Moonveil needs buffs now

[OatsMealz]

Let's just just cut to the chase mages are very weak at melee. They need some sort of way to defend themselves at close range since spells are too slow to do that. You want high dmg as a melee class? Pull out your greatbow and watch the heads roll. You want a powerful melee range weapon as mage? Heh out of luck buddy. Seems very biased if you asked me

[SmallGespenst]

nah, there's plenty of melee range options for mages. between actual weapons like Moonveil, Wing of Astel and the Darkmoon Greatsword, and melee spells like Carian Slicer and Adula's moonblade mages are set for close range fighting

[Oku]

Moonveil could use a little bit more tuning for sure but all you really need to do is give any weapon either magic or frost affinity so it scales magic damage off your INT. Another option would be to have your main melee be raw and then enchant.

moonveil is likely to get nerfed more. they already nerfed it once

[Kain]

Moonveil needs a buff?

[sophAur]

jokes on you my pvp main build is a close combat battle mage with a polearm

[rustlung]

Katana move set, inflicts bleed damage and has a long ranged skill with a super fast wind up (which is buffed by shard of alexander). In the right hands, this weapon is still broken.

Cry me a river already. Nerf this buff that instead maybe they should put time into fixing issues or even scrapping this uselee EAC and get the Blue Sentinel guys in to do a proper job of keeping us safe. Last time I looked everyone was crying for Moonveil to be nerfed

Is this a PvP thing? Because I'm using Moonveil and it's just fine in PvE.

It's weapon art has really high damage and comes out fast, though it is easy to deal with in a 1v1 situation, it is annoying to have to face multiple in ganks but you rarely see that since Rivers of Blood is the new meta weapon everyone is using.

Mages SHOULD be weak in melee, that's the tradeoff for having an arsenal of powerful ranged spells, there's also plenty of melee spells that can help aswell. Playstyles are not supposed to be capable of being jack of all trades.

Pretty much this, there should be trade-offs and sacrifices for builds if you're going to be playing at a meta level. It's not very fun if everyone can do everything, is it?

Ther are to many int weapons for mages and best one I would say is your carian slicer spell it not even eat lot FP
If you talking about weapon arts that's different I even find Intel spear which you can even buff with resin

[la sanie des siècles]

Dunno what you're talking about, my mage melts everything with Carian Slicer, and stunlocks most enemies with Adulas Moonblade, all melee, i have a full leveled Moonveil just in case.

[WjndWalk3r]

I'm using moonveil a go to for doing dungeon or close quater combat map, the weapon art of it is so good and fast, when bossing i'm switch to moonlight greatsword because they nerfed moonveil poise damage to almost nothing. Dunno why you can't defense yourself in close range tho.

Wait, I know. You actually wish to get 1 shot sword. Yes, any enemy at any NG/NG+ must fall right after first hit. Man, if you feel bad with Moonveil atm, then open for yourself CheatEngine and stop crying.

P.S. Ruins Sword / Dark Moon Greatsword are top weapons for a mage, IMHO.

Can someone ban this guy for talking about cheat engine? Thank you mods!
