Does anyone know if caster weapons are just stat sticks? As far as I can tell, there are no wands or wizard staves. Is sitting to recover mana/resources the deal? Being in melee range and using feeble melee weapon attacks is never a good idea if constrained by conditions or debuffs precluding spell usage...
Whenever I play as a caster, I think of Raistlin Majere from Dragonlance. So, I like the idea of a frail body but powerful magic ability. I think this also help explain how we balance magic classes with non-magic classes. I get this is not the only way to balance caster and non-casters it just seems to be seared into my brain.
I have no idea how Pantheon plans to portray casters.
