Correct, mages cannot dodge. They do all sorts of gyrations while casting but those are required for the specific spell being cast and dodging would require actually breaking the spell's incantation. HOWEVER, mages can solo quite well if they will learn to use defensive (fear, stun, blind, others) spells correctly.Razz wrote:Another thing is that when doing melee, you have a greater oppotunity to dodge an incoming attack. When casting magic you allways get hit. So in soloing, I would suggest melee.
After a certain point, however, it's nearly impossible for fighters or mages to effectively continue soloing.
