S grade sword for mages

Don't mean to be ungrateful but why isnt there one?

Winter

Yea give mages more crap. WTH were you guys thinking.

It's exactly what we need!

lol. Nah. We got the Arcana Mace. Need a sword too?

oi buthurt a bit
dang even mentioning mage wpns gets ppl all whiney

Anyway
I woul dsay that the other mage wpns of S grade level will be realeased later, and that by releasing a 1h mage blunt first they did thier best to make all mystic classes happy
we get acumen
orc's can stun
and we all can carry shields

why the heck do you need a sword, you already have an arcana mace.

astetic reasons, or possibly for some misguided Sks?

Dun know Mage swords do great things to SK's I agree.

astetics is the main reason i would get a sword on a mage....lets just say SOM pwns BoMT anyday :), so yea, i think there should be an S sword, doesn't have to have diff stats than lets say the arcana mace, but it would hopefuly look cooler

yeah, I agree... won't be getting an S weapon until they give us a sword or a better looking mace. Can't stand how the Arcana mace looks.

Why the hell do mages need swords? Just give em staffs geez! wth they double as a fighter or something?

There are instances in the literature where mages use swords.

Gandalf and Elric are two that come to mind.

Mages and staves is a bit old fashioned D&D to me.

The merc mages in Diablo 2 had swords :) But seriously the arcana is already one handed mage, plus that funny stick thing is one handed.

omg sov, you used my refferance...Gandalf....i happen to own gandalfs sword, is staff? never, just his sword, and omg is so sweet on my wall, and for the record, there are many fantasy movies where wizards use swords, ad it also makes sense to use a magical sword, if the enemy makes it to close quarters would you rather have a stupid blunt or a sharp and pointy sword?, i'll take the sword for defense and astetics.

Usually people are *for* more choices in weapons and armor. It's not like it would make a big practical difference. Clone wars ok for mages? /rolleyes

But I'd be happy if they gave the Arcana Mace a make-over. That thing is so ugly.. (But I still want one).

Heh arcana isn't half bad, imperial staff is sorta feh too. I'll take an arcana just the same, just need like 21 more levels on the sps.. heh

it seems like they rushed S grade items, where as A grade has the most detail to it

I rather like the look of the Imperial Staff. But as a whole, all the S grade (non-hero) weapons look like they're made of plastic.

...And Major Arcana on male dark elf.... :eek: Looks like something from a 1980s Prince video :eek:

It will be really cool if you could make duals with mages swords, just imagen how cool would it be to have an S-Grade SoM*SoM

omg sov, you used my refferance...Gandalf....

Great minds and all... ;)

i happen to own gandalfs sword, is staff?

Then please be careful where you point it and only had it to people dangerous end down. :p

Why do mages need swords? Because the blunts and staffs in this game mainly look horrible. Either the staff heads are too big, the staff is too long, or there is some weird thing going on between the staff head and the rest of it. Sure there are some excellent staffs such as the crystal staff, but overall they are few and far between, or nonexistent for S grade.

Ya for sure but it also allow you to wear a shield wich is exential against archers, else you just get hit alot more....

So i would say it gives you better protection.

Cheers!!

I would welcome something that reminds more of a "wand" than blunt or mace. It does not need to be so fairy-story like short stick with sparkling star on it's end, skulls would fit better.

the only s grade that looks good is drak. everything else is terrible.

DC + som is definately the best looking stuff in the game.

Elric was a hybrid class.

And Gandalf wasn't really a mage. More like a demi-god than just a mage.

Frodo was pleveled by Gandalf :eek:

Ha! :)

I'd get one :eek:

Not really. Gandalf was OOP for 90% of Frodo's journey. If you'll remember, Gandalf only partied with Frodo from Rivendell to Moria.

No he would come and buff every 20 minutes and he gave them overenchanted weapons to use.

Gandalf never gave Frodo a weapon...

Well, then let's look at it this way.

All of this is fiction. Mages also use wands but there aren't any here. And why not have them use Orbs while we are at it.

The items in question just serves as a focus. It can be a sword because a sword is symbolic.

If you look in the wheel of time series, there are many items in the shapes of all sorts of things that help focus and amplify the users power.

In the end it really doesn't matter EXCEPT if one thinks that mages shouldn't use shields. That is really the question.

To be honest, I don't think they should. But... the game allows it so I do.

Hard to convince someone who is trying to kill you that they should go easy because I believe that mages shouldn't use shields.

The more I think of it the more I have to say that this game seems to be a "mish-mash" of stuff thrown together. Dwarves that don't match when you look at the sexes, orcs that aren't really orcs and should be called something else (which is fine by me because they are "better" than orcs in my opinion), Mages using shields, Humans that run like they have a pole up their butt but Dark elves that run on an angle.

Maybe the Lineage 3 developers will have grown a bit and realize that a more cohesive world is more interesting.
