Let’s discuss Ring of Arcana
I thought we could try start some weekly discussions of various items. So let’s start with Ring of Arcana and see how it goes. What are some of your favorite ways of using it? Questions on how it behaves? Over- or underpowered? Remember that it also amplify curses which can be pretty interesting.
It’s really fun while playing Battlemage with a Projecting Mage’s Staff imbued with a Wand of Disintegration. With a bit of arcana, you can hit enemies 4 tiles away. Expando staff.
Edit: I forgot to say you need to be a Battlemage for the Wand of Disintegration to give additional reach.
Was about to ask this, does RoA really affect the projecting from Wand of Disintigration on Mage’s Staff?
Yes of does, but you need to upgrade it enough to hit +100% enchantment effect because the range always rounds down. At each 100% you gain an additional unit of reach.
Projecting = +1 reach
Battlemage Disintegration = +1
Arcana +100% = +1
So you can hit things 4 units away.
4 units away… through walls?
No, projecting melee weapons cannot go through walls; only the bow can do that. But you can hit around corners, and around pillars.
Sounds like a fun run if you get Eye of Newt
Indeed. Or play Huntress with that one talent, or Mage, too, after hitting them with a zap.
