How Mage skills work
Fireball and Frostbolt strike targets within range. Arcane Missiles has multiple possible targeting behaviors, while Frost Nova and Arcane Explosion hit enemies around you.
Mage talents and build planning
The Mage talent trees are Arcane, Fire, Frost. Allocate points across the trees in the DPS calculator to compare supported effects with your selected skills and equipment.
Look at the number of targets and the range of each spell when comparing Fire, Frost and Arcane options. Ice Barrier and Polymorph add utility that a direct-damage estimate does not measure.
Skill descriptions above are based on the v0.135.1 game snapshot. Values and conditional effects can change with your run or game version; see the data notes for limitations.
