For me it's Battlemages
>>727694525Im more of a necromancer/warlock but I respect your choice
>>727694525BASEDLET ME FUCK SHIT UP WITH SWORD & SORCERY
>>727694525I'm more of a cleric myself.
>>727694525Same, Battlemages are the best.
Avowed was the only game to make this archetype fun in an action format btw >but dark messiahrose tinted goggles
What games even allow decent battlemages? Feels like 9 times out of 10 you're way better off to commit either full mage or full melee/physical
I always go spellblade unless it's the kinda game that forces you to play some kind of charisma bard character to see all content (Persuade, lockpick, etc).
>>727695936Skyrim with mods.
>>727695936Guild Wars 2 Sword elementalist is pretty much the "best" iteration, sadly it's in Guild Wars 2.
>>727694525Might VS magic is a false dichotomy propped up by BIG WIZARD to sell more useless first party books. A true-blue hero could always fight and cast and steal, because that's what a real adventure demands. But sadly, the human centipede of creativity has progressed so hard that some """people""" use videogame magic as a baseline even for conventional fiction.
>>727696208That's the only character in GW2 I played for any extended periods of time but it gets boring fast>>727696072Can't be bothered to find 20 skyrim mods hoping one of them will make the playstyle fun and not just overpowered to the point I steamroll everything
>>727694525>shit melee damage compared to a true warrior>shit magic damage compared to a true mageWhat's the point?
>>727694525fuck yeah
>>727695814what about dragon age
>>727695814But enough about dragons dogma 1
>>727698297Versatility.If you're a true warrior you can't do shit against mobile ranged attackers.If you're a true mage you can't do shit against enemies with anti-magic/counterspells.If you're a battlemage you can counter both archetypes.
>>727698297the only quality that matters in practice is how good you are at killing shit
>>727698297In Dragon Age: Origins, you could become immortal as a battlemage by putting up every permanent buff in the game and killing everything with a death aura. I like my battlemages where I get to wear the best armor and use the most practical spells so the game plays itself. It makes me feel intelligent.
For me, it's max strength brawler
