My mage is still running around in the gear she left the mage tower with...conehead sucks LOL

What should I be on the look out for with her?  I've got her specializing in cold, healing, glyphs, an occasonal hex, and virtulant walking bomb.  She's got group heal as well...thinking about taking arcane warrior or blood mage, but can't make up my mind there.

Also, I've been having some issues with friendly fire....stuff like accidently freezing or mass paralyzing my own party members.  Oops!  Any tips on how to...um...not do that?

Go to Denerim and visit the Wonders of Thedas shop. You'll find some pretty decent mage gear in that store.



Well the best tip I can give you is not to... erm... aim a spell at your team members. Just pause the game and carefully aim your AoE spell.

Haha yeah, I paued and carefully aimed my cone of cold...and promptly blasted my party members as they ran through it.  Was kind of funny actually, but sucked without threat being built by Alister.

Ok some useful spells :-)

Cone of Cold is a very good spell. Did you know that there are Spell Combo's? For example: if you use Glyph of Paralysis and then Glyph of Repulsion on the same spot you get a massive paralyze combo.

Arcane Warrior requires a lot of planning and experience so I would only recommend it for a 2nd or 3rd playthrough. So if I'd were you I would go for Blood Mage or simply no second specialization at all.

Cone of Cold + Virulent Walking Bomb is a very deadly combination. You can use a spell like Rockfist or Crushing Prison to instantly kill a frozen enemy (shatter them) which triggers the VWB spell.

Yep, I did that spell combo to paralyze everyone around me...didn't realize it was a friendly fire spell.  again, a funny moment.  Oops! 

I like that VWB set up...I'm just concerned about blowing up Alister in the process.

Arcane warrior does sound like fun. Something about being dang near unkillable while slashing and nuking is...intoxicating.
