Did they change it in the last patch?
It was more or less same as in BG 2? Looked fine to me...
It's one of the better spells for a simple reason, it has no concentration.
That alone makes it better than most, before magice missile characteristics even apply.
When we talk about reworking spells, i would point out to the sea of edge case spells that all have concentration and are bad because of it.
Perfect example is the druid class. Larian has EA Data i'm sure they could see what community is not using and could improve those.
I bet we all use the same cookie cutter spells like Magic Missile!
Not sure whether it was the very last patch, but yes it changed as RagnarokCzD says because the three (or more) missiles used to take different arcs to their target, which meant that sometimes you could hit with one or two missiles but the path was blocked for others. Whereas now they take the same path so this problem doesn’t arise. I didn’t actually mind the fact that sometimes it wasn’t possible to hit the same target with all the missiles, but I suppose it didn’t make a lot of sense. But it did used to look better and more like BG1 & 2.
Magic Missile is hard to pass up in BG3 just as it was in BG1&2, but as Ussnorway says enemies currently lack the ability to block it with Shield. Once they get that, as presumably they will, then we’ll be forced to be more creative with our spell choices which I do see as a good thing.
