Relying on the player to be a bit light on their feet, this build relies on moving around with magic in order to pick at any exposed or weakened enemies. But if the player pushes it even further, and dedicates skill points toward Shock Wave and Seismic Shock to put enemies off-balance, then the player will have a build that can knock enemies down with ease as they cleave through their armor and health. The damage alone is nothing to sneeze at and is the core strength of this build. With two-handed weapons already having a massive damage output on their own, this damage output can be maximized with skills like Iron Grip and Steel Wall. Two-Handed Heavy Weapons: As the player can probably tell, two-handed weapons are how this build deals most of its damage.Armor Breaker, for instance, allows the powerful attack to deal more damage to armor. One-Handed Heavy Weapons: While the player will likely not stay with one-handed heavy weapons, it can still provide some useful perks.Combine it with skills like Holy Bulwark or Shield of Fury, which add more effects to the spell, and the player can give their character an impressive set of buffs that can increase their damage resistance and fury generation respectively. Shield of the Enlightened: With this shield increasing and regenerating armor for the duration of the effect, this skill is a must for a battle mage who is actively engaging in close combat.But the main interest in this skill tree is the Shield of the Enlightened. But despite the stasis spell being a decent opener, it does go away when the player gets hit (which they will). ![]() As such, the stasis skill tree is where most of the character’s magic skills are dedicated. Stasis: Spells in this build will be focused on hindering enemies and protecting the caster instead of dealing damage.But depending on the specific build, some players may want to focus more on willpower since it focuses on lengthening a spell’s duration and mana regeneration. So do not neglect the character’s mental power and willpower attributes. Make sure the player character has a good amount of attributes dedicated to endurance and strength, as these will be the primary attributes that will allow the player character to both take in and dish out damage.īut naturally, any battle mage will need to invest in their magic as well. ![]() In which case, the biggest issue is health and the inevitability of getting hit. Which in turn means that in general, the battle mage will be engaging in a lot of close-quarters combat. But while battle mages can cast off spells, it is not at all uncommon for mages to use their weapon as their primary means of offense. Battle mages are supposed to combine elements of the strong warrior and the magic-wielding mage.
