The Mage deals magic damage from afar and is the master of areas: Blizzard, Meteor Shower and Elemental Cataclysm hit whole groups. With a staff or scepter in hand, the basic attack itself becomes a magic projectile that reaches 6 tiles, and the staff's damage adds to spell power. The tree splits into Storm (areas), Projectiles (single-target and control spells) and Arcane (mana, staff and double casting). He is the most fragile: he has the lowest health and armor, so he needs to keep his distance and use Frost Touch and Stone Shackles to hold back whoever gets close.
Tips for playing Mage
- Fireball recharges in 1.5 s: it's your go-to spell.
- Arcane Pact trades health for mana when it runs out mid-hunt.
- Staff Mastery and Autocast only work with a staff or scepter in hand.
- A better staff raises your basic attack and all your spells.
- Wear items with Intelligence in their name.
