Builds and combat orders

 * Energy build
 * Level 2: 28 technology (+1 damage, +1 resistance) and 1 Overload. Strike until you can get the enemy down to where an Overload and a Plasma Bolt will kill them (about 30 Health).
 * Level 3: 30 technology, 44 Health, 50 Energy, and 2 Plasma Bolt. Strike until you can get the enemy down to where an Overload and a Plasma Bolt will kill them (about 30 Health).
 * Level 4: 31 technology, 20 strength, 52 Energy, and 3 Plasma Bolt. Strike until you can get the enemy down to where an Overload and a Plasma Bolt will kill them (about 30 Health). If you have enough Energy (if you followed the build), at level 4 you can also open up with an additional Plasma Bolt, then use Strike to get the enemy down to 30 Health.
 * Level 5: 50 health, 54 Energy, and 1 Plasma Rain. Open with Plasma Bolt, follow up with Plasma Rain, then Plasma Bolt again. If the enemy is prone to healing itself, strike until you get it down to about 30 health before using Plasma Rain and Plasma Bolt for the second time.
 * Level 6: 56 Energy, 32 technology, 22 strength, and 4 Plasma Bolt. Open with Plasma Bolt, follow up with Plasma Rain, then Plasma Bolt again. If the enemy is prone to healing itself, strike until you get it down to about 32 health before using Plasma Rain and Plasma Bolt for the second time.
 * Level 7: 62 Energy, 52 Health, and 1 Bludgeon.

This build gets devoured by Bounty Hunters with EMP grenade. Its best to use all of your skills immediately when fighting one with that ability.

-Tech mages make me fear when they use malfunction. It is really good idea to use support+hp+conversion+malfunction+ deadly aim build.
 * Another comment.

-For 2vs2 I often start it when my character level is 5 to use plasma rain and then improve it until it is maximum.

-Best result: win:loss 4:1. *until lvl 13

-Tech mage is the class that really needs high hp which I recommend you to improve it at first 5 levels.

-Many tech mages at level 25+ tend to use malfunction+plasma shot(60+ damages)+conversion+hp build.
