Awesome post, this should be really useful for anyone struggling with the runemage. I did have a couple of tips I’d like to add in. Just some things I’ve notice during my experience in game.
When I want to cast the IceBolt I really need to exaggerate the point on the corners of the triangle as seen in the good example below. If I get lazy and round the corners, like in the bad example, I will most often end up with a protection spell.
Good Example:
Bad Example:
I’ve also run into a lot of people having trouble with the first portal rune. I’ve found that it helps when you really elongate the middle portion of the “N”. I usually try to make the middle line 1.5 to 2 times longer than the sides.
Good Example:
Bad Example:
I would also argue that there is a better way to draw the Firebolt rune. I think that, by starting at the bottom and right side of the inner line one is able to draw the rune in a much faster, circular motion. You can see in the full stroke example that it’s all one fluid stroke. You just release the trigger at the red marks and pull the trigger at the blue marks. The dotted line shows the motion where the trigger is not being held down.
Start and End Points:
