Editing Martyr Mage (section)

== Setup ==

The template below plans to obtain the leadership skill so as to be able to use the Horns of Leadership to increase damage output. However, there are other possibilities to consider.

==== Template considerations ====
# [[Summoning]]. This allows a needed boost to damage output as well as providing distraction tactics while in combat. The Specialized life magic means that the player may cast Vulnerably spells for the minion under their control. This is likely the best choice for a Martyr mage, especially given life magic is the "hot" attack skill and complements summoning with life magic vulnerabilities  for the summoned creature's targets.
# Specialized [[Sneak Attack|Sneak Attack]], with the aid of Specialized [[Deception]] provides some extra damage output for those that prefer a non summoning build. However, given that most attacks will be from the front, the additional average damage over time is only 3% (20% x 15% = 3%), so using the horns of leadership is always better when casting the Hecatomb spells, and slightly worse (by 2 points when casting Raven's Fury, assuming a player health of 400) 
# Specialized [[Melee Defence|Melee Defense]] is highly recommenced, given that the spell Raven's Fury can only be useful when casted close to targets; this offensive attack is the most damaging attack available in later game play, dealing at least the amount of health the player currently has, against  8 targets surrounding the player.
