level 10 blacksmith does give you extra bonuses to the item you make for free though.

purple isn't necessarily stronger than blue

I gotta start reading ALL responses before I answer. Beat me to it Laz.

ShadowcasterEdit

Shadowcaster
Requirements
Finesse Sorcery
55 ----- 55

With this Destiny, you are an adroit magic skirmisher, gracefully raining eldritch violence upon your foes. Your varied attacks deal deep and appalling wounds swifty, without risking yourself at close quarters. Enemies die before they can profane your personal space.
Bonuses:

+34% Elemental Damage
+20% Piercing Damage
+12% Chance to Critical Hit
+2 Mana Regen Per Second
Dread - Guaranteed to Critical Hit vs. enemies in Panic
Drain Mana - Critical Hits restore Mana
Cosmic Retribution - Every time an enemy hits you, his elemental resistance is greatly reduced
Poison Blink 3 - Short-range teleport with Poison Effect Replaces Dodge.

I don't know if you knew this or not....but you can teleport through enemies and poison them.

yea, thanks for telling me ... it's part of the reason i'm taking it

I'm already building a poison based character and hope all the damage/duration increases i have on my equipment for poison will increase the teleport poison damage as well. :)

This game is ****ing awesome just for the simple fact that 24 hours into the game.....you can totally switch up your character if you don't like how it's playing out. Shit....you can switch it out at every level up if you want to.

Totally makes sense...thanks...

btw to hell with sceptres ... was using them for range attack and pulling mobs. Thought since i was magic user that it was the thing to do.

Bow > Sceptre

more slots when you make bows so you get to add more damage ... easier to create reckoning(purple stuff) bonus with simple power attack. Also sneak+volley=easy mob control

plus bleed and poison work great with bow

Sceptres have to be the worst weapon in the game. They're ****ing worthless.

No self-respecting magic-user would use a bow. Don't sacrifice your honor for the sake of a few more points of damage-dealing ability.

Not sure if serious.

Just switched over to Mage/rogue combo. Made a badass set of fae blades that do more damage than my sword, only much faster. I love this aspect of the game.

nah, not if you go full mage and have it all maxed out. It's a great finisher, often get 200+ points per hit, but it does start out slow, you must be a mage for it because of the mana thing.

A magic user can be whatever he wants to be in Amalur, love games like this.

heh ... i do feel a little bit dirty. :D

i'm more of a rogue now who uses magic to supplement his damage. A bow is just so much more functional. It has better range, more useful attacks.

Very unusual for me because i'm pretty much always a pure mage in any game i play.

Bow was too slow for me, of course i'm 100% mage so not sure if the bow skill speeds things up a bit.
