Gear priorities and examples
: Heavy Combat Arts (Blades/Armor) and White Magic (Life/Boons). Focus on one melee weapon type to avoid spreading points too thin. Attributes : Prioritize for heavy armor/damage, with enough to maintain auras. Steam Community 3. Elemental Mage (Ice/Fire/Mind Defense)
: Focus exclusively on a single school of magic. For ultimate end-game power, Black Magic is the clear winner. An experienced player's top choice for the entire game is Black Magic , specializing in Death and Necromancy. This path eventually unlocks game-changing summoning and crowd-control spells that can even freeze enemies. White Magic (Life, Nature, Boons) is also a powerful choice that can make parts of the game much easier. spellforce 1 best build
