Overview

This PVP Mage DPS build focuses on dealing high damage to targets while remaining very mobile and reasonably tanky thanks to ShellShell. This build also makes use of many instant cast skills to both kite and deal high damage, making it very dangerous when played well as its very hard to pin down. SlumberSlumber is the main CC ability and is one of the strongest skills in the game as it allows you to do a full rotation on a target before they can react. While this build does best in small scale PvP and 1vs1 duels, it can still perform well in larger PvP content with an aggressive playstyle.
