Hey tachikoma, I'll try to remember our relative stats.

For the DPS mages, they were stacked mostly into MND with some Vitality, no INT whatsoever. For the DoT mages, 181 PIE with the rest split between MND and VIT.

The main reason why the dps mages have such high MND in our run is to Curaga tank the Purgatory Knights. Profundity II with Banish II will do about the same damage regardless of your INT.

I think Kaeko either uses the Gridanian wand or an NQ Walnut wand of Storms (He should really use a wind wand on the ogre to help build TP faster). The reason he uses a shield is to curaga tank more easily and better survivability. Sentinel/Aegis Boon II/Deflection with Spiritbind/Curaga is a guaranteed way to keep hate and stay alive. He used these skills to hold the 2nd and 3rd groups of Purgatory Knights.

I'll ask Kaeko to post his stats when he gets online after work today.
