I main savant too! Here’s a tip -
Imagine running savant as akin to being someone who is mentally challenged. This doesn’t mean that they can’t perform basic tasks like reading and writing, its that they need to try harder than an average person just to perform those normally basic tasks. Tasks normal people don’t even think about when doing.
That is the same with savant. You need to try harder, way harder just to even be decent in combat situations. I know full well that I could easily win a 1v2 using an aoe-centered build such as mage or warrior, but why do I not?
Because it’s unique and it’s cool. Plus its pretty funny when tryhards die to a savant.
The main point is, I’m good enough to still play with it. That may not be the same case with you, but that is simply the way of the savant. That is that, and this is this.
