Just a quick reminder that Magic Missile is still garbage

[Dark Meta Knight]

It does 3 damage total.
Less than a dagger.
Heck, less than a basic fist most of the time.
It also has limited charges because it's a spell.

Just make it deal at least equal to STR in damage or something, then it'd actually be good. For example with 6 STR, it deals 18 damage total which is actually decent for a spell.

Scaling in STR per level suggestion:
1 - 1.0
2 - 1.5
3 - 2.0
4 - 2.25
etc.

Alternatively:
1 - 3 projectiles.
2 - 4 projectiles.
3 - 6 projectiles.
etc. - damage starts increasing.

...So I had 3 magic buffs at once thanks to the Derranged.

The spell then dealt 2 damage per projectile!

Do you play mage?

I played as a Knight, had 4 INT though, and still did 1 damage. At 3 magic buffs (So a total of 10 INT) the spell finally did 2 damage. (Total of 6 with all 3 projectiles.)

Even Frost Nova deals more overall damage with it's freezing ability on top of it.

I think the problem may be this: It uses "physical attack" in it's description, which gives me the impression that it will use ATK.

...And well, it's bad to begin with. Unless it's changed then it will just be campfire fuel to me.

You really can't discount a spell if you used it at 4 INT. At 4 INT, Iceball, unanimously the best damage spell, does 3 damage.

At high levels of INT (approx. 25+) and high spell level (3+) , magic missile can one-shot boulder guys in the Rift. Which unless playing DA or Bloody abuse, no dagger can ever do.

...Oh.

Well, I don't play Mage, like at all, so I believe you.
I'll have to try the spell again later when I go Mage sometime.

Worth noting: Magic Missile similar to Frost Nova does have some radical spell level scaling. So for maximum effect as Mage pick up as many MM tomes as possible but if you're playing Knight, you might be better off rerolling at Scholar of a more utility based spell.
