Hey I just psoted my way of playing archmage in early stages.
(lal i is thidranki nub!:P)
anyway how does this sound:
Tier 1:
using instants allot
target ally (not yourself this case)
target enemy
cast
Lambent Aura (instant) hot (ally) - builds tranquility 1 (1)
Healing Aura (1sec) heal+hot - builds tranquility 1 (2)
Transfer Force (instant) dot+hot - builds force 1 (1)
Radiant Gaze (instant) dot - builds force 1 (2)
Searing touch (focus) dmg - builds force 1 (3)
Transfer Force (instant) dot+hot - builds force 1 (4)
from here I can switch targets if needed or cast Law of Conductivity to get force to 5
I will be able to cast a allmost free boon of Hysh at this moment.
Im avoiding to cast Boon of Hysh normally, coz of setback when hit while casting.
Also this way gives fast builds and requires few action pts.
Ofc when target is on me, I use detaunt on him and instants as much as you can.Use the interupting focus spell.
I know probally when I receive answers to this Ive pasted tier 1 but I will allways be able to say : omfg i was pro in tier 1 and i can givf advise to new archmages
*just wanne be sure i didnt gie wrong info to guildies:P*
Not played my AM for a bit and only got him to lvl 8 or so but I'm pretty sure that casting from the opposite aspect of magic doesnt build a charge, it just cancels it doesnt it?
So if you have 2 tranq as in ur example and cast force then it resets and you cast a powerful force?
But yeah switching back and forth is a nice challenge and a clever mechanic of rAMs, they can do some sweet healing but only if they maintain the DPS
