Well, first of all....don't have a main character. Second of all, the type of MAG I build is always dictated by what class or style of play I want my specific character to be. But for the sake of this poll http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif:

HUcast
10/115/75/0
FOnewm (tech)
10/0/0/190
HUnewearl (unfinished)
The stats aren't done yet, but I plan to have it around 10/140/50/0

If I work on a mag by hand, I usually always go for creating rare ones, unless i'm planning on using one of the various mag transformation kits.

i pretty much use whatever i have at the moment its hungry, tho i try to keep its power above everything else. on my main guy the power is 100, def 20, dex 10, mst 70. those are all give or take a few. most of my other mags follow that general idea but i do have a few with higher def, and dex.

it's ok if this poll is moved to the correct area. And as far as the mag builds I've seen builds that try to work out someones weaknessess like the force build power or dex to be able to melee or rangers and hunters going pure mind to get the best out of magic they can use. that's why i started this poll, so we can all see if people like just building up the strentghs or if they build on the weaknessess so the character can progress faster.

I go with power because I am always meleeing, never blowing things up. Unless of course I am playing as a force. I always build my strengths, because a mind mag won't help a droid.

depends on what character I play. i'm not going to give a fonewearl a power mag, i'm going to give her a mind mag.

edit: but for the sake of the thread, main char-FOmar mianly power:

20/110/50/20

How about I don't create a MAG for one particular purpose?.....Seriously, I have never had a POW/DEX/DEF MAG.

(Now, I did have a Mind MAG but a FOnewearl can't have much else, can she?)

he's right, mags are meant to boost chars stats that they lack in.(unless like it's a useless atribute like mind on a HUmar but you get the point.)

for a ranger, or hunter usually mags are make like this:5/150/45/0 that's just basic but if you were a HUcast then you'd want to increase dex to make up for his lack of ata.



edit: it's funny you didnt put mind up there since it's usually the only mags people make that are max stat

The mags I used to make were Ratis, Diwaris, Satos and celled rare mags with stats created for the character to achieve max stat. Most pow/dex mags were 5/150/45/0 or thereabouts and most mind mags were either 186 or 185 mind mags depending on how lazy I was.

In BB, I raise most mags to be either 185 mind mags for celling (cuz I'm lazy to get that extra 1 mind and still have 3 pbs), or I raise Garudas and Kamas for selling to folks who want Striker Units and Tellusis.

With Heavenly Arms so readily available on BB, raising dex is not as important as it was on dc/xbox/gc, so more emphasis on power for the Striker Unit/Tellusis mags is better. I personally use a 5/155/40/0 Tellusis on my Hucast, a 15/0/0/185 Rappy mag on my Fonewearl and a 5/150/45/0 Striker Unit on my Ramarl.

My challenge mode character uses a 5/0/0/0 "mag" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I balance my MAGs out.
For example my HuMar's Mag is a Rati with 50/50/50/50 stats. If I want something else, I can always get another Mag (have three spare ATM). I was thinking of building one of these into a Mind maniac so I can use my Elysion earlier. Got around another 30 levels on my Hunter before he can use it with Rati.

But my HuCaseal is having a Mag with 0 Mind, for the obvious reason.

Depends on the character and what spare Mags I have

I create rare mags with the exception of my strongest character. His mag was already at lv.200 before I read about rare mags. Then I usually go for their best stats. My RAcast, ATA, FOmar, MST.(only ones that have rare mags)

I was gonna say it's tough to choose because I build all sorts of MAGs, but since you limited it to main, I chose POW mags. Right now my HUney has a 10/150/40/0 Rati.

mines terrible. i have a kama and its stats are bad. i usually got for a dex/atp mag for power and accuracy. but my kama (just got back into the game, played it on the dreamcast way way back then) is horrible.

Generally, for Hunters and Rangers I max ATA with DEX. (Using the charts on the site, I find the difference between base ATA at level 200 and max ATA and then double that number to determine my DEX for the Mag.) The rest I put on POW.

For Forces I make very MIND-centric Mags, unless I'm running a "combat" Force in which case I'll make two. For a combat Force I raise a MIND-centric Mag for casting with and a POW/DEX Mag for fighting with. Then I switch between the two depending on what I'm doing.
