There was a mage robe thread a while ago, but I suppose it died.



JUST WANT freaking same variety of robes like warriors had plate armour. Same with weapons.

[marbatico]

i want armored robes nao!

[Vulee94]

Pointy hats, no more, no less.

[Lintanis]

 Definitely with you on the Robes hopefully wont just be a change of colour 

[Collider]

I am going to play as a mage Hawke first.

Does anyone think Cone of Cold will still be so powerful? I thought crowd control was very important in the original game, and you could fire off CoC almost at will. Follow up with Crushing Prison, Stonefist, or any critical, and the difficulty felt like it dropped a level.



I for one wouldn't miss the lampshade hats, or the mage robes. I didn't even care about the Arcane Warrior abilities. All I wanted was platemail instead of pjs.

Given that we're apostates, some non-robe options would be nice.

Going by the dev chats on the PAX Ustream Mages are going to be AOE and CC just like origins so should imagine and a similar mix just able to upgrade the spells more 

[Ulicus]

I hope there's at least ONE condom hat. Just as a joke. Alongside another pair of faded pantaloons.

[KinnNotap]

I'd like to be able to spec into having a staff in one hand and a sword in the other, that would be the pinnacle of badassness


Edit: Ok, and hats

Pointy hat will only add to the horrifying image.

and some grey robes and a big, pointy hat

[Koffeegirl]

I plan to play a mage first because they are my favorite class in every game. I'm really looking forward to upgrading spells. I think this will make us feel like more specialized mages and I'm excited for mage finishing moves.....my mage was a little jealous of Alistair in DAO.....

Edit: I also hope for better hats:wizard:

To further the joke, they could make this one hideous piece of headgear the most powerful artifact in the game.

[lunarknightmage]

yay!! we get our own mage appreciation thread!!!



I like combat/melee oriented mages ( Arcane Warrior ftw ). So, in DA2, I would like:



1. More Robe variety, and ARMORED ROBES. In origins, only Templars got armored robes, but they looked a little bulky. Duncan had a sleeker armored robe, but it was only available to Duncan.



Trailer Hawke sort of had an armored robe, but his armor was cool nonetheless, and I want that too!



2. The staff/sword from the trailer and promo art. And, I want a good variety of staff/swords.



3. Cool staff melee attack animations. Both regular attacks and special "spell attacks." Also, cool staff/sword deathblows!!



4. Some kind of hood or cowl, like concept art of Morrigan wears........

YES.

[Ciryx]

Better looking robes.



Some dynamic magic blocking moves if attacked in melee combat. like a shimmering shield that flashes etc.

[marbatico]

we should make a banner that says: ''i aprove hoods for DA 2'' (this was one of the things i really missed in DA:O)

My first origins character was a Mage and after seeing Alistair doing his finishing again and again was thinking why cant my Mage blast someone apart in slow motion 

[andar91]

My goodness, where to begin? Well, I suppose I'll start off by saying that in every game of this type, I play a mage or similar caster 99.9% of the time. So I freaking LOVE mages. What am I excited about? Well, here we go. Most of this is from Peter Thomas' thread, but not all.



1.) Better robes.

2.) Cool spells, both old and new. I realize some have been cut, but I think that there were a lot that could have been eliminated and/or consolidated into other spells since we have the upgrade system now.

3.) I'm psyched for better differentiation between the elemental categories of spells. According to Thomas, Fire deals the most damage over the widest area, Cold slows and stops enemies over the smallest area with shorter range, Earth has high impact strength, and lightning deals moderate damage over areas (though not as big as fire), ignores friendly fire, is very fast, and has the potential to stun. I'm excited about this because in Origins all of the primal spells felt very repetitive to me.

4.) Mages can now attack at melee range with their basic attack, which makes more sense to me. It should be noted in case anyone missed it, that this is the same damage as their pew pew pew attack (though that is now a bit different I believe). So they still aren't warriors.

5.) Mages have finishing moves.

6.) They still have healing and CC abilities, though we don't know to what extent (I'm not worried).

7.) Spells will no longer overlap as much as they did in Origins; they are more unique to themselves.

8.) Spells can be upgraded, allowing you to increase the effectiveness of certain spells that you like. They're trying to make this roughly equivalent to getting a brand new ability (a made-up example he used was upgrading a single-target spell so that it explodes and damages nearby enemies instead of just one).

9.) Animations. We received an example from Thomas about a mage slamming her staff into the ground as a finisher and sending a wave of fire into an enemy or something like that. He also stated that as far as what they do to cast and stuff is much more visually interesting and I'm really excited. There were really only (with the staff equipped) three different animations in Origins.
