Does +skill attack help mages?

[Andy]

Ok then in your spirits on mages should you embed skill attack gems or Is a waste also. I took them off mine so just wondering if Im missing something.

You are not missing anything. Sapphires on a Mage are wasted. A bit off subject, but when embedding Obsidians on the swords favor the heros that do not keep their morale after a skill attack. Obsidian improves physical attack and even though the Physical attack stats improve Skill attach a little they better Obsidians will be more effective on the heroes that do use physical attacks.
