Stupid bugs - Daemonology's tactic for insta summon pet...that isn't insta summon. That really annoys the crap out of me that one. You can't cast it on the move. You have to stand still or you get the "Interupted" message unless you stand still. This is ridiculous. A precious tactic slot for something that doesn't do what it says on the tin.
After much fiddling about, I'm finding now that daemonology is the least non-viable. Given that the lvl40 spell is a channelled pbaoe spell, this is working reasonably well for me. Still way down any damage lists BUT when you work out a decent spell rotation and tactics you can take a bit more damage and kick some out. The toughness tactic is helping a lot vs melee and when combined with the not-quite-insta summon pet means you last a little longer in a fight. Its not great, but its decent-ish.
Once the scenario rotation is sorted so we're not stuck in Serpent's Passage all the time I'm pretty confident I'll find my close-up style more effective. Over the next few days I'll be spending more time in open RvR and will test out more ways of getting myself killed
I've got a sneaking suspicion that next patch the Magus will be Warhammer's master of pbaoe with other specs not quite as shiny despite the lovin'.

Nothing gets around the inherent weakness of the class but combine the sneakiness of this spec with a bit more dps whenever we get the next patch and it could be nasty. Maybe![]()
int doesnt apppear to be scaling properly with dots or is it just me on the damage front...
