Runes of Magic US / AU

W/M is essentially a warrior in full mage gear, and uses a staff. Statting depends on whether you're interested in PvP or PvE. For PvE, probably 3-4 Int/matk and the rest int/stam or Int/HP or Stam/matk. Staff - current best one is Hoson's Spine. Transformed Hoson's Spine is a tiny bit worse than Hoson's, but will cost much less. Idk for PvP though, I've seen some pretty weird and varied builds for PvP...

Lightning Burn Weapon and Lava Burn weapon is your main DPS, and I think electrical Rage too. Basically, the class works by doing insane auto-attack damage.

W/M is one of the most OP classes in this game, has been for a LONG time now. How have you found NOTHING on this class combo? Did you use the search feature? Did you look through more than one page of results? So many people have covered this combo over the last couple of years that I am 100% certain you can find what you are looking for with minimal effort.

Hoson spine is only best weapon for w/m if u are going to 1shot the enemy. in boss fights Staff of Justice is best weapon by far. You can get it from main questline in merdhin tundra

any math/screenies to back that up 40pints?

what you are looking for is "magical DPS"(as opposed to magical damage, like a mage wants to max)...best staff for mages may not be best staff for warmage...

What skills should i level and on what stats should i focus?

W/M stats just like a mage. Which stats you particularly choose depends on your play style but I personally recommend 4 int/matt and 2 int/sta. W/M barely uses any tp, basically it only levels 3 elites. The first is Electric Attack (lvl 35 elite). I assume that you already know the basics so its just a buff for 15 mins, always keep it on and whack stuff with your weapon to deal normal white hits. You should use it till both classes are lvl 60. Lava Weapon (lvl 40 elite) is similar to Electric Attack but it deals less damage. The fun really begins when both classes are lvl 60 because the lvl 60 elite combines both Electric Attack and Lava Weapon into 1 skill(that works similar: a 15 minute buff but you don't use tp because it is a passive skill) but reduces their combined damage by 25%. Nevertheless, you are still technically hitting twice so you do massive damage.

For short, max Electric Attack, Lava Weapon, and try to get the lvl 60 elite (Lightning Burn Weapon) as soon as you can. You could also level Thunder Sword to hit things from a range of 50 as opposed to be right next to them.

What weapons should i use?

This also depends on your play style. Many prefer staffs for massive damage and 1 hitting everything. I personally prefer wand/shield. Wand does magical damage (not as much as staff but still, you are pretty op) and it is a lot faster. Remember that as a w/m you are concerned with only 1 thing; speed of white hits. Therefore, try to get a raid rune in your weapon and a recon as well cause you are a aggro machine. Also as warrior you can use a shield in off hand for extra stats/stamina which the staff doesn't provide.

Furthermore I have been trying to look into the viability of using memento gear rather than mage clothes. Why? Cause there is memento chain gear that actually has int/matt. Thus you really don't miss out on a lot of mage ghost attributes whilst getting a heck of a lot more defense from chain gear than actual robes. However, this seems a bit more oriented towards pvp.

Edit: If you are starting anew and don't got anyone to power level both classes to 35 to get Electric Attack, then, when questing get warrior gear and play like a normal physical warrior. It is the level 35 elite and later on the level 60 elite that allow you to be a warrior but hit and gear like a mage.

What weapons should i use?

Weapon wise....unless you can afford to tier and + multiple weps I would advise you to go with either shackles or hosons (shackles being the preferable). The issue with tier'ing and +ing staff of justice is that if you ever want to play the mage side or some other magic combo.....you're just gimping yourself with only staff of justice as your wep.

I would actually have to say Shackles is the best, and even in relation to 1 hitting due to how close their mdamage values are. Faster attack speed still means hitting faster when tab targeting, and hence faster 1 hitting ;D.

And im not too sure about Staff of Justice being best in boss fights either. I do know that in a conciderably long fight SoJ will come out on top over time, but for burns particularly im not too sure. I run with 2 w/m's, 1 has Hoson's and 1 has Staff of Justice and almost every fight the Hoson's wins. (if it was shackles I would be even more interested in seeing the differences).

Just my thoughts on the combo's weps. I could T10 a SoJ on AU to test...I have the stones and + jewels...but have no party to run with for testing anyway xD
