Strategies
Mage tactics can be categorized into the two following meta:

Left Click Mage: utilizes the mage beam (the mage staff passive) to do extremely high amounts of. This is an alternative to the Berserker class, as while you can achieve much higher numbers, mage beam is less consistent than berserker attacks, and you also get less. The best Left Click Mage armors have both high, , and (for example, Ancient Storm's Armor and Warden Helmet is very good for left click mage). A Giant's Sword with the enchant is the best weapon. This is because it has very high base damage, which when paired with the Warden Helmet results in insane amounts of damage. It should be noted that does not affect mage beam. Therefore, it is recommended to optimize for and  when reforging accessories. Good pets for this play style include damage pets such as the Ender Dragon.

Right Click Mage: utilizes weapon abilities to deal less damage than mage beam, better suited against clusters of mobs. The best armors are either armor sets that provide good, like Necromancer Lord Armor, or armor sets that provide a lot of , like Storm's Armor or Wise Dragon Armor. Some weapons that can be used include Jerry-chine Gun (early game), Dreadlord Sword (early game), Bonzo's Staff (early-mid game), Frozen Scythe (early-mid game), Spirit Sceptre (mid game),Yeti Sword (late game), Midas' Staff (late game), Ice Spray Wand (more used for its ability which freezes all enemies as opposed to its, late-end game), and Hyperion (or Astraea for more hp, end game). As for pets, Sheep is the best since it makes it harder to run out of, as well as increasing significantly. It is still recommended to use both left and right click for this strategy, as melee hits in dungeons regenerate 5 + 1% of max mana. Also, with the mana steal enchant from Enderman Slayer, melee hits can regenerate up to 5 + 1.6% of max mana.
