Hey Guys, I am almost to 60 on leveling a mage and compared to almost every other class I have leveled thus far mages feel to me somewhat, tame?
I am not sure what word to use as I am not referring to the gameplay mechanics of the specs I am purely referring to the visuals… as a master of the arcane arts I just dont feel like mages have any Oomf.
Some problems spells are the Orbs, frost and arcane orb; they are just wieghtless floating well orbs that dont feel like they interact with anything it doesnt register or look like they are actively damaging anything that they hit it feels very floaty and weightless.
I would also love to see more of the mages magical power manifest in other visual aspects of the class maybe as you build up arcane charges flowing scrolling runes start to swirl around your charcter and coalesce to from the arcane barrage when you hit it.
Maybe frost and fire can have more frost and fire? It feels like the barrier spells are the only visual flavour that is tied to the player model and those are fairly boring as such .
Tl;Dr mages need more power and theme in their visuals. For the most powerful magical class why do they look so boring all the time?
Let me know if you agree and what improved visual or themeatic elements you would like to see
