Does anyone have Anti-Mage Strategies

[SynCin]

Does anyone have Anti-Mage strategy for Isis and Hepaestus. I am sure there are some strategies out there [specifically for Zuesians], but they do not appear in forums. Please post your strategies and Battle Reports.

Umm, I dunno what lvl range you are, but Isis+Hephaetus player probably has a lot more gears.

There isn't much strategy, just place your heroes to 1-2 hit kill Heph, Isis.

Maybe you have seen this?

As for non full mage build, all depends on gears and training, positioning.

There's no kill all build in later maps, all depends on positioning.

Aritheo:
after Anubis is renned at 126 (still 1 more to 131), and 129/126 wash, with g13-7 weapon, mount, and armors +72/74 enchants:

Thanks Pluton. I was looking for strategies to help level playing field for Zeusians and Athenans against Poseidan dominance. Hopefully this will be a place to gathering ideas.

Unfortunately...the mage user (me) can easily counter that as well by repositioning. Not to mention that with time even those zeusians strategies don't work anymore lol. Amoel hasn't attacked me in ages and lost the last few times he has tried. As for newgenius? Look at his new set up b9.clapalong.com/?fid=N201203138512343
Just saying...all these guys are vip 7 by the way and I'm a measley vip 4. That's for Orochi who said that full mage builds need a lot of gold to stay competitive

i haven't bothered to post much since i decided to retire and wait for diablo3.. but since u directed your comment at me i'll add a few points

1.) vip4 is the minimum for a full mage build, because u NEED red horns sooner or later. vip0 works for BM or mixed builds. that's already a clear indicator of the gold difference. purple books.... even more gold needed.

2.) when i said competitive, i don't just mean pvp, and personally i prioritize maps more since the sooner u recruit certain map heroes, the larger the advantage u gain in pvp. can a vip4 full mage build be faster than a vip 4 or even lower, BM or mixed BM build in maps? i don't see it happening.

3.) your BR shows 4 dpsers vs 2 dpsers... i don't know why your opponent is using zeus with sult+anubis for pvp.. but it's certainly not one of the better setups. i have no idea of his gear or pres/nobility rank etc, but at this stage sticking to only 2 dps heroes already puts one at a disadvantage to begin with.... not to mention he doesnt even have a single hero that can take ele hits.

4.) a mixed build can rely on dodge or moral sup or blk or stun etc to get pass certain tougher npcs. a pure mage build, apart from stun, can only rely on gear or enchant/wash aka stats. what does that mean for a pure mage user when stuck at a certain npc, like anubis or elf? either very good gear/armaments, or double/triple washes with the proper enchant to back it up. more likely both. that requires either a ton of time or gold. and if u choose time over gold, u become slower than the rest.


i think the main difference in our views stems from the definition of "competitive". to me it means being in the top few in BOTH maps n pvp. all the time, be it the lv 100 era, or 120 era, or 140 and above era. it is simply not possible to remain the top in both maps/pvp as the game progresses, as a pure mage build.. and i'll go one step further and say that holds true EVEN if one spends a ton of gold... let alone if he doesn't.

again, i have nothing against full mage builds. it can be very potent if u have the ability to back it up, and it's undeniably more interesting than the normal cookie cutter builds. but i know i wouldn't be where i am now in terms of map progression and pvp, if i went for a full mage build.... and i simply can't think of any situation where i rather have a full mage build than a mixed build and have it work as well.
