Yup.  FIre Mine has huge single target damage and Wall of Fire looks godly if used against paralyzed/trapped enemies.

Why do a Wall of Fire when you could just drop an upgraded Immolate?

Stormcaller doesn't convince me. 300% WD every 15 seconds, meh.

It's free and doesn't take up a mapped slot... Lightning Bolt does 200% damage for 65 mana... I think Strombringer could be pretty useful if you have an extra point to spend...

CC is more valuable than nuking though if DAI follows DA2 in philosophy. Nuking was effective in DAO because enemies had such low health and bosses were very rare and you had absurd amounts of healing to just turn it into an endurance contest.

 

Yeah, and to add to this (with a double post, I'm sorry internet, but I don't know how to quote without the quote button), the enemies seem to have much more health this time around. So I don't think it's that nuking is ineffective so much as they just aren't going to go down with a casual fireball anymore (which I think is ultimately a good thing). It feels much closer to Origins in this respect in the best ways - it seems more realistic, more immersive that there would be a few tough enemies than a legion of foes that fly like skittles at every hit.

Don't underestimate lightning bolt... Have you read the upgrade?

Oh gosh, another double post, I'm horrible. 

 

But was gonna say - I think Wall of Fire panics enemies, so there's a CC aspect that doesn't necessarily exist with Immolate. It's like a Wall of Fear spell.

 

5 minutes till twitch stream in case anybody missed it!

Wall of Fire won't detonate a Static Cage or "incapacitated" enemy (except Asleep, I guess)... it will continue to damage enemies for the duration of the paralysis effect.

Yes, but your mage has to be within 25 yards with enemies, which should only be something for the KE to aim for. Otherwise, your positioning should be on max range. Also random enemy, I don't like rng.

Actually I hadn't... That's a lot of potential damage...

Bah, Barrier is just sooooo damn boring, and it's a part of every goddamn spell in there.

Well, I don't consider Stormbringer to be a "must have," I just think it's decent as a passive if you happen to have some points left over... but I could be biased since I will be playing as a KE.  You are right that a caster would not be close enough to enemies for this to be useful most of the time...

My dalish will be a KE so it's perfect for me .

I'm getting kind of a BG feel from mages this time. Less valuable for pure damage and more for buffing, debuffing and crowd control.

[UniformGreyColor]

I think Flash Fire is going in as well.

[Shevy]

Ui, KE in action. Interesting.
