Mage build

What am I going to use for bo if weap 1 is hoto and weap 2 is scepter? Going to stash to get bo weps is annoying.
 
Thats one of the reasons I am against using foh scepter.
Either go with 75fcr and use "foh stick" all the time, or stay with hoto.
 
Would my foh damage suck using hoto all the time?

You lose out on 25% dmg and -25 resists. Also +3 foh. Hoto is simply +3 skills.
 
Yes, your FoH dmg will suffer, but high dmg isn't all there is.
Thats why you use conviction to lower your opponents resistances.
And 5-6k FoH isn't anything to sneeze at, with -175res.

EDIT:

FoH'ers aren't hated because of insane FoH damage, but for the fact that they lower resistances ^^
 
Ok..hows this for a setup.

equipment:
helm: griffons (20%)
amulet: P maras
weapon: P hoto
shield: HoZ (5/5 facet)
weapon switch: +6bo cta
shield switch: bo spirit
armor: enigma
gloves: Magefist
belt: arachnid
boots: FHR/tri resist
ring 1: Soj
ring 2: bk ring/soj
charms: P torch, anni, 9x pcombats

This gives me: 105fcr (hits 75 BP) and 58% fhr (10 from boots, 4x fhr pcombats) meaning I'll hit the 48% fhr BP. Rest of the pcombs will be lifers I guess.
 
Sounds quite solid, but I'd suggest you try with 125fcr (with spirit for example) and see which setup suits you best.
