Domochevsky: The problem with this, though, is that it effectively reduces the playing field during combat to the little square in the bottom right, since that's where your attention needs to be instead of the actual game screen and the snail attacking you.

Jonesy89: I would be very surprised if he had.

AndyBuzz: Such wit...
I was playing Dune 2, Starcarft, Warcraft, Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake and Dota for years without ever feeling the slightest discomfort on my wrist and, while I would never compete on a pro level, I was quite descent around my circle. I would still play if I hadn't been bored with that kind of games.

There's not getting around the fact that magic is badly designed in this game. As I said would you find compelling mechanic if the mouse cursor would jitter around according to hits and movement or even character morale, if it was included in the game? Or would you prefer to be able to click exactly where you intent to?
In case you fail to grasp the analogy let me make it simple: Introducing artificially hard controls to simulate complexity is a bad concept.

When I first heard about the rune system, I thought it was brilliant. In practice it didn't work out so well.
I still like the game and had it recommended. I just don't forget to mention that aspect which could be quite important to some and, apparently, not so much to others.

PS: Numpad doesn't work. Would be quite good if it did, but since it's a real time game there's no way to designate for which character you press the buttons for.

ERISS: There is no sorcerer in my squad, it solves the some bad design problem.

Argaven: you cant pass the game without a sorcerer , one level demands casting a spell at the exact time

Jonesy89: I can't recall what area of the dungeon that happens in; would you mind refreshing my memory?

Argaven: ah, im not sure i started playing with a new party a couple of days ago,
i think its around 6 or 7 level (im not sure , sorry)

Garran: This part is untrue. There are a couple of optional areas that you will be unable to enter without the appropriate spell, but even those can be entered by using the (deliberately-placed) items that provide casting charges.
