep the tome for any reason.

wich would be a good target for any monster that could since removing the staff would lower the damages etc

 

[mozartprado]

The other stuff I got right?

Like the starting spell for an encounter that would be Chain Lightining since it target so many mobs that can make an awesome start + since would make rolls for attack so many times is quite easy that it makes a critical that would increase the damage (for this target that rolled the crit or another target instead with explosive spellcasting, this way directing the minion crits for more suitable targets) and would also take this spell back to use at round 2 with epic recovery.

Then after a dancing bolt at round 2(or 3 if a crit came at round 1)

The round 3/4 we can make the Tomebound to build some temporary HP for party (this could be done before but would not be so wise even if would give better income of temp HP)

With this spell I think we can make with a party of 5 chars, not even counting if a monster enters the area of effect to help, 15 Temporary HP for the cost of 3 damage at each party member for each round its active (if they can at least move close to the conjuration once a round), wich would build 30 stackable temp HP for the cost of 6 damage at each party member, again if a monster enters the effect it would give 3 Temp HP for each party member for each round it enters this effect.

for round 4/5 we already used up all encounter spells and can start making the damage from the at wills, making a flying horde and then a chilling cloud and repeating the process untill a target decide to attack the mage so both spells would be recasted freely and we can cast ilusory ambush at the targets already affected with the other 2 ripostes, at this time the mage would be acting like a defender trying to be targeted for any attack the oponents can make, since each attack they do to him would give him free casts of the at wills.

The daily ones we could just add into this strategy with the minor actions each round.

Round 1 Time Stop to get 3 minor actions +1 ring of time to get a 4th and 2 Balor summons using Storm Spell to be able to cast the second one and the action point to trigger arcane mastey so can summon the 3rd (at round 2) using 2 of the 4 minor actions we made so we can cast the Hellfire Sigil so the staff would become the ultimate weapon making each attack have +1d8+3(Con) fire damage and stoneskin.

Round 2

Summon the Stormstone Fury (and the last Balor if already had a milestone so the ring could give a free minor each round)

Round 3

Marilith or Marilith and Stormstone (if had to call the çast Balor at round 2)

Round 4 (Other bonus here is that the summons also can take the temp HP from the tomebound since they are ally, but wouldnt be smart to make they move since they need to be left with no orders so they attack without orders, but if they do they also give more temp HPs for everyone and Marilith at least shifts a lot so this one would do this some times with a little luck)

The last summon or Life Shock Sigil and Blur

Round 5 and after just keep this minor for Mystical debris that if we wouldnt be burning the daily ones we would be casting all time since round 1 with the minor actions

With the summons he have to be very smart to keep his monsters in control since they will target even party members if they have no enemy to attack, and the Balors would attack the Mage even if have enemy arround if the Mage stick close to them (but summons can come at a distance of 10, 12 with the staff so the mage can manage to leave them a but far so he wont have trouble), but his 5 monsters plus his 4 ally can make an awesome epic battleground fight.

With this start the mage would be doin a nice damage , I think strikers do better but still a good damage, he would be defending since he would be tryin to be in the front line so he could be targeted with as many attacks from the enemy (at this time the leader can focus healing him) he would be helping the leader heal since each time the Life Shock Sigil trigger he would heal a party member a bit...

The party would give some nice pluses on this if he have an artificer leader he could have a +1 AC with his Resistive Formula and of course he would have other bonuses but I wont try picturing all but he would have some pluses from each party member for sure.

 

[DracoSuave]

Honestly?

As a wizard you should be focused on the idea of control, on preventing enemies from doing things you don't like.

AoE damage is something controllers can do well, but if you're looking for a spell-slinging damage-beast that specializes in piling on the massive damage...

..you honestly want a sorcerer. They're the kings of that role without controversy.
