Original DRG editorial guidance
Which path suits you?
Editorial playstyle directions, not tested allocations.
- Signs
- Prioritize casting and resource management; watch enemy responses; good if you enjoy changing magical tools.
- Fast attacks
- Prioritize movement and short sword openings; avoid staying in a combo after the opening closes; good if you enjoy timing.
- Alchemy
- Prioritize preparation and consumable effects; read toxicity before combining; good if you enjoy planning.
- Hybrid
- Choose a main damage approach and support it with tools that address weaknesses; avoid spending points without a clear purpose.
