Indeed. Think i have to read those books again some day soon
If the weapons actually had some animations on castersā¦ Like now i am playing Warlock. I wear a dagger forā¦ Well for reasons, but when i cast drain life for example, the current animation allready would look great IF the character would actually draw that blade to his right hand and then begin channeling the life of the opponent to him through that dagger. That style of animation would surely fit spells like Drain soul, Drain life and mind flay.
But many of the animation were just refurbished and i fear there will not be new animations anytime soon so the hide option would be preferred until then.
I would also like staff being used like Raistlin and many other mages did, but i would also love not having a weapon at all as a mage. If i had to choose, i would just hide the staff as the current animations for casting using gestures is pretty good.
The mage arcane artifact has a spell that you cast while usin the staff. But itās a bit bugged, after casing the spell the staff keeps sticking to your hand until unsheath-sheath it.
That makes a whole lot of sense. I think it would be really cool if there was more interaction with weapons for casters other than when you bonk something in melee range.
