Strategies
There are two main strategies for mage.

First, there is Left Click Mage, which utilizes the mage beam to do extremely high amounts of damage. 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 Effective Health. Left click mage is also only very good for higher catacombs players. The best Left Click Mage armors have both high, , and (for example, Ancient Storm's Armor is very good for left click mage). For weapons, a Hyperion is the best, with other high-damage weapons such as the Giant's Sword following them. It should be noted that does not affect mage beam. For talisman reforges, you should aim to optimize and. Good pets for this play style include damage pets such as the Ender Dragon.

Secondly, there is Right Click Mage, which utilizes abilities to deal less damage than mage beam, but is much better for clearing lots of mobs together. The best armors are either armor sets that provide good Effective Health, like Necromancer Lord Armor, or armor sets that provide a lot of mana, like Storm's Armor or Wise Dragon Armor. Some weapons that can be used include Bonzo's Staff (early game), Dreadlord Sword (early game), Spirit Sceptre (mid game), Yeti Sword (mid game), Midas' Staff (late game), Ice Spray Wand (late game), and Hyperion (end game). As for pets, Sheep is the best since it makes it harder to run out of mana, as well as increasing ability damage significantly.
