Gameplay

Weapon choice: Cyclone Lord's Blessing converts P.Atk to M.Atk. Combined with Two-Handed Axe Training and Tactical Advantage, a 2H Axe is the obvious weapon choice (this may change at level 220+, to be confirmed).

Basic rotation: Pull mobs with Bleak Squall → stack mobs → cast Root of Mother Nature to root them in place → then unleash your AoEs: Eternal Pillar of Fire, Vacuum Shockwave, Spear of Flame.

Once your damage is high enough, alternate between Eternal Pillar of Fire and Root of Mother Nature across pulls, both have huge damage modifiers, so using both in the same pull wastes potential.

Magus is the only class that benefits enormously from summoning a pet thanks to Mental Link Mental Link, which lets you inherit INT and Wisdom from your summoned pet. This is why Ethereal Pixie is a must-have and will boost your damage by an insane amount.

Tips

1. Kiting is very important with this class — prioritize movement speed in rings.
2. Stage Ethereal Pixie to Stage 5 as soon as possible and equip a Yushiva belt on her — huge boost to your M.Atk.
3. Hector level 2 potion is the best potion to boost your M.Atk.
4. Always keep healing DoT and healing spells ready in case you get hit.
5. If you have trouble stacking mobs, keep circling around them until they are all in one place for Root of Mother Nature.
6. Use all Recklessness skills and Arcane Swell during boss encounters for a significant damage burst.
