does magick get better?
because at lvl 18 its so, so, soooo bad. Its so clunky and weak.

If you by accident get cornered or caught alone youre done for cause theres NOTHING you can do.

Its cool as hell the spells, but the damage they do vs the visual impact they seem to have is.... astonishingly low....

So yeah, might just make a support mage pawn and go melee so I can actually dmg stuff consistently if magick isnt going to get any better.

Sounds like you're not playing the vocation right so yeah you should switch.

"If you by accident get cornered or caught alone youre done for cause theres NOTHING you can do." - This applies to every vocation to an extent. You're just punished less or more depending on which class.

Have you tried High Palladium?

It breaks the game and makes you invincible to all damage.

honestly, just play the first game the second one is just a worst re-skin. the best you will get is the meteor shower spell and the tornado one that's it.

I don’t have any issue with my mage. My main pawn is warrior focus on defense/taunt enemies. Then I always hire another mage + archer. Most the time all enemies go/focus on my warrior, the hired mage heals + use buffs and support my cast (if he/she has the same damage skill)

Of course, I need to pay attention how the enemies stand and that my character does not get cornered but... this should be clear. Dead is always a learn lesson for me and not because I play a stupid class, I just was stupid.

Maybe mage is just not a class which is fun for you, so you are less eager to learn from your mistake. You always can choose another vocations for you and your pawn and try it out.

I'm watching Rurikhan, and it seems like if he enchants himself as Sorcerer and uses the little pea shooter shots, the DPS is higher than charging spells. might depend on the target.

you can also try exploiting oil and water to do more damage.

playing a sorc and it def gets better. the class needs alot of strategy and proper placement, but if done right, it straight up nukes enemies. Trash enemies are left to pawns unless they are grouped together

idk the pawns around level 12/14 have been doing really good damage. Theyll one shot a lot of mobs, compared to me taking 2/3 hits to kill them.
or theyll deal massive damage to an ogre.
I use those spell books often and they do insane burst damage to bosses.

Mage has one job: Spam High Palladium and Heal/Cure Conditions.

Anything else is just gravy.

You need to do a quest to get it.

My mage pawn's really been bringing home the damage. I'd say it's probably a good idea to carry around 1 enchant, 1 passive spell like Palladium, and two damaging spells. Glaciel's pretty amazing every time it goes off, and Emperyon's looking attractive since that appears to be a new holy damage spell, so I'm considering slotting it on.

If you yourself aren't feeling the mage playstyle though, consider swapping vocations to Archer and using a Mage pawn instead.

Remember that only thieves can dodge roll - make sure you're positioning yourself well and don't let yourself get surrounded. This isn't a 1 vs the world game, it's a team game. Bring a tank.
