One thing I forgot to add is if you solo on mobile, offcasting is also terrible. It is much much easier, even with worse gear, to solo melee mobile imo.

Not literal "defense" like from armor, but resistance to attack from that school of magic.

Your rank 40 Ice Mastery should make you take 40% less damage from that school.

edit: Your are a perfect person to test this.
Throw in a low tier ice charm in the well.
Use your main & one with rank 0.
Have both characters take a bunch of hits & record the avg's from the ice attacks of that same mob.
Don't wear armor but some +hp gear should keep you from RiP. Healing yourself will keep from getting booted to town.


No, profs doesnt do anything but giving dmg atm.

Only Mastery from gear applies to resistances.

I know I don't understand what you've been doing with your life. I thought you were 25% immune to magic.

And if he were 25% immune to magic in LS it would justify what he’s been doing with his life? 🀣

Fish definitely help, but if it's a group where the melee clickers are slacking off then there's no reason an off class caster should have to waste his fg spent on mana fish just to keep them satisfied.

If you have a decent group and the off class caster has decent int/mana gear then everything should work fine. You can have absolutely ELITE off class casting gear, but if the group is not clicking or if someone keeps going afk then it won't matter you'll need fish/glyphs anyways.

I think it just comes down to having people who click. I run decent int/mana gear and when we do guild only climbs I don't run outta mana as long as all 5 are clicking and we are not the best 5 clickers by a long shot.

If you get near leveling and you run outta mana, just swap to your melee weapon for that last bit until you level.

I wouldn't recommend off class casting though unless you have decent + gear for it.

What is offcasting? I guess its a caster, but what does the "off" come from?

Casting on classes that aren't main skill casting, mage and warlock are casters, others are off
