Even though I've been playing BG since it was released, I must admit that I have almost never played any arcane spellcaster as my character. In addition, the mages that are in my party are usually relegated to dispell/breach duty so my warriors can smash.
I am very aware that I am vastly underplaying what the mage is capable of, but their spells, order in which to cast them, and in what situations to cast them, confuse me.
I was hoping that some BG vets could come along and give me some tips on general mage gameplay. For example:
- What to do against fully buffed enemy mages in mage vs mage combat.
- Tips on spells that you may think some people may not know (gated summons cannot be killed via Death Spell like other summons can for example).
- Powerful or fun spell combos you employ.
You get the idea. Any tips welcome!
