Favorite weapon?

[cjwagn1]

I'm wondering what you guys found to be the most enjoyable weapon to use? I personally perfered the wand.

Hard to tell for me, I really just farmed and was just afraid to attack, couldn't get Ghost Orchids that much since I spent alot of time trying to get in the game. Going to buy it. Just hope when you stick to a server that you won't have to restart a character when logging out and back in said server. I Liked the second tier axe I used, looked shiny.

3rd tier of staffs. I would probably love the end game staff but wasn't high enough level for it. Only reason is because you can equip shadow blast. Its a higher dmg alternative to mana blast. I know for sure that broom and flying will be used in most PvP battles. You can just fly up to someone and blast them off the broom and watch them fall to their deaths.

Little harder than just knocking them off

I liked gloves the most, sure staff was the strongest by far but glove laser while sometimes hard to aim felt fun.
Blizzard while easily walked out of felt fun and was decent to destroying roofs in pvp.
Later spells I did not have access to but honestly gloves just felt fun.

Wand felt the least fun to me, all single target projectiles which are close to impossible to hit in PvP when people start randomly jumping around throwing out fireballs and shadowblasts.

I preferred the gauntlets as they paralysed most npc's making them easy to kill, especially higher lvl ones for easy levelling up. I also feel like a badass Saiyan using my ki (mana) rather than a wand. Plus the end game gauntlet spells look OP. I like the staff too so expect to be using both come the full release.

Would like to know more about your experience with the gauntlets, as the several times I tested them out, mobs moving around or not, with a bit of health it took forever to kill anything, as the dmg ticks were around 5-6 per second.

Compared to what I could do with fireballs on staff, I could kill the same lvl mob in 2-3 seconds with staff, but it took 15+ seconds with the gauntlets, presuming you could maintain the beam on them 100%, and, you drained more mana overall compared to a few fireballs.

The later spells for gauntlets do look OP, but then again, they have a long way to go in terms of proper balance with weapons / spells.

I should have clarified that this didn't happen for the npc's on foot. Those guys lag like hell and as you say impossible to hit.

I was referring more to guardians and dragons who'd stand still as I drained them over time. Easy xp as high levels but not sure if it's supposed to be like that or just a bug.

Either way I felt like a boss intend on using both staff and gauntlets.

So what about regular "knigh like" weapons? I hope there is also the possibility to go for a none or battle mage?

melee weapons are great, they eat everything life with the proper setup.

PvE - Gauntlets. First spell the fire beam thingy is great for just cutting through caves, necrosis at level 30 is ,from what i've seen, the strongest single cast spell (as tornado is a moving DoT not a stationary one) and the final spell (meteor spell) just wipes out whole camps but I can't get it to work on buildings.
PvP - Wand & Staff. This is mostly because rapid firing & AoE while on a broom is the easiest way to win a PvP fight making yourself impossible to hit with the melee weapon (as every spell requires a ground target) and gaunlets have limited range (fire beam & ice storm) or slow moving projectiles(necrosis & meteor)
Structural Damage - Melee. Tornado is very strong against structures and an AoE spell. It does more damage than telekensis with a much shorter cooldown (think it's 5-10 seconds off the of my head) this will most likely be the "raiding" spell once telekensis is reworked but if meteor is fixed (not currently doing structure damage) then it may be a toss up between melee and gaunlets for raiding.
