Playing a Magic Class ?

[Noble Ten]

Really early into the game and I find I run out of mana so quickly ? As my basic attacks eat so much mana to kill 1 person.

I choose to play a magic character cause the devs dont beleive in in sheaths/holsters or having weapons on your back. Its so unimmersive to pull weapons out of your ♥♥♥, then shove it back in.

Anyone able to have fun playing magic ? Does it get better later in the game ?

Magic is OP. You can increase magic dmg and mana at your attributes. Mana reg with necklaces.

vigor skill adds hp and mp regen. plus willpower skill for more mp and to wear better necklaces(not all of them are for mp regen; i find the harmony one is great and come in different levels) mental power skill will increase you magic power too so it does more damage per hit so you would need less casting to bring down targets. also as you add you points into the magic section of skill tree some spells will become lesser cost for mp when they are fully skilled out if i remember right.

The "magic" class is supposed to be paladins, not full on mage. Magic is a way to enhance the action, not replace it
You could buy a lot of ammos for guns though.

I use a camera mod and still get all the achievement. So it should be safe.

Early game, magic was quite poor. I didn't really enjoy the damage until I got the aoe stasis skill that also debuffs magic resist.

I've been doing fine as a mage, but I'm only playing on normal though I imagine it's still viable on harder difficulties. It's easy to run out of mana, you just gotta use magic potions. Sometimes I'll just switch to melee to finish off mobs if I don't want to use a pot. With science attribute you can make your own potions. Between crafting magic potions and those I find, I have way more than enough magic potions available to use.

I don't know if it's just my game, but I feel like I had the "whirlwind of shadows" ability for faster shadow missiles since the start before I even got the ability. There was only a brief period of time right before I got the ability that my shadow missiles seemed to be casting really slow for some reason, and I thought maybe it was a bug, but I soon got the whirlwind of shadows ability and it went back to fast casting.

magic gets better. i am using only magic and its pretty strong one you get along in the story build the skills and use better rings and necklaces. i dont run out of mana as fast now and i have a necklace that regenerates it pretty fast.

I noticed in some off teh upgrades. theres a -10% mana cost... is that it ? For the basic magic attack, 10% off is the best you get ? or am I missing something ? 10% is nothing :/

Finished the game with a pure mage build - the more you level up, the less you need other weapons, up to the point that you don't need them at all. The only thing the mage is heavily reliant on is magic potions, but you can craft those easily and in bulk and just chug them during battles every now and then.

On normal my pure mage is destroying things, just stick with it.

A bunch of people claiming magic is a support tool... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, you're just bad! Magic is amazing and it wrecks face on extreme, be it against normal mobs or bosses. I have a video uploaded with my mage build, check it out if you don't believe me.

That is sooooo wrong lol. the mage class in this game is the most OP class. Nothing can touch you once you have lightning ability. if technicals craft for their traps and throwables mages only need mana poition and could destroy everything without taking any dmg. Paladin is a hybrid weaker version compared to mage.

[JimmysTheBestCop]

Yeah full mage doesn't need weapons or even armor. It's more for aesthetics.

Once they get lightning and become nightcrawler they are never touched in combat.

Only really had to chug potions against bosses so I didn't have to wait for regen.

But you'll basically never run out of potions so chug away.

make sure to utilize your Q ability as often as possible with comboing your main attack and stasis
