I would have never guessed that would be effective...

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

Being release day and all, I'm pretty sure there's a good chance none of us even saw you doing it, between the laughing, the exploding, the de-syncs and the crashes.

Ps- Any ball combination spell can be spammed this way. Water, ice and fireballs all. Of course, given that they have no range, without adequate protection, you'll probably just kill yourself.

Iceball spam would probably be super-effective. I wonder when people will start using third party tools(autohotkey) to bring the spam to the next level.

Requires some charging or you catch yourself in the cold effect area.

Found something interesting with vortex: Not only is it the black hole of doom, but you can spray Ice shards around it to send them spiraling madly around the arena while you hide behind your vortex, feeding it to keep it active (add an extra frost at the end for freezing action)

Immediately right-clicking after launching a rock projectile gives it an extra bit of force. Useful for smashing through enemies when they're being irritating.

Hmm.

Went on ahead a bit. Found I really hate level 6. Fought Grimmnir. Got lazered. Magicka closed because it could and it hates me.

I figure pushing the goblins off it the best bet, freezing the druids is best, then Lightning bolting (=D) the warlocks...

Could someone tell me what comes after the warlocks?

I spammed Lightning Bolt at the whole first half of the Grimnir fight. I don't see your problem?

Iceball [ n*(q+r) + m*d ] does not have any AOE if I am not mistaken. It's single target spell. I didn't mean the coldball ( n*r + m*d ).

Lightning Bolt is pretty much the I WIN button in Single Player. It's the same in MP if you can aim it without killing your friends.
