Dark Mage Overview
Dark Mage is a separate playable character with Void Ground and a Pyromancy specialization. Pyromancy removes the restriction on using two staves. Dual-weapon behavior has been fixed multiple times. Status: Confirmed playable.
What Is Confirmed
- Void Ground is a Dark Mage skill affected by area-of-effect modifiers.
- Pyromancy class can use two staves when using the matching set (no restriction).
- Staff + another weapon penalty is now 60% less damage (was 50%).
- Two-handed weapon + another weapon reduces damage to 1.
- Several dual-weapon bugs were fixed for Dark Mage.
What To Verify
- Confirm whether Dark Mage is one of the three launch characters or a fourth unlockable.
- Test Pyromancy dual-staff build vs single-staff build.
- Check whether Void Ground is competitive with Mage elemental skills.
- Separate Dark Mage from Mage in guides; they are different characters.
Build Notes
Detailed skill order, stat priorities and PvE/PvP builds will be added after launch testing or official class data confirms how this character works.
