A Mage (Fan Art)
The mage is a class specialized in ranged combat, both dealing damage and supporting allies. They use magical staves as weapons, allowing them to attack at a distance without the use of ammo. Unlike the other classes, the mage gains three additional discipline trees after choosing a subclass, as well as gaining additional discipline and power points.
A mage's primary attribute is intelligence, which governs the size of the mana pool, spell resistance, staff damage, and spell focus. Of secondary importance is the concentration attribute, which gives the mage both a higher hit chance and also affects spell focus. A lack of strength, dexterity, and constitution means that the mage has poor physical damage, evasion, and lower health totals, though their versatility makes them a tough, hard to predict class.
A mage can equip a staff, tunic, hat, glove, and a bracelet.
Powers
Like the other classes there are 4 disciplines of powers common to all mages.
- Mental: Basic damage dealing magic and crowd control spells.
- Mana Control: Spells that improve the spell casting and mana pool for the mage, as well as protective shields
- Staff Mastery: Gives the mage additional uses for his staff (damage bonuses and similar)
- Enchantments: Allows the mage to strengthen his allies and weaken his enemies
Mental
Allows manipulating or damaging an opponent using the mind's strength.
