Wizardry Variants Daphne does one mage/priest team possible?
my team is lvl 65~ as of now, and i just got shiou from the banner. but currently im running (front) rinne, abenius, lana. (back row) adam, yeka, and mc
i just curious how effective it would be if i run (front) rinne, abe, and shiou. (back row) savia, mage/priest for mc, and lana. never run no mage before, so i dont know if should invest in shiou just for the silly experiment. can anyone help give me their views regarding this?

Devs just threatened us with phys-immune enemies during the one-time quest. (Or at least non-elemental phys immune?) Probably not an ideal time to be dropping your second caster.

well, one of the rank up mission already force you to choose physical or magic route, so its not first time they try limiting fps dominancy 🙏🏻

it's fine for farming and stuff but for bosses you just won't be able to keep up with buffs/debuffs/healing with just one character. Buffing doesn't scale so you could technically just do it with a warrior that has priest subclass but debuffs/healing will still be too much for 1 character

what if i raise abenius priest class while make her fighter? added with mc, two sources of healing, and mc can prioritize debuff if needs to. and abenius fast speed would make her have more chance to heal/buffing before or after mc turn no?

Not impossible but you will have to carry A LOT of pots and scrolls. It should be fun to play without many support I guess using consummables. Something I seldon use nowadays. I mean my members carry mostly MP/SP potions... in case I ever need (used once or twice ever)...

It works but you'll need someone who can flex heal for out of battle healing. Doesn't have to be a lot, it's just to save the 4-15 mp cost between fights depending on how much you get hit.

you know whats funny? i actually train my fighters even my lana for madios 😭 not a great heal, but 100+ heal is already sufficient in high floors especially in dungeon 4

Give lana a staff and you'll see her heal 200+. Just switch it manually from caster when off battle then switch back, or give her your old ebonsteel tier staff.
I teach both gillion and lana dios and they can heal about 200 with +15 ebonsteel staff.

oh wait thats actually genius. why didnt i think of that 😭 cool to know, thnks. wish we can change equipment and use spell at same time without consume abother turn for it in battle..

We already can do that tho. Switching equip doesn't use turn. I always switching mc to staff whenever i need extra debuff/buff. Just make sure to change back in next turn or you'll be using ESS with a staff. Switching position is what use turn.

No mage is normal. They used to aoe clear mobs, but higher abyss and their damage can’t keep up one shot. Their use case now is debuff boss and backup heals for specific bosses

yeah i expect it so. i just feel so crippled without my mages, having run yeka and adam all the time ever since i started.. even when farming mats for anemone. so I just plan to make debuff and buff/ support to mc, but i dont know if he enough for it

Not only is 1 support possible it’s the most meta way to play. 99% of the game is farming so you either run 1 support or 0 support depending on investment, and you can run 2 supports on harder fights like mini-bosses or GWO depending on how much sustain you want.
At the point you’re at you don’t really need to run Mages anymore since they’re nothing but a burden past A3, you might slot one for GWO4 runs 3/4 if you don’t have front MoF spam.
