Battle mage?

[Cairdeas]

My Elezen is equipped with Marauder as her class. But has mostly all of the DoT Thaum and Conj Spells equipped. All the Magic Potency Accesories she can fit, Mnd, Int, Pie gear, and stats pushed to those three and Vit.

Two Dots and a Axe Weaponskill and most monsters are done.

I was wondering something, with the current armory system and point allotment, is there anything stopping me from using a GLD, put all points in INT, MND, equip only THU and CON spells and have a heavy armor, sword and shield wielding mage?

I leveled thm as my first 50 and then got to 40 on conj. Now anytime I play to level a DoW at all, I pretty much do this, and have been doing so for a long time.

Some may say your m.acc will suffer, but frankly I don't really notice. I also disreguard anything anyone says about spell damage droping. I say this because when I was a level 1 archer casting poison/bio/dia II or banish/scourge II the difference betwen 750 and 680 in damage on a level 10 mob becomes highly irrelavent when its total HP are 590.

Sleep from mid/late conj 30s is handy on any class. Any DoW benefits from all the absorbs too. Paralyze as well.

This is such a retarded justification did you read it? You're basically saying, "It's awesome because at level one I can use a level 50 spell on a level 2 mob with capped out stats in everything(and likely twinked out also in your scenario).

Play that at 50. it don't work. Don't be retarded.

Reimburse me the cost I paid for my disc and I will play it your way, otherwise shut your pie hole friend.

I earned the high end spells with the time I put into leveling the other classes. It is an armoury systems designed to allow me to do just that. If you do not like the fact that I use cross class spells that I earned, well tough crackers cry baby.

Whats being retarded your assuming to tell anyone how they can play there own character.

Here here!

I get really tired of it. I really wanted a system where there was no restrictions on cross class when they original described XIV's Armoury System, I was kinda upset there were so many restrictions but still you do awesome damage cross classing.

XIV was supposed to be a Horizontal Leveling Game not a Singular Vertical game (like WoW)

It's possible, put in enough Int for mag. attack, Pie for magic acc. and equip a sword that offers high magic potency (and yes, there are a few with such as hidden stats.) I can't say it would hit like a Con or Thm's spells though, and you wouldn't be able to use AoEs. I used to include Thunder in my action bar as an arc, mostly when in a crab party, I'd get resisted more often, but I could continue to deal some damage when the crab raised it's guard.

On that note, my Archer has somewhat high max MP for a DoW (573 at r50, and 628 with my usual gear) my mag. potecy is 17 (given by my bow) and mag. acc is 117 so my elemental spells won't land as hard or as often, but it sounds like it would be adequate for DoTs/heals/buffs at least.
