Looking for a video from experienced users with hit and run tactics of mage with staff.

May be I'm not doing it right. Or I should use spells more often.
Mobs still hit me often even goblins.

Hit and run is a good tactic, you also should try to keep your enemy busy (companion or summon)
Also mage barrier is a good skill.

Which level do you have? And what's your skilling/traits?

SoH for example is a Mage with staff build.

Wich build do you prefer?

I like the summon build

My latest is a wand build. But the other is a staff build. I always try to a avaid close range battle. I used summoner to keep the enemy busy and if necessary run. Worked fine, managed to finish ark and SoH. Mage barrier is the most important skill for me, that makes close fight easier and give you enough time to summon or run away

Here my two Mages (lvl 22 and lvl 8)

I didn`t consider summons because there is companion, so he distract enemies.
And I don`t see what skills to sacrifice.

Interesting, what made you consider wand instead of staff in new build? With summon and companion you can concentrate on damage.
And lightning, but no AOE spell. I is this build is more boss oriented?

Well, because I already mastered the staff build and want to try something different. After spending some time with wand, It has something. You make less damage, but you can keep your enemies away from you. I don't know how it will be with higher level, but at the moment, I like the wand build, the push back is a really nice attribute.

I'll wait til the next update to finish that character, but at low level I like it more than the staff build

Edit:

It's because of Ark and high level. Lightning get more damage per level, fireball and Co don't. Also only lightning is useful at Ark. That's the reason why I reskilled
