+20 Mage Set

Mage sets for +20 gear come down to player preference and what the set is for. Below is a loose pve example for planning purposes only. This assumes your going to Past The Max (PTM) LMI, Intuition and Pulse.

Count	Stat
4	Lightning or Fire
4	Magic Sheild
4	Immunity
4	Intuition
4	Pulse
3	Wisdom
3	Mana
5	Flex Slots

This would lead you with the following

Count	Set
4	LMI
3	Int/Wis/Str
3	Mana/Pulse/XXX
1	Int/Pulse/XXX

To effectively pulse the 118 hell demons, you need about 165 base pulse and four +20 pulse items. Three +20 freeze items would also assist and you can drop the mana for an additional two +20 bless items and do two weapons items. Use a stat calc to ensure you don't over bless your self by adding the bless items depending on what level you plan to play to.
