Anyone else finding the Mage specializations (other than spirit healer) completely fucking useless?
Arcane Warrior: unless you plan on playing the game on the same char long after the story line is finished your going to be gimped by your stat points since you'll need to spread them out evenly among dex,str, magic.
Blood Mage: Thought this was going to be sweet, and the final spell you get for BM is pretty sweet, but to cast any BM spell it cost the mana equivalent in HP. Not too helpful, esp. when you're getting your ass kicked by a horde of dark spawn.
Spirit Healer: I have Wynne, and this is probably the best char I've gotten so far in the game.
Shapeshift: I mean, please. Morrigan has this already, and it gimps the shit out of her when I use it. Becomes totally worthless.
p.s a little nugget. Have your tank run into a group, cast force field on him, and at that point you can cast your tier 4 fire spell on him and everything around him will take dmge other than him. Enjoy using that. Almost makes most encounters too easy now.
