[Miasma]

Well, heres my first build submission, I come from Callianswelt so not sure how well my builds will work here but here goes nothing.

Skill points: concentration, heal, tumble, spellcraft

Spells: The key spell of this build is Mind Fog, use mind fog to lower everyone's will save by 10, then use mind affecting spells such as: hold monster, dominate, fear, hold person etc. This gets really annoying for everyone because they always fail the save . Also get shadow shield for the extra AC bonus, and mage armor. Take the standard damageing spells like ice storm/ chain lighning etc...

The empowered spell feat is for empowered endurance, and empowered eagles splendor. If you get max on eagles you should have a charisma bonus of +8. Then you use your divine might to get a massive bonus to AC. Divine might stacked with Shadow Shield + mage armor + heavy armor + tower shield gives for a max of 48 AC. The only downside to this mage is that it doesnt have discipline, and it sucks against other mages, so use mind fog on them .

Enjoy!

My suggestion is to drop the enchantment theme for this server. Will saves are extremely easy to get. You'll hardly find any level 20 failing any.. will save ever. So I'd substitute enchantment for evocation. Use defensive casting and substitute defensive casting for martial weapon or something. There are a lot of good martial weapons that give bonuses if you plan on wearing heavy armor and such.

You're looking at a more of 50+ AC with shadow shield, shield and mage armor. Well... if you take cats grace or something.

[Xianio]

I had a similar idea. You should end up with 50+ easily...moreso if you're using heavy armor. Most likely something like 56-60. Although Red is right about enchantment not being worth it. Evoc. is best...or conj. now as it has some wickedly good spells these days.

[isiana]

What does conj have other than flame arrow?

[LittleLostThief]

All of the cloud spells are conjuration and they're useful now. Very useful!

[isiana]

Don't make me laugh cloudkill? If you want death spells that badly at least use finger or circle of death.
Cloudkill's like a free team kill.

[Xianio]

cloud kill is one of...4 or 5. Most are high level spells and now do 40-50 damage a pop and acid cloud/storm...whatever slows people as well. With an energy buffer on + some immunity gear you'll be immune and you'll continually do hefty bits of damage every round. (Not to mention stacking which makes you insanely powerful if you prep right)

[T3hRedMage]

Use your level 9 still spells to use Mords and Icen. Cloud. I think that would be better if you stacked it with web. Actually, it would be pure ownage.

[isiana]

Hm they would actually be useful with 60 ac. I never thought about that. But I would still rather focus in evo than conjure.

[Musekaze]

Horrid wilting anyone?

[isiana]

That's necro isn't it? And you'd need to still spell it so 1 less mord.

[T3hRedMage]

I think web and incen cloud is better than an unfocused level 9 horrid wilting.

[Heavy_Metal-2000]

yeh cloud spells kick %$# now.

i havent been around lately but the last fight i had with little lost theif i (cradle-of-filth) got raped with a barrage of cloudes and webs etc... basiaclly i sat there and watched insanely large amounts of dmg jump off my hp bar while he chuckled to himself..
