CRIT appears to be a very niche build for specific situations. Doesn't seem to work with fire mage because of dots or frost because of lack of synergy. Lightning looks good though.
It looks like there may be opportunity to create "lucky hit" builds which are a whole new thing... still a bit unclear as to where this is all leading.
so fire magic are more of DoT heavy huh.
I kind of get it about the unclear status of damage mechanics it since the game is new.
this is getting me hyped hehehehe.
yeah there are a ton of damage multipliers.
you can increase fire/ice/lightning separately.
you can do more damage depending on range
crowd control
there's even one for dots specifically and "burning".
or "core skills" or mastery or conjuration nodes
the level of customization is going to be epic
