I'm not complaining that the game is over because it's public access Blah blah. But as it is there's a need for some heavy balance. Bring me more damage and make me more comfortable Dark And Darker Gold.
Magic Missile is THE best attack for PvE. You can easily kite and even reposition using the other two most powerful magic spells available in the game Invisibility as well as Haste.
Take your weapon off when you walk to accelerate your pace further to ensure you are in a better position. Simple as that.
Magic Missile, Haste, Invisibility are a mages bread and butter. By the way you can utilize a specific dagger quarterstaff, or magic sword to make up the lack of melee damage.
That means you can be a dancer around enemies and then damage them without wasting even a single chance.

I played and enjoyed Tarkov until I understood it and started doing a little better. This game seems to take inspiration from Tarkov in the loot system, but does not have the same gameplay. There's a difference between "You received sniping because you ran through the open areas while fighting scavs, revealing your place of residence" as well as "this flying insect took 2 lightning bolts and two ice bolts strike to kill you in 3 hits". The former you can learn from and apply to. But the latter can't be learned from. You shouldn't need to go through circles or backwards. Or lure attacks Dark And Darker Gold for sale, and then return. I'm a wizard. If I can't do damage then what am I worth? Is the meta really "use every single one of your spells in each room , and meditate prior to you proceed"?
