Raven cultist stats debate

[Aquatic Ghoul]

what scaling for the stats would you say is best for a damage dealer (fire mage) i have BCCS but i dont know what is available since you cant check them on the new game screen. also would you say its still better to use wolfkin for lightning since it scales with speed more than damage or would it matter

I've found that which relics a mage can bind is significantly more important than the scaling on any of their stats. Sure someone might have S tier speed scaling, but that doesn't matter if the F tier (I know that doesn't exist) character can equip a +120 speed relic that far outstrips the first character's scaling.

it does exist, humans are all mana no power =p
ironically they're the normal ones for fire because of flame lash... yet paradoxically ravens and shattered do equally good (or anyone with enough power relics really), as can use any spell fine, even a 2 mana flame lash.

I agree. Stat scaling only matters in the early game. When going for your first hired mages, you will want to match the element to the stat scaling as best you can. As you get more relics, it becomes less relevant.
