Runemaster sad story

the saddest thing with runemaster is that no one is actually fighting using runes :frowning:

Because most of invocations are crappy or even totally unplayable

the mage in general hasnt received any real love since pre relase. theres a ton of passives and other things that are just not meaningful enough to even bother using, or stuff that is good but just wildly anti synergistic. as for the runes, the only way ive ever played or seen runemaster played is using immutable order since theres literally only 1 viable rune order right (cold/fire/cold) now unless youre playing brand of deception. And the runes you have to stand on to benefit from are laughable…if you stand still youre dead.

Yep, I really wish mage would get some real love, its the only class I play.

How you define ā€œany real loveā€? There were quite a few changes in 1.4, quite a few in 1.1 & 1.2 but yeah, I don’t think it’s had a full rework.

all 3 classes are lacking when compared to others. basically if not for spark charge no one would be playing any mage. it’s sad.

look at runemaster, the entire class is designed around runic invocation, everything else being only utility spells, and you can’t play runic inv because basically nothing pack enough punch to handle endgame content.
In the end we have the same 3 builds since beta, hydra/ anything stacker brand of deception / strengh mirror bolt always with fundamental criterion and reowyn staff. Any other runemaster stuff is basically useless or bugged as hell.
last patch had some hope with gordian prism, but no, its not worth anything. :frowning:

same issue for sorcerer, no solid content cleaner build since mana stacking static orb. new black hole is fun and meteor always was but they arent very good to build with. The rest of the spells ? utility only :frowning:
