I am a poison mage and i am deciding what magic to pick at my first awakening there are currently two obvious choices for me but i am open to suggestions, My friend who i am playing with is a fire mage and i am going for a damage build and i am planning on using the bleeding synergy for 25% more damage with poison but i am stuck between glass and metal.
Glass-Is guaranteed to make the opponent bleed but does less damage compared to metal although it distributes glass shards that if the enemy steps on they also get the bleed effect but is bad at clashing.
Metal-Does more damage but to inflict the bleed effect has to do more than 5% of enemies health is great at clashing but that’s it (i think).
I am decently new to awakenings so please correct me if any of that was wrong or i missed something and again i am open to any more suggestions.
Clashing and synergies only really matter at a very high level of play (PvP & level 4+ Dark Sea, and even then they only make a marginal difference), so you probably shouldn’t worry too much about that for your first file.
I’d recommend getting metal, since it compliments poison’s fast yet weak playstyle with a slow but powerful playstyle, which allows greater flexibility in engagements.
Glass is still a good choice, but unless you’re fast with switching magics and able to consistently hit moving targets you aren’t going to get much out of the bleeding synergy.
Thanks a lot for the help I’m just waiting for my friend before i begin my awakening which will hopefully be tomorrow (he’s only level 98 so it might take a while).
