    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.

    From what we've seen so far I would expect them to be stat sticks, or your last ditch swing then miss and die.

    There was a little bit of talk about clickies changing things up and would hope that a rare staff would get some cool ones.

    If I understand what you are asking...  Caster weapons will not have an auto-attack ranged attack, that I am aware of.
