Any dot build for mage?

[Dying pancake]

I tried few way like burn manaburn souleater, but stand no chance at wrath 10. i didnt max gear enchantment (too expensive) but main problem i can see is lack of damage :( rather depressing really.

what are you using as a damage skill?
with arcane commander and 4 obliteration ray clones i can afk farm forge 10, even when i level random reapers they cant reach me and armor is stacking up to 5 mio+ at wave 100.
souleater also gives bonus to channeling skills, thats even more damage then the fire itself.
thats my build:
and its far from optimized, the epic stats are pretty random and i have way to much mana regeneration. armor and max mana is also a bit of an overkill, as i said i sit on 5 mio+ thornbite armor at round 100.

:P i guess ray also count as damage over time but not what i meant. I was trying to see any build for burn damage ect. but not benefit from critical simply disable build like this

[it is like; whatever]

i wouldnt recommend using damage over time as a mechanic as there are already mechanics in the game that either nullify damage over time or heavily reduce it (up to 100%)

probs just stick to arcane clone obliteration beam spam

I don't see how anyone can play the mage that well. The Knight has to be the strongest and most well rounded. My mage has been a struggle to level. Lack of damage, mana and defenses. The weakest.

you dont have to do anything as mage. just put down your clones and let them 1 hit the whole screen, even elites.
knight is fine, but my personal least played char. huntress at least is needed to farm gold.

This is why I wish this game had a larger platform. Just to see what others are doing differently. Your mage has been the exact opposite of my knight experience. You can go flat out immune to death on the Knight. He is super versatile.

The mage is super mana hungry and a single mistake its over. I'm not going to give up but he has been shelved for sometime now.

you're just new and building wrong. mage has 99.89% armor (phys immune) and 96% ele resist (immune) with insane elemental damage stacking. all classes can attain relatively the same build (because all builds are more or less transferable between classes).

mage is just the easiest to be lazy with (while also being immune to damage etc)

screenshot from another topic, but thats how mage looks. over 7 million thornbite armor at the end of a forge 10 run, while being afk the whole time.
and thats not even a defense build, it just stacks up because stuff is dead before it can hit me. posted a bad version of the build above in the first answer, its better rolled now, but even that with random yellow stats was enough to afk forges and leveling random reapers in the meantime.

as i said, knight is fine and fun, but you get the same results faster and without pressing a button (if you dont want to) as a mage.
and he is only mana hungry at the start, later on a bit mana leech is enough.

Yeah Mage has way better builds than DoT. And Mages have no actual active DoT skills. Arcane Breach doesn't count as a DoT, how I know? cause Soul Eater Mantle doesn't applies to Arcane Breach.
