Do any Mages use these skills?
I find them useless.
Ice Shards is already great as it is and, Lure of Ice attracts agro, Ice Shards has a 10 second cast time so, by the time you are ready to cast it after Lure of Ice, it gets interrupted.
I have not tried Lure of Fire though.
Mages please feedback?
Re: Lure of Ice and Fire.
#2I dont use them no. But they might be powerful when in group and everybody uses magical weapons?
Ice shards isn't one of my favorites yet. I haven't upgraded that one but it does same dmg as my fire ball which is cast a lot faster.

#3Ice Shards is the most powerful skill in the game.
I have it at level 10.
It makes it so much easier for Mages to kill.
Open with Shards, finish with Firebolt.
On my Mage, I have:
Firebolt, Ice Shards, Energy Well (though it isn't working correctly at the moment), and Energy Boost maxed.
220 Focus and 20 Vitality.

Re: Lure of Ice and Fire.
#4I have around 25 on focus and 75 on vit. I'm lvl 18. so not fully pro yet. So you suggest to max out ice.
maxed are energy boost. and fire ball.

#5And, Energy Shield.
Energy Shield is more useful as you level it. It will drain less energy as you level it.
Put that on top of high Focus and, you can easily take down enemies.
Ice Shards will fail a lot but, it will be worth it when you get your Ice Magic ability higher.
I suggest, put the rest of your points into Focus though.
For wands, don't let the lighter wands fool you.
The most effective wand that I am using right now is the Sceptre.
This wand give 17 Crushing Damage along with 10 Magical Damage.
If you don't have enough to buy the new Mage set of armor, Tailored Silk will be the next best thing.
Once you do have enough, if you have all Tailored Silk, you will only need to replace the hat, chestpiece, and bottoms.
The shoes have the same stats and, the gloves are worse so, don't waste your gold on them .

#6While posting that post before I was playing on my warrior and found that exact scepter. I will switch to my mage right now and try to lvl it a bit. thanks for info
Re: Lure of Ice and Fire.
#7No problem:).
Keep in mind though, Ice Shards is made to start the battle or, in a group when you don't have agro on you.

Re: Lure of Ice and Fire.
#9Also, Energy Shield may seem more trouble than it's worth at low levels but, I promise, as you level it up and, level your Focus, it will be great.
Also, when Energy Well gets fixed, it will be even better.

#10If you use Lure of Fire at level 10 with maxed fire magic it really makes a difference..
