Runemage

Tips
Spells work better when cast using your right hand, this is true even if you are naturally left-handed.

Best Armour Affixes
+% Projectile Damage

+% Crit Damage

(You can temporarily settle for +% Crit Chance instead of +% Crit Damage, but Crit Damage is still slightly better with a Powered Strikes potion on)

Best Ring Affixes
Both rings "Scavenged Ring" +35 Critical Strike from Wolfie. See also how to infuse rings.

One of your rings: Empowered

The other ring: Elite Hunter

Best Weapon Affixes
Bleed (rotation or fire mage)

Ice Heart (rotation or fire mage)
 * If you are a fire mage, you will need to cast frost occasionally for this to be the best for you.

Charged Strikes (fire mage only)

Suggested Talent Builds
Lend a Hand (or leave that row unselected if you would rather direct spells with your wand), Selfish Streak, Runic Diversity, Affinity, Triplicity

Talent Note
The DoT talents have been nerfed to the point of making them essentially useless, we suggest you avoid choosing any of them (save for perhaps Contaminate).

Perfect Spell Casting
Failed Cast = 0% damage Normal Cast = 100%-110% base spell damage Perfect Cast = 110%-120% base spell damage
 * The most perfect cast would be 20% better dps wise than the ugliest cast.
 * When you see the perfect effect it can be 10% to 20% better than the ugliest cast. So it starts showing that 'perfect' animation at a 10% boost.
