Hey guys, this is my first post here. I just started in SR4 (with limited exp in Shadowrun in general) and I'm playing a mage. Im having lots of fun with my char but there is so much to mages that it seems like I'm not even scratching the surface. I have a couple questions, and I would appreciate it if you would lend your expertise.
1) Why go astral? It seems like you can get most things you need done just by perceiving. 2) Some people on the forums here said that mana bolt is a MUST for mages. Why is that? 3) Mages seem like they really shine when they creatively use their spells and spirits. What are some combos that I should consider? 4) Am I such a noob that I'm not asking the right questions? What else should I do/know? Thanks in advance, ya'll rock my face off! |
