I think this is only true part of the time. Like I said before, I think AoE is what's making the game too easy for people. Fairly quick spells gives magic users a quick stun and initiation, so you can pull off something more devastating without that much risk. Chakrams and faeblades are too strong and too spammy. They give you too much AoE, which ministuns and provides protection from attacks, so you can basically just spam them without worrying too much about dodging or timing. Of course they look really cool, but I think the combat experience from those two weapons is a lot less interesting than daggers, even though daggers are often less effective.

Daggers require much better positioning and timing because your AoE is basically only a straight line (until the finisher) and it's not that powerful. If you just run in the middle of a group, you'll never get to your finisher because enemies will be swinging at your back and you can't actively protect yourself while attacking. You have to dodge and charge into positions where enemies are isolated and you can take them out quickly. With faeblades, you can run in the middle of a group because it gives you a 360 degree attack, so you're largely protected from incoming melee attacks since the enemies will be knocked back before they land it.

I still want to try scepters, though.

stupid example. pirating a game from Electronic Arts(i would never buy a game of them) is NOT the same as murder.

Also watched some Dj wheat and this game looks just so average and not worth my time. skyrim barely was

i think some of the "easy game" complaints stem from they player being able to lock the enemies into knockdown-standing up animations with ease. At least this holds true for daggers.

Chakrams do the same but hardly dish out physical damage. Also i dunno bout anyone else but do packs of wolves just rape you if even one catches you and dazes you the rest are right behind attacking. To where you get permadazed and die lol. Least this has happened to me a few times on my mage lol.

first DLC is just some armor and weapons, you basically pay 5$ to cheat in a single player game.

Anyone find the game to be a WoW 2.0 other than the combat system it just feels so generic rpg. Do quest return quest do quest return quest. Just feels like a single player WoW and the dungeons are fairly straight forward... I dunno if il invest to much more time into the game imo

Im very confused by this type of attitude....what are you looking for a in an RPG? What else can a quest be other than to complete a task?

I love this game so far, only put in 12 hours or so but I see a great many more being poured in.
