How to Create a Mage Build in Enshrouded: Back to the Shroud Update

     With the "Back to the Shroud" update, mages are set to experience a thrilling evolution in gameplay. This update brings a host of enhancements focused on refining the Mage class, from increased durability with improved armor to significant boosts in spell effectiveness. Key changes include a 50% increase in projectile speed for spells like Fireball and a restructured Battlemage skill tree. Additionally, wands now feature enhanced durability and reduced transition times for blocking, alongside various bug fixes that ensure a smoother gaming experience. Dive into this update to elevate your mage's power and versatility in the Shroud.

 

 

 

Armor and Weapon

 

     To start your mage journey, gear is key. Here’s the lowdown on the best equipment you’ll need to dominate:

 

     1. Elder Armor Set: Go for the Ark Mage set to maximize your magic prowess. Specifically, the Elder chest and Elder trousers provide top-notch stats. Equip the Warl gloves to add that extra damage boost—because you’re already melting enemies with a single hit.

 

    

     2. Shield: Opt for the Shield of Light. This not only deflects attacks but also keeps your mana and health in check, especially with the Commander Ring’s added benefits—30% more mana and health.

 

     3. Staff: The Shroud Weaver is your go-to staff. With fire damage enhancements via the Luminous upgrade, your fireballs will have enemies scorching in no time. If you’re not sure how to get it, check out my guide linked below.

 

 

 

Skill Tree

 

     Now, onto the skill tree—where the magic really happens. Here’s how to skill up like a pro:

 

     1. Wizard Tree: Start by focusing on the “Well Rested” skill to extend your rested buff by five minutes. Invest heavily in the “Quick Charge” skill, which slashes spell charging time by 50%. For fire damage aficionados, stack up on fire damage perks. If you prefer ice or thunder damage, adjust accordingly.

 

    

     2. Fire Skills: Max out your fire damage by grabbing the Sun Radiant Aura and other fire-enhancing skills. This upgrade makes enemies burn based on your intelligence—absolutely crucial for a fire-focused build. And Radiant Aura helps you deal damage if you are surrounded by enemies in the Shroud.

 

    

     3. Healer Skills: While primarily a damage dealer, some healing can be a game-changer. Get the Water Aura for consistent healing over time and enhancements to boost this ability.

 

    

     4. Survivor Tree: For added survivability and mobility, invest in Updraft for better gliding and Double Jump to navigate tricky terrains. Also, enhance your HP and physical damage reduction to stay in the fight longer.

 

    

 

Buffs and Consumables

 

     In Enshrouded, what you eat and drink can be just as important as your gear:

 

     1. Glow Soup: Provides a solid +5 Intellect boost, significantly ramping up your magical damage. Also, it increases your Shroud Protection.

 

    

     2. Endurance Food: Essential for maintaining stamina, crucial when blocking or parrying with your shield.

 

     3. Azure Mushrooms: Found in abundance around the Shroud, these mushrooms give a +3 Intellect boost when cooked, enhancing your magic damage.

 

     4. Sugar and Other Buffs: Keep these on hand for stamina recovery during intense battles or lengthy exploration sessions.

 

    

 

Putting It All Together

 

     With the right gear, skills, and buffs, your mage build in Enshrouded: Back to the Shroud Update will be unstoppable. Whether you're facing off against bosses or grinding through mobs, this build ensures you’re not just participating but dominating.
