Swords, But mages kinda suck because you take too much dmage when using high level spells so maxing out tougness would be a very important thing to do!

I have completed the game with two mages now, and I've used a Hammer. However, it's slower... but my favourite!

Also, shame you get many scars as a mage, due to the amount of hits you take. Scars + Magical tattoo is not nice. :(

I'm sorry... but is there an option to have no equipped weapons at all? :O
I tried to do that all the bloody time, but couldn't figure it out. Couldn't see the option.

Re: what are good weapons for a mage???

No you're pretty much always equipped with a weapon from the very beginning. In my opinion, the weapon you use as a mage won't matter. You'll want to spend most of your points in will so that your spells charge faster. Throw a good amount of experience on toughness and make sure you get roll and perhaps block. If you're putting almost everything into will then you won't have many points left over for accuracy or physique so melee and shooting will not be efficient tactics for you.

My mage character was female; since I didn't want her bulking up, she had absolutely no physique. She carried a katana (which she used I think.. once) and a flintlock pistol (which was also rarely used...). With a few exceptions, most enemies will attack your wraiths if you cast Raise Dead, giving you plenty of time to charge up a higher level spell. You could also try Chaos to confuse them while you charge up. Carry plenty of potions and ressurection phials and you should be fine.

If you really are going to be totally mage, and not use a weapon, why you should need to know what weapon is the best? 8-| And roll is really recommened and spells like the raise dead and/or time freezing. Just try focusing at two spells in the begining, one to attack and one to protect

What weapon u use doesn't matter if you're a magician.

I think some of you are missing the point. They asked what LOOKS good on a mage. I'd have to personally say the hammerhearst (oakfeild demon door) as it looks sorta magical and mage-like. It's has a fairly decent attack too, although I spose that doesn't really matter if you wanna be a mage.

Well, actually there are best weapons for a mage. On my mage I'm still using the sword I got from pub games because it increases my spell damage. I think that's a good weapon for a mage.

It's only available from the out of game pub games. Pretty sure you can't get it if you havn't paid for and downloaded pub games from xbox live.

All-in-all the Hammerthyst IS the best weapon for a mage as not only does it look mystical, but it also holds the Barkskin augment, which lowers damage recieved. That comes in very useful when charging for those ultimate spells.

Just remember-- it has no effect on non-Will-using dogs.

Doesn't the Barkskin also give you more scars, too? I can't remember.

Force Push is god. That and raise dead. Use them, and you can usually avoid hits. At higher levels of Force Push you might take a bit of damage before you kill every enemy within range (or at least knock them on their asses for convenient headshots); but not for long. And Raise Dead is an excellent distraction. And awesome against lots of balverines.
