>>713373983 (OP)It's the pawns. No other game would even dream about making AI companions smart and strong enough to tank enemies while YOU charge up a magical nuke. Try running a high level wizard without pawns and you aren't firing off even mid-tier magic before a common goblin bonks you out of your cast. It really only works because of those AI helpers.
Or just go Magick Archer and nuke shit without long casting times. Now THAT'S one busted ass vocation.
