I'll lend you a hand!

@DrTasslehoff

there's no way I will spend 4 skill levels just to get a staff for money when 1 skill point in fungal arts will allow the same thing. Also, I question whether it's a good thing to go melee, while as a mage, at higher difficulties. And I"m sure you'll have better weapons to use.

 

Im actually doing a vamp mage build in Going Rogue diff too. I'm using staves, vampi, blood magic, astrology, armor (useless, would swap), archeology and fungal.

Without fungal, i'd be very dead by now.
