I haven't tested the validity of this but I hear looking down also protects your head while you're casting with a shield on your back.

Put on a shield and stay near trees. I recommend rawhide or silks for backings to increase your pierce resistance.

Got em

I agree with the sway thing, but I'm pretty sure that's on the way from what Henrik has stated. I disagree with not being able to heal while on horseback unless you mean bandaging or something. An MA is can't use longbows so they are a faster and less powerful foot archer. Sure when they're...

You can solo trolls as a MM too :)

You don't reduce the damage any of you actively block, but it does change the position of the shield so you can protect your head more afaik.

You don't have to actively block, but if they shoot the shield it's equipment dmg

That's fair, but you won't know if it works till you try. Once I get my hands on a terror bird I'll give it a try and let you know 🙂

You'll have to get over that fear of losing things or you'll have a bad time. You can go get another one. You can fit blocking but not the melee skills. In a foot fight a tamer mage should beat a FF unless you can't parry or you have a weak pet. Pets are only bugged against other NPCs afaik, I...

IMO you don't need anatomy as a Dex mage, just use lesser heal, you can get blocking. You don't need daggers if you're a taming mage, that's the pets job (yes I know they don't always work). Have you had the birds chase a mounted person? Do they hit the person/horse when 3speed?

How would you recommend it be balanced then?

Yeah I agree, solo life as a mage is rough and I wouldn't recommend it. That said I don't think a tamer mage is a shitty Dex mage...my Dex mage is a full tamer without sacrificing anything (I guess anatomy, but lessers are more efficient imo) Have you tried getting a terror bird? I'd be...

MA is pretty strong, but you're looking at this from a solo perspective as far as I can tell. Taming is plenty strong in a foot fight. And I'm pretty sure terror birds can keep up with horses (last I heard, haven't tried it). That said yeah, 2 of the skills don't do anything (so just pop the...

That's why you gotta use terrain as well. Find a rock only an alv can jump up, or a cliff only an alv can jump down. That said, I've actually never had an issue running away on my lean sheevra mage, unless they're mounted, or I wasn't managing my stam well.

You're not hardcore enough to brawl a horse to death, get good.

Hard disagree on these two, only in favor of the torches if they have 0 in all damage fields. Soulbound weapons shouldn't be a thing. Everything else is great.

Want a tip? Find an animal in your level range, tame it fully. Bring it somewhere relatively safe (no predators to screw your process up) mercy mode the tame (it'll stop being your tame) then with your weapon out tame it to 1/4 circle and restart the tame. When out of mercy hit it back into...

It's really not that big of an inconvenience tho. Throw a house up in the hills behind kran (they already have) and put a priest in it (when they make that available) now that priest has just changed locations but it's effectively still there. It is open to siege but I still don't think it's a...

This is probably a better solution than adding static camps around the priests. You get the same result (pig armor) without the addition of static crafting tables that gives the red guilds the mobility you're worried about.

The large guilds that own these cities will have spiritist mages that act like the current priests, just no one else can spawn there. They'll still have the mobility of these new camps and still live out of the cities, with a new inconvenience. I'm not against removing the priests once they add...
