Notes: Started as Alchemist, switched to Pyromancer and then finally to Necromancer. I think I struggled a bit more in act 2 than in 3, when I had lower speed but more speed abilities. In the end I got high speed and many useful combat abilities, which made things easier. Shades, sear and overload are an useful combo. In act 3, I just didn't finish the red quest, lost to Zul when he had only 3 health points left! Even with my high speed, I couldn't beat the last two legendary monters. The dragon in act 2 was impossible for me with my abilities at the time. I was champion of the arena though. I sacrificed some magic score for higher abiliy, but maybe a speed score of 15 and magic score of 22/23 would be better, especially because you can get many speed potions in act 3.
Overall, fun ride, interesting gear for mages, specially in act 2, a lot of good stuff!
