Guide End-game Combat Guide (use Of Weapons In Combat) (pre-gavel)

I've decided I should share some techniques that can help you in many situations of combat, no matter the class. We will not be talking about spells or Skill Builds, we shall focus on... Weapons!

I assume many players do not look at the factor of using weapons and weapon enchantments to their advantages and rather rely on their spells or brute force, but I will tell you that wielding multiple weapons at once is extremely beneficial, especially in overworld dueling and tough boss fights.

Let's start by taking a look at my hotbar.
As you see here, I am carrying 3 weapons at once. You may be wondering, why should I carry 3 weapons at once? It's simple. Each weapon has different purposes in combat, meaning that each one has different enchantments on it.

As always, your first weapon should be your main damaging weapon. Remember that this won't always have mana steal, meaning it should only be used to dish out large amounts of damage simultaneously until you run out of mana, and then this is where you will need your second weapon.

(Yes in my hotbar this is my third weapon when I took this picture, just ignore that) Your second weapon should be like a secondary weapon. It should be effectively any weapon that deals reliable damage AND has mana steal. You will need to use this when you run out of mana to continue dishing out spells as Mana Regen will not help as much as it will recover it too slowly. Fire aspect II is recommended for this weapon as it will deal damage after dealing blows, and it will last as long as you keep attacking that mob, even without using this specific weapon. I don't know for a fact if fire damage regenerates your mana with mana steal, someone who knows will need to tell me if I'm correct about it.

Your last, and least used weapon should be any weapon, preferably a Depressing weapon, that has knockback II enchanted on it. You will not need to use this very much as it only deals knockback, as the enchantment implies. It can be used to push mobs away if they get too close for comfort or it can also aid in strafing your opponents if you want to learn how to do that, but that's for another guide.

Hopefully this guide has been helpful in any way. As always, constructive criticism is appreciated.
Good luck fighting out there.

 

I like the idea.
But with my rubbish luck on enchants I do not think I would get anything with decent mana steal.
I will keep this in mind.

 

Mana Steal has no variance; items with it will always have 1 Mana Steal.

 

I wonder if this will change tho, like more or less mana steal

 

pls, i play mage differently and im stronger than you

 

lel the weapon that he said should have mana steal or mana regen on it had none of either
