being a mage

[HunterAnubis]

so friend bought this game for me ages ago since we played arc conan 7 days yada yada.... I figured Ill try the mage role but the game feels like its not even built for it.

I try venturing in to the wilds as a mage and obviously giant wolf rushes from nowhere as its usual in this game and hitting him with fireball in that 3 person camera is so painfull since its so off center from you that you miss several times and even if you hit by the time it gets near you its starts to (circle bug strafe?) around you making it imposible to aim at it with that horrible camera angle rendering you helpless.

Im not sure if theres a first person view that would help to deal with this problem but so far being a mage has been really painfull......

Sooo I dont want to scare you away from this game because its great and has tons of potential.
However in its current state, new players are going to have really hard time due to an unusally high increase in creatures at starting cities. To add to this, being a mage only has 1 option and thats the lightning spell. fire and ice are weak. archery is a little better and the best is going to be farming the city vendors quests for an iron sword.

I just restarted on a server with some other people and it;s starting to get popular and everyone is really helpful. Going solo will be challening so come join US Knight 47 and we will gladly help you out

ahh so magic is crap good to know

[Rocket4750]

Do you have crosshairs enable it makes targeting a little easyer

[Ceridian]

Yeah, magic pve wise is not really that great in comparison to melee combat

[sebo]

best bet is to put all your points into attack and start killing everything with melee.. at max attack you harvest everything tons faster and kill panthers and whatever in a matter of hits.

magic in this game has always been garbage and the developers basically rendered magic even more useless by how they nerfed them and how easy stuff breaks so 4-5 shots per spell, only to be broken and repair needed every 3 mins.

Yes , Magic has been put in the support role. You can support the melee attackers. With the nerfs to magic and the "boost" in the strength and numbers of the animal population. Magic will get you killed.

Mage role got nerfed hard alot of people whined about how op it was so they nerfed the range of your abilities and the lightings travel speed. Honestly its stupid how bad they nerfed the spells

[Yom125]

get yourself a horse and a spear. only magic even worth making is light magic so you can see at night, runes of warmth, the heal, magic extraction for shards and cobweb to slow enemies if you are trying to tame.

There are better spells that drop, but they're just stupid rare. These have better durability and damage, but they're extremely rare. And it's so much easier just to level up a panther or something and just tear into everything, or even just smash things with a 2H sword.
