Well couple things.

1st, Why bother with more than the 1 needed in NBeat? Don't bother really beyond 1 in that and any in SS (Soul Strike) unless your going for Safety Wall. Not recommended since you already have Fire Wall, which is much more useful for lvling.

2nd, SP recovery is not needed at all. No reason just to put 1 in there as a Mage/Wiz, think there might be a reason ounce Renewal hits or if your going High Mage -> HWiz.

3rd, I have never really heard that Meteor Storm was that great a skill. I know Fire is good against Undead, but so is Water which you have with Water Ball (more a PvP skill I believe) and Storm Gust (absolutely essential for any Wiz).

4th, Finally I would recommend maxing either Earth Spike or Heavens Drive for fighting Wind monsters. Most usually go for HD as it's an AoE spell. The only down side is that HD takes 0.3 seconds per lvl longer to cast. Lvl 5 Earth Spike will take 3.5 sec to cast where as lvl 5 Heavens Drive takes 5 sec.

Since you want to MVP you should get SW, can swap Waterball with IW instead.

Get rid of firewall and get frostdiver cause its far more useful combod with JT.

Sorry meant Napalm Beat. Not sure why at the time I thought it was strike to. Will Edit the post to reflect change.

[LethalJokeChar]

But people often use icewall for MVPs too. It can go either way. Both safety wall and icewall can be useful.

i think he means the skill that neplam beat unlocks...i belive its called soul strike or somthing like that

[Hrishi]

You can get both fire wall and safety wall as a mage, I have both and find both very useful. You'll have to leave SW at level 7 though, unless you want to use Wizard skill points in it. Frost Driver is useless, level 1 Storm gust is a LOT better for freezing.

Storm Gust is pretty much essential for leveling AND MvPing.

Ice Wall is essential to trap MvPs (which is pretty much a necessity for some of the higher end MvPs unless you have a big group).

Meteor Storm can go either way, it's useful but ONLY in strings. It's very nice for MvPs like Amon Ra.

LoV is useless for anything outside ID, so unless you plan to spend a lot of time there, skip it.

Firewall allows you to kill certain mvps and solo certain monsters with ease. Do not get more frost diver than the pre-reqs - just use sg instead for guaranateed freeze.

then renewal happened and threw all your skill builds in array....

I find I have to agree with you about LoV. It was much more useful pre renewal and now falls on it's face often.

[Itsukiishdia]

Haha, yea my skill build changed completely. When I transed I did LoV last, and did MS first. LoV isn't really that useful anymore unless you do a SG + LoV Combo for Woe.
