Hello all
Might , and , Magic , is what this game on the whole has to offer.Well i ask , why does magic sucks so much later on ? im pinpointing mages and the spells of ALL the other classes for example , death wish , asphyxiation , quicksand , etc etc etc.
My first party is 2 mages 3 warriors 1 priest. and now im nearly at the end of the game , and when i take a look back , i see my 2 mages helped me CRAP! The only spell that is worth using is X-ray and for this one spell i raised 2 sucky classes for 22 levels I know you all want reaasons , well , Asphyxiation SUCKS compared to mana cost , Each and every fire realm spell sucks , Water realm's only useful spells are blizzard and dehydrate, wont mention other 3rd class useless spells of other realms will make this all too long a thread. BUT i WILL mention the most sickeningly poor air realm! i mean what is has to offer anyway ? asphyxiation , which lvl 11 piercer modai group with 75 air resistance resisted , and im talking about each and every one of them(yes missle shield is good , but i dont see a WHOLE lot of mobs in this game shooting 100x damage arrows or bolts on party)! fire realm is totaly use less in the later game , and im sure every one knows it.
Ill be short with the might part , my warriors kill and dmg stuff 99.99% of the times , 185 dmg per blow 135 dmg per blow and thing is gone.my mages get resisted like crazy on each and every encounter in the later game.and God , if this is the condition of PURE casters like mages , i wonder how worthless would be hybrids (in magic realm ONLY!)
So plz convince me with proofs that magic doesnt suck in this game , or im quitting it after finishing it with my first party.
Thanx in advance to all those who post.
