Yeah, I know this is a bad time to be suggesting a Mage Strat, but I figured I'd put something out there for the current underdog.
HP, CoC | 1:2 | ToE, AoI HP | 1 | Adam, SC, CML, TG, HoD, MgS, AoAC
No need to waste xp on PL seeing as the AoI ensures the mage is hit last. Then again, you might want to put some into it anyhow for stopping VA and absorbing FB or CoC damage.
