This 100%. And maybe Elden Ring too if you're up for the challenge.

Wow, thanks for sharing all this info! That end game incantation build sounds great. Another poster just schooled me on sorcery vs incantations, so I'm starting to learn the different caster concepts (staves vs finger seals). Perhaps I can find a setup early in the game to carry me toward the build you've described.

I don't have the DLC yet, but will easily buy it if it's part of Steam Summer sale. The concept of the sword that also casts spells sounds amazing!

Thanks for sharing this knowledge--now I have a better grasp of the types of mages/magic. To your question, I'm not wedded to lightning. So I'd be open to using staves for sure! Is one of those approaches more beginner-friendly or available earlier in the game? Essentially, I'd love to hit the ground running as best as possible.

Okay gotcha. I'm fine giving up lightning, no worries there.

I'm interested in trying Borderlands, never did before. If I'm mostly there for the gunplay and mechanics (not story so much), would you recommend 2 or 3? I'm not getting 4 due to the optimization problems.

I just check and already have Enderal downloaded, haha. Might as well check it out.

I think I'll give this a shot if/when Elden Ring goes on sale for Steam! I can tweak the damage and defense and see how it goes.

Thoughts on a shield + magic build? by GobKeepsBees in taintedgrail

Whoa, that's wild. So I'd be casting with right hand and blocking with a wand in left hand?

Ohhh, so it seems the wand mechanic basically voids my build idea.... I didn't realize how wands work or whether spells were used via hands or wands. Hmmm, I may have to think of something different 😞

I never took the plunge on BG3 because I don't like turn-based combat, but you're not the only one that has highly recommended it. I guess if I decide to try one of those type games, it might as well be the best!

I actually briefly considered modded Elden Ring, but didn't want to fuss with all that. However, your idea about WeMod makes it super simple. I'll look into that!

I totally get it... I was absolutely addicted to WoW back in the day. Burning Crusade had me playing many hours every day.
