Description

The Arcane Blade is a warrior who has been touched by the gift of magic. Their use of magic is innate and not really studied; as such they do not naturally regenerate mana and must use external means of recharging.

They can cast spells from a limited selection but have the unique capacity to 'channel' their attack spells through their melee attacks.

They are adept with two-handed weapons, for the sheer destruction they can bring. Their most important stats are: Strength, Cunning and Magic

Strategy

The Arcane Blade is a hybrid fighter/mage that can trigger spells with melee attacks thanks to Magical combat (category). You will want to invest in that tree for offense, but you need to put at least one point in either Lightning (talent) or Flame (talent) to have an actual projectile to proc Arcane_combat_(talent). For defence you will probably want to use Aegis_(category) in generic talents which saves valuable class points for the rest of your talents. Another good options is to use Backstab_(talent) for crit-fest, as it synergizes with your Arcane_destruction_(talent) very well.
