First of all, you're welcome, glad my guide is helpful.
- Don't use pendants but get chakras or even rulers/feathers+18 are ok, you want the flat attack of those rings
- Both magic and melee attack zhens work honestly. The best weapon you can get is a 2.0 upgraded zhen either melee or magic. After that you have the choice between opaniel or between abyss, in this case I would go for abyss, preferably with 112% hp + 60-70% magic or melee attack (you need the HP for the survivability)
- You'll deal most damage with an abyss zhen with magic & melee % but you'll die very easily
- as for armor even an abyss set with 100-180 int each part beats any other kind of armor
- Tennis is the only pet you should use at your sage in any secenario: PVP/PVE/Boss hunting/Dungeons etc. everything is done with the tennis pet.
My amount of stats trans is secret xD, hero pet isn't good for temp/sage. they get too much profit from double dipping the 40% melee + 40% magic from tennis.
