Spell casters neglected

Spell casters have:
- No mana leech anywhere
- No life leech anywhere
- No flat damage anywhere
- No runes anywhere apart from armour equipment
- Wand quality exists but ... it does... Nothing


Please, make a hotfix and do something for us. I'm like a sad kid complaining all the time. At least show me you care and plan on doing something to address these issues.

Acknowledge the problem please.

I really hope this gets some attention and not just hidden among all the other posts.

The most urgent issue to deal with is
flat damage and mana leech, because clearly mana regen isn't enough for fast casting spells even with Clarity and potions, because someone decided to make the boss fights very long.

neglected how? I'm playing a caster mercenary and blasting everything with barely any damage nodes on the tree

Not sure if you read the post or not because it's clearly listed there.

There is no flat damage anywhere, not on wands, not on staves, not on tree, not on gloves, not on rings or anywhere.
There is no runes that helps spell hits, but there is lots of them for attacks.
There is no mana or life leech nodes or attributes anywhere, so we have to rely on mana regen or potions and neither is sufficient for a mana-consuming spell.
The quality on wands is pointless because it does nothing. Believe me, I used it on my wand, nothing changed. Nothing at all apart from it now having 3% quality.

What spell are you using and with what supports?
What level/act are you?

but what do you need these for if we're already strong enough?

I'm using spark with conduction and arcane tempo, with orb of storms+magnified effect and flame wall

level 17 mercenary

For example in act 3 there's a boss that is time limited, if you don't kill him fast enough you fail it. On top of that, he stands on Lava so you can't get close to him, he shoots lava towards you too. So good luck using orb of storms efficiently.

With spark you will struggle very much trying to kill him. Your mana potions will run out very fast. I managed to kill him in the end using arcane surge and inspiration.


The boss mechanics is very easy, no problem. But the mana issues is a real problem. I find that the case quite often.

I don't take issue with your post cos your points are true.
but i do take issue with saying that spellcasters are neglected.
cos that makes it sounds like melee classes are having the time of their life.
and oh boy... they are not.
atleast melee monk isn't.

Im confused. What do you mean there aren't mana leech nodes? There definitely is. Have you used the feature to search the node map?

Type in leech and all the leech nodes will blink.
Most are on the right side of the node map.

I'm playing sorc and not presently having any mana issues, but there are a couple of things you have not considered:

1) The right side of the tree is fundamentally inaccessible to Sorc and Witch since we no longer have Scion's center section to quickly path through.

2) Those are all "increased amount of mana leeched," meaning you need a source of mana leech from somewhere else. At present, leech can only be applied to attacks.

Those two facts combined mean that casters are hardlocked from leech as a method of mana sustain.

Oh yeah?
You sure about that? Show me one.
because all I can find is "increased mana leech".
But my mathematics tells me 0*X = 0 so it don't matter how much you increase it if it's already 0, it'll remain 0.
