    Concentration Sucks

    So, put yourself in my shoes for a moment. Your character is completely maxed out, no skill points left, wearing decent armor, and has every spell in the game. Trinkets charged… +7 raw int, +3 raw psy, 7% ecu damage… and if a wolf catches me in the woods it’s still a gamble on if I will live or...

    Let's put the MOUNT back into Mounted Magery

    What I’ve observed whenever this gets brought up to Henrik is that he immediately talks about how magic can go through armor and that there will be more magic schools on the way (13 schools total). The problem isn’t magic itself or the damage it does with a single shot. We all love that part…...

    Final thoughts on Mage before the Testing phase is over and it all counts

    So what you’re saying is that your specific build of probably a bulging sheevra should be nerfed? I agree. Since int scaling got changed a few months ago without rebalancing literally anyone else hitting 130+ int, we’re now left with not enough damage to “make life easy” and not enough dexterity...

    Mage PvE spell suggestion for lighting

    Also true. He’s also the same person to tell me nothing is wrong with magic and we’re too OP. Wonder why he’d need more MANA then?

    Mage PvE spell suggestion for lighting

    So what I’m hearing is you want lightning to completely change as a spell because it will be in the basic spellbooks on release and your preferred farming method is killing risars. Because that’s too hard for you to do solo efficiently, you want to change the entire spell? Bad approach, bad...

    Final thoughts on Mage before the Testing phase is over and it all counts

    The fact that you used that picture as your poster child for “oh look what he’s wearing” is honestly ridiculous. My placoid lore wasn’t even 100 and I was using that armor because it looked nice and was literally a meme. If I’m actually concerned about my health I’m using Kallardian padded...

    Dec/Jan Roadmap Discussion

    Henrik said in discord they are considering other casting options. We're talking a combination of projectile and hitscan. It seems they do not have a definite stance on the issue. As we remember from mo1, many spells were hitscan when they were really projectiles in the animation. Here is the...

    OLD MO1 spellbook with labeled magic school tabs

    The labels were done by me and were pretty easy to figure out. Only questionable ones were demonology and symbolism. And even then they seem correct.

    OLD MO1 spellbook with labeled magic school tabs

    This is the old spellbook found deep within the MO1 forums long ago and almost lost to time. This is being revived for MO2 in hopes that the same schools of magic will come to life in the future.

    Profession skill points, multiple characters and multiple accounts

    Unlimited primaries will never happen.

    Profession skill points, multiple characters and multiple accounts

    - From what we have heard, there will be no extra slot purchases. 1 Character per account. - Professional skills are split for crafting and combat basically. You have a separate primary pool for both. - Multiple steam accounts will be needed most likely due to the way it links. (if that is even...

    My review of the combat / changes so far.

    Offensive play is going to get some buffs. Defensive play was focused on to figure out the right balance and will be left the way it is right now to get more casuals in the game to learn. The goal seems to be to leave defensive combat the way it is for the most part and to improve from here...

    Nights still too dark

    Night should be dark! If you need to get stuff done in the real game, you do it at night. If you can't handle night time then do it in the day but with more risk because everyone will be out and about.

    My review of the combat / changes so far.

    Combat has come a long way since the start of MO2's alpha... but we're not quite there yet. Parrying: Not great. 5/10 Blocking is considered a parry for far too long. You can hold down block for a good 2 seconds and its still a parry. The fact that you can parry hits that are literally behind...
