[quote="ROKAKU"]Hello, I have not played soma for a long time and thought why not start over fresh. I want to lvl a dex mage as i really enjoyed doing int and want a decent dex char. What weps should i be using to lvl and what weps should i use end game? I assume for lvling bow until 151 then swap axe for slow down.[/quote]

[quote="METHUSELAH"]It would be bow until 151 str then axe until 171. After this it would be just switching between both until you were happy with what you wanted. The question you need to ask yourself would be what would you like to use/do end game. Would you like to use of valour weapons, champ armour, melee/mage and what you want to do, mag/vafer/spider farmer or a boss killer etc. Gear is 90% of the game and all stats shortfalls can be made up with gear, but with higher gear you need the stats (valour and champion). You need to think what stats do you need to use these. Example. Being able to use Champion is 215 str and to use valour orb is 228 int, the best possible outcome for Dex is 178 (maybe more if you "last hit" to get the bonus) The valour Orb's MA boost is truly shocking, compared to a good Nega staff and compared to the other valour weapons, personally I don't think it is worth it but the ability to wear Champion is essential. If you don't go for the Orb but get the 215 for Champion you can get 190 Dex and 212 int or less or more of the other. This is a balanced character that with the right weapon/gear can PVE just fine.

[quote="ROKAKU"]Thank you for the advice I forget how complicated picking a build can be. [/quote]

[quote="MY_UNICORN"]dont make a dex mage as no level raise is due,a cap raise is coming and damage will be unbalanced again [/quote]
