Why I think magic is the most boring form of combat in ao

Game Discussion

5 magis * 8 spell slots = 40 spells

Imagine charing your blast lol, cringe

22

all 40 of those spells arent original at most maybe like 15
also that is late late game with multiple updates

23

Different magics → different spell use → same spells are not the same if they used in different magics

and plus - we’ll have much…MUCH more lost spells over time, so gg ez.

24

Deepwoken literly doesnt let you customise lol

25

Fym?

26

In the 5 hours I have played it there was like no way to customise your spell

27

no wonder

28

If the supposedly game-changer feature doesn’t show up in 5 hours then I don’t consider it a game-changer

29

meh mage is a classic ppl love the classics
+big boom visuals

30

I got the spell it just didn’t let me customise

31

it’s still an early game we don’t know anything other than what vetex says and trello but Idk maybe I’m wrong

32

Just saying this again, warlord builds will likely be the most customizable class due to being able to choose which fighting style you have, what weapons you have equipped and because fighting styles are fully customizable, also what skill/technique combos you use. Plus fighting styles will have lost techniques so magics won’t even have that.
The only thing I could see Magic having over anything else is ancients(obviously though fstyles and weapons will have the equivalent) and synergies

33

ahem
savant

34

it is boring until lost spells

35

you can lol?!?!
modifiers (sparks/general ones) and gems
you can do it when you get the items which are easily obtained and a mantra

36

Flashy visual will get’s old when you see it for thousands of time, so it’s not a really good justification

37

I mean I guess, but you’ll just have 2 magics and 2 fstyles at the cost of damage, no infusions and whatnot

38

customization =/= damage.

39

agreed, magic currently is just obese bullets tbh

Ok but uhhh hear me out lost spells, magic shape (this still a thing?), special end game Magics that you can only build spell by spell (might also have this wrong lol) I’ll admit it’ll probably be the least interesting at the start but it definitely won’t stay that way.
