Hello everyone,
It's StarFlorge,
This is a build after Trespasser that is a great build in every fight, and has many ways to deal a lot of damage, Also this build utilizes the static cage upgrade with the wisps to be able to deal a ton of damage with AA's and for when you run out of mana, hope you give this build a try and hope everyone enjoys it, so here it is:
Actually I'm quite confused at what the new toggle spirit mark actually do? Is it just a dot curse that does spirit damage? The dead enemies don't seem to fight for you any more.
Also guardian spirit passive don't seem to work with necro either (if you have simulacrum). You go into ghost form straight away and get the barrier as a ghost. Obviously this isn't going to save your life in any way.

when they die, you get a wisp next to you that deals 100% weapon damage each aa
as of wisps, i dont know why they just dies as soon as they form. i.e. when an enemy dies with spirit mark active, he turns purple and ghostly but then just falls back down and, well, dead. no wisp forms and no extra spirit damage either
the wisps attach to your character, not where the enemy dies
Is there any hard data on how long the wisps last and how casting spirit mark interacts with them? I have a hard time getting wisps to stay up long enough to accumulate more than two; I always seem to lose them before I have a third Spirit Mark cast, let alone killed.
To be fair, I'm still midgame and don't have powerful offensive weaponry yet. I can see getting the huge cooldown modifiers and attack increases could make it easier.
Nice build! Btw, when do you plan on uploading your 2H Templar build?
Well im leveling a warrior atm for a video, but the templar build will be next, if i cannot level up quick enough i will make a build but not solo 
and for other questions
well wisps last 30 seconds, if you want a video showing how it works say and i can quickly make one
Just want to pop by to say:
Keep in mind that a lot of hits isn't necessarily a lot of DPS, the reserve is also true -- a big hit isn't necessarily a lot of DPS either.
I see a lot of numbers, small numbers floating through, sprinkled with a few bigger hits, and sadly it looks like wisps are the contributors of that small number flurry (these are numbers less than 100 damage). 100% weapon damage is great -- unless it can't crit and doesn't modify off of Attack % and its something to keep in mind.
I also don't see Static Cage getting over 500 damage, which is fine, but from the way you speak in the video -- its the build's bread and butter, and more damage is coming from Cassandra Comboing off of your Shocked with her Shield Bash I'd wager.
Play around with the gear, try and grab Hidden Blade Masterworks or On Hit effects, as they could really drive the damage up even more considering all of the damage 'hits'.
Hope this helps

I Know dps and for high dps build i have builds like the 100% energy barrage crit, however what exactly i mean by dps on this is, first the energy barrage + static cage combo, which is at high mana a great burst, and also with 3 wisps up and static cage, the aa dps i mainly meant as a 0 mana type of thing, if that makes sense, By this i mean when you are stuck with just having to aa this is the best way to get dps up for that period of time. Also i do more with gear on my other builds as they are saves made for youtube where as this is on my main which is just in the one place and i cannot do anything about that xD. At the end of the day i made this for a fun build cause it really is, but has potential for some high damage.
The point of Hidden Blade though is perfect, every hit which with static cage and 3 wisps is 6 hits, 6 times it could proc each aa which would boost the dps a lot. Hopefully soon after some tests i can make a new highest mage damage but im doing tests to make sure it really is and hopefully you cannot unpick that one xD
Seen a lot of your work as well and i like a lot of it. Thanks
So a Qunari Necromancer would make for a fairly powerful auto attack mage?
Do Qunari get bonus to aa? thought they only had +10% physical resistance bonus, but yes

Vitaar are beneficial to damage. Doesn't matter if it is AA or spells. A rough approximation for attack % equivalence is given by:
(vitaar_damage / weapon_base_damage)*(1+Attack%)
So, for example, if you have a vitaar that gives 10 base damage and a weapon that has a base damage of 70. Suppose your current attack % is roughly 50%. Then the vitaar gives an equivalent damage increase as 21%.
(10/70)*(1+0.5) = 0.21

I sometimes wish Solas could wear vitaars and Blackwall had the 25% dwarven magic resistance. Damn what a party.
Reavers with vitaars just seems overkill but it would be so strong on rogues and mages.

What's ironic is that Vitaar has the least benefit with 2H. Consider that most base damage for a high-end 2H weapon is near 300. A 20 damage vitaar and 50% attack gives an equivalence of only 10%. I.E. it is more valuable with smaller base damage weapons like a stave or dagger.
(20/300)*1.5 = 0.1
Now look at the same vitaar with a 90 base damage staff, same attack power. 33% attack power!!!! Qunari make really awesome mages for this reason.
(20/90)*1.5 = 0.33
but those wisps doesn't hit the target i'm hitting with staff..they shot random targets
also if CD is 20s how is it possible to have 3???
Gathering Storm is how 
But the idea for those whisps is that you put Static cage on all of their possible targets

CD is 15 seconds, and use it with flash point then you can get 3 up

if you had 3 wisps in static cage on multiple enemys that would be amazing, i just found it easy to show it off on the one mob at the start, and sucks near the end every time the mobs just wanted to block me xD
ehm...if i take cold i don't take lightning and fire etc etc. Every mage is different
Necromancer needs CC so i usually take cold for him. KE takes lightning to load blade faster and Rift mage takes fire.
i don't like hybrid builds even if there are usueful things in all "elements"

with your idea mages are different ever thought of a mage being a master of elements not just one, they do appear in many lores and games.
