The Greatest Mage Tech

the mana issue is most games use mana as resource to use abilities depending on situation and its a resource you need to manage, in terraria its just a battery or stamina

Dear Sorbet,

I can help but notice that your not-very-recent video from like 3 years ago showcased some respect for your own and the viewer's time when participating in a challenge run. You can just pick and choose to ignore parts of a challenge for it to be more fun and/or engaging, and it's not really disruptive to make up or change rules as you go along as long as it's reasonably within the spirit of the challenge. These things can be established before you start but if not it's not the end of the world I guess. Also I like your dress.

Adequate,
A nonchalant viewer

blood magic as a solution to the mana problem? they should look at noita the most mage centered game.

ancient forbidden cuff tech thats been around forever, still good tho

but doesn't getting hit stop your natural regen? feels like a big deal in higher difficulties were every point of health matters, especially for a class as weak as the mage

this is so much funnier to me than it should be

@Sorbet Cafe, I have a take: Hallowed is mathematically better than Beetle in Legendary late game, specifically not during bosses. I did the math on Beetle [Shell] vs Hallowed armor for late game gfb [/True Zenith / FTW] with 109 defense hallowed and 132 defense Beetle, using Cross Necklace, worm scarf, and Frozen Shield. Hallowed gives more time to recall in every single scenario I tested with high damage (400, 700, and specific 1 shot damage values for hallowed >700). I tested each combination of having or not having life force and endurance. Every single time, hallowed gives you more time.
I think this is a SUPER valuable bit of info for hardcore players. 🙂 I've always been a fan of hallowed armor, but I have been doing a softcore run of True Zenith as practice for hardcore, to learn the seed. I died to solar pillar because I used beetle armor and got 2 shot, and told the Terraria Fellowship of Mortals server that my 7th death was to wearing beetle armor instead of hallowed. They jumped on me super fast, so I proved it.. 🙂
Hopefully you got through all that, and I think (even as a small note) that mentioning this could help lots of people.
Thankssssss!!!

its interesting how many players dont know about this. this is the way ive been playing mage since 2014…minus the spikes. i always thought it was just the "normal" way to play mage until i started talking in the community more and found that basically everyone just chugs mana potions all day and im just sitting there thinking "but….dps…why would you do this?"

"I really like using cuffs"

mage tank.

The sad part is the way they have it set up i only ever use magic to inflict debuffs such as cursed flame or ichor. I basically mix it into my attack loop but i only ever fire a spell for a second or 2 which feels like the way they balanced/designed the game to be played. Magic is a sidearm, not a primary in most cases.

Sorbet is right, the mana system just sucks.

this is some galaxy brain stuff

waiting for 3 seconds of not attacking
"im gona make a whole video about this"
