War Mage [Skill Adviser]

essi2

Since I have to level a new toon anyways to get the crates and the chest, I decided to test the Skill Adviser.

I just got to lvl10 at which point the Dungeon Finder unlocks without the Skill Adviser for War Mage advising putting a point in Puncture.
Which seems ill-advised to put it in the language of the Skill Adviser.

We have enough problems with people 'tanking' w/o having a taunt, this isn't helping.

RavenSworn

Isn't the war mage the 'tank' build in skill advisor?

essi2

@RavenSworn Yes, which is why the Skill Adviser should probably almost insist you put a point in Puncture before you get to lvl10 or at lvl10.

So far it has done neither, I'm now lvl 14 and it still hasn't asked me to put a point in Puncture.


EDIT: Typo, replaced 'Not' with 'Now'

Ah I misinterpreted your question. My apologies.

This has to be a staple for all tank builds in the skill advisor. Unless that wasn't the intention and a tank in their mind is just a guy with higher health stats than the others.

Just went to Davon's Watch to unlock Undaunted because I want to do the dailies.

The Skill Adviser is advising Inner Fire, which no one new to the game would even know exists let alone that there is a Undaunted skill line, because the game starts you out in Vvardenfell which doesn't have a Undaunted signup location most likely because it has no noob dungeon and will likely never have one because DLC dungeons are all above vanilla dungeon difficulty.

AND the Skill Adviser tells you to put points in S&B which indicates it wants you to use S&B and has it's own taunt for the most part superior to Inner Fire.

Don't forget that it suggests crystal blast over frags for sorcerer

essi2

It doesn't suggest any Morph of Shard for the War Mage.

Which Sorc build does it suggest Blast for?

The skill advisor was obviously designed by the same morons that made the death recap.

That would be Wrobel, the same guy balancing the whole game. I don’t even.

Don't forget that 'spending magicka to activate combat abilities will increase your combat effectiveness'.
