Magicka melee DPS advice pve

worrallj · May 2019

I know most Magicka builds are ranged, but I've been trying one from xynode that's melee https://www.xynodegaming.com/off-balance-templar. I really like it overall, except I can't get the hang of being melee dps in harder content. I feel like when your doing DPS up close and personal, your bound to take a bunch of damage and I feel I'm just to squishy and constantly dying.

I've got great self heals & use the damage shield, but still find my health disappearing in seconds. Any tips on how to adapt your play between melee and ranged?

mostly it comes down to avoid dmg areas all together.

dont stand in red aoes....jeah this again ^^

know mechanics for example the 2nd Hof Boss, when he does the slam into the ground, which spawns 5 or 6 balls of lightning travelling away from him, if ysou know its coming, try to avoid them.

use defensive skills -> templar rune (and stay in it as much as possible to gain 50% stronger major resistance buffs)

If healers dont heal meele camps -> flame them

na joking, but srsly, healers need to know that there's a meele camp, and 1 healer should focus on healing the meeles + tank.

every content is doable with meeles, even vCR+3 and vAS+2, it just requires the points listed above
