Elemental Empowerment

Alpha-2 Elemental Empowerment ability.

So you might be wondering, well how am I going to get all the way to the number of status effects I need if my abilities are on cooldown and I need 10 of them to get there? Well, the wand combo is- or well your weapon combo in general on the Mage is very good at doing so, because it will take the elements of the last spell you cast and for about a five second period or so apply that element in status effect applications to the enemy as you're attacking them. – Tradd Thompson

Alpha-2 Mage skill:

Base skill

Whenever you cast an elemental spell, your weapon attacks deal additional damage of that spell's element and apply a stack of the corresponding elemental status effects to targets hit. Casting a spell of a different element switches this effect to the new element.

Basic attacks

Alpha-2 Mage demonstrating a Frostbolt, Lightning Strike, and Wand weapon attack combo.

This is a single Target projectile attack that applies two stacks of Chilled to the enemy; and then after that hit him with a few wand attacks. Now you'll see that you've gotten a Frozen status effect on him and then he timed that really well there... in that very last frame you'll see that he hit him with a lightning effect... So that's a good way to get your burst damage if you're rotating your spells and your elements the correct way. – Keenan Reimer

Basic attacks are triggered for the equipped primary weapon by pressing Q or left-clicking the mouse (these buttons can be re-bound by the player).

• Players can select which weapon they wish to use as their primary weapon for basic attacks.
  • Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged weapon and melee weapon slot for basic attacks.

• Different weapon types have different basic attacks.

• Weapons with projectile attacks are capable of blind firing without having a target.
  • If the player is in action camera mode and their reticle is over a target, they will be able to soft lock onto that target, causing projectiles to home to targets who are within the correct range/angle.

When you have your weapon and you utilize a basic attack, you can blind fire that weapon, if it has a projectile associated with it, without having to have a target. In addition, if your reticle in action camera mode is over a target, you will have a soft target lock and projectiles will home to that target if within the right angle of direction. – Steven Sharif

• Sequences of basic attacks trigger the combat animation montage based on the weapon type.
  • Using a skill other than a basic attack will in general reset the weapon combo system.
• The developers are considering per-use consumables/buffs that apply certain rider effects to basic weapon attacks.
