Hi there, i'm fairly new using the AM class, and i don't know what i should build him for, should i go full heals, damage or DoTs/HoTs?

I want to maximize my efficiency with this class, so any pro tips would be more than welcome :D

Damage, mate, forget about healing, only damage.
Make this
Not an IMBA - Archmage build
and you'll see how your skill raises and all Destros around becomes pwnd hard without any chance to defend or even hit you.

I'll try this and see how it comes out, thanks XD

He is sadly trying to further his agenda, dont mind him.

If you are going for healing, i would recommend http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=am; ... :0:0:0:You have an extra point to spare, just fish for wild healing procs with group heal and focus on maintaing key targets up with funnel essence and boon.

If you wanna go damage, i would rather run this http://waronlinebuilder.org/#career=am; ... 2:;0:0:0:0:

Its mostly a solo spec so being able to debuff the resistances to your damage is a plus on 1vs1.

Mate, This is absolutely true DPS Overpowered spec.
There is no joking or something like that.

How to pwn with this spec: place 4 DOTs at target and if someone got close to you - place a pool from 1 st tree and start running
as a healer AM is really weak in comparsion with the RP or WP. but as 1v1 DPS AM is strongest class in the entire game

I'll repeat: no joking.
Kidding on noobs is not for me.

As for DPS spec placed by bloodi
Resist debuff is OK, ut only at T4. Cos at current lvlcap resist are not a problem, not even a half of problem, not even a quarter of problem, not even even.
But some good melee can make your ass pain here - cos you didn't have good armor too.
So trust to someone, who actually played AM at live server and know: what is good and what is can wait.

And remember - I'm not insulting another customers. This can say you a lot too.

The only way to play AM is that you DONT play AM. You delete your AM and play something that doesnt just cheese everyone :D

Please go heal spec, spec in to Path of Isha pick up everything in that line except Bolstering boon. Then stack Willpower in your talisman slots. Archmage seems to be underrated or something but I do just fine in SC's. Need example of items feel free to look up my characters.

This is how good AM must act

Yes, this is T4, but at T3 not too many will be changed, so watch it and use it.

IN AM's current state I dont think DPS is that viable in T3 you are really lacking the Set bonus's and weapons that allow you to to do that damage, I played around with DPS AM on live, Invader/Conq set was beast.
