[PC] Mage: Standard Attack

Everything seems heavier in Veilguard for sure. Ive already started cracking up at my Mercar missing the ledges and tripping over things at this point. And pat myself in the back if i made a jump flawlessly. 🤣🤣 but i totally feel the wind up for Mage attacks. 😵‍💫

Yes. I agree with this! It needs looking at.

You’re right, it makes no sense that a primary, low-damage attack would have such a lengthy setup. A slow windup on a weak attack isn't just jarring—it also takes away from the fluidity that’s essential for the Mage class, especially since it makes positioning yourself mid-combat feel clunky. Sure, the three-hit combo option is there, but if it doesn't consistently work and doesn't make combat feel smoother, it’s hardly a fix. 

Your suggestion to make the Mage’s standard attack align with how it works in Inquisition is spot-on. That faster, more responsive attack style would make it way more enjoyable. Hopefully, the devs will take this into account and address this. Whether it’s an unintended bug or simply a design oversight.

Oh **bleep**!Yes! It's like a baseball pitcher's windup. It's awkward af for sure. I dunno if it's a bug, but it really does look like a bug to me though. Just not normal, man. Glad to know I'm not the only one seeing that too.

Yeah that's true. Why is the primary attack slow AND weak? It doesn't make much sense. It should be stronger than a dagger since you're a mage your main weapon should be a staff which should be where your magic is strongest. DA lore also states that mages are more powerful with a staff iirc. The dagger should be less damage. But I don't see them changing this.
