Larian Studios Forums Divine Divinity (English) Help/Tips/Tricks What weapon?

When I get the full game later this week, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> I think I'm going to be a wizard. Now what kind of weapon should I use also what armor(or what kind of non armor) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

its up to you, doesnt really matter, but ya cant go wrong with a sword and shield! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I play a mage too. Now level 40...
For weapon; I use daggers from beginning however there are not much of them. I bought "Wizard's Long Dagger of Cold" from Geoff when I get to Ars Magicana. Until then used one or another. Now holding on "Small Nobleman's Dagger" as well as the one above. I also have the "Short Sword" which has 5 charm slot and some good stuff, in stock. With right enchantments it will be really powerful, I think.
For armor; I use every slot available including shield. I have nearly 90 STR because I play as a battlemage. With that STR points I can use every piece of armor in game. By now I have 3 pieces from "Dragon Armor" set(Shield, Belt and Gloves), Armor of Larian. All of them are quest items and they are very powerful.
Just a little piece of advice:
Do not let your STR and AGI become too low. Develop your mage in a way that he can handle himself for at least a few seconds, the game is not that easy.

BTW, the game is great, enjoy it...

thanks guys! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> Is it better if I get a weapon that would help me out in a tight spot like if I'm soruonded(sp) and I'm out of mana I pull out my sword of huge woopass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" /> and kill them or should I get a weapon that has good enhansments to me like +mana and stuff like that?

You will seek what you will find oh great mage Kel_Dar,
there is a multitude of weaponry
available for your killing pleasure,
be sure to use lots of "Alt" while doing lots of Xploring

you made the right choice 4 a great game <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/party.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

i played as a mage and tried to stick to staffs in the beginning, you know, cause staffs are all magey-like. but then i realized staffs suck, and i wound up using various sorts of sharp pointy objects. i think i ended with a kick-arse claymore.

thanks guys, I guess I will go with the best that I find until I get something really good! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
