The mage ability in Bastion seems pretty strong. I’m at the same crossroads as you–I am drawn to Bastion and Ardenweald. I like the story in Ardenweald a lot better, but give the art style in Bastion a very slight edge (it makes me very calm and I need that).Ardenweald is obviously also beautiful.
If Pelagos doesn’t sound like Marlon Brando I’ll be disappointed. His model looks so much like him. lol
it is better for fury or protection
As a Protection Warrior in beta I find the spear works well enough when the target is at 50% or less Health, however the character’s dps and fighting skills seem to be comparable to the old sword and board days in Northrend. I run as a sword and board dps (actually a hammer and board since he is a Dwarf protection speck) and actually do not tank and might not top the arms or Fury models, but it is my style of game play and I prefer that to tanking. I have a Pally tank for that task.
Substituting real social mechanics with artificial bffs who unlock powers the deeper your “relationship” goes… jesus christ.
This is the covenant I have planned on using from the beginning, it’s so pretty. I’m still up in the air about who I will main, DK or mage.
