So I’ve been trying a bit of auto-casting with the Mage
There is Static and Enchant Weapon, which both cast 2 other spells by themselves.
However, neither seems to be able to trigger Sun and Storm passive. Which makes it unappeling early game.
Also, there is no option to increase the range of Static’s auto-casting so you are stuck in melee range. While its fine when playing a SpellBlade, the lighting blast itself isn’t a good option since it’s not a melee skill so it loses a lot of damage boost.
Different problem with Enchant weapon auto-casting Elemental nova, both of them are not very compatible. Enchant Weapon does not boost Elemental nova in any way and Elemental Nova is not useful when playing a SpellBlade. Same as above, elemental nova isn’t getting boosted by the majority of the Spellblade’s passive.
I believe this idea of auto-casting is not wrong, but its under-performing compared to the other options we currently have.
