How do I effectively play as a magic Lorna without:
1. Fragging my henchmen?
2. Getting over ran and raped if I'm solo?
Also whats the recommended minimum Wis to get before taking on magic?
Because 1 damage fireballs don't cut the mustard.
I haven't played in quite a while, but if things haven't changed too much with magic (I'm guessing they haven't if your fireballs are doing 1 damage):
1: You don't use henchmen, magic is too dangerous to use with allies. The best defensive magic against swarms/fast enemies is an ice aoe around yourself, and it's too dangerous to use in a pinch with allies.
2: You need a full wis build to use magic because of the way defense/damage works in this game. Get the Wis glasses if you don't already have them. If the game hasn't changed much, the later enemies can be difficult even with full wis.
Magic was overall pretty unbalanced, I remember the dev said they wanted to do something about it, dunno how that went. If planning to use magic, you're going to have to gather and/or hire a henchman to clear out quests for you until you're strong enough, level 15 I think unlocks magic? It's quite a grind, but you can't afford to put any points into physical damage.
Yeah I just checked the changlog, seems the dev has mostly been focused on improving the Succ playstyle and hasn't touched magic. Shame
I played this to death since early builds, so I'm not too eager to jump back in just yet. Maybe if magic ever gets some love i'll return to this since that was my favorite playstyle. Good to see the game still progressing anyways.
