As it stands it from what I have played (still low level), there is not any easy way to create a sword mage blend between warrior and mage. One way of doing this would be allowing for swords to be enchanted (possibly a talent) allowing for it to give bonuses like a magic staff and do damage similar to a sword based of magic. I'm not sure how easy this would be to implement, but would allow for less class restrictions and allow for more cross classing.

there are hybrid weapons so you can get a staff with melee type rolls, or a 2h sword with spell type rolls. best one is still at level 45 called giant sword of justice if i recall off the top of my head. and it's found in dungeons. run boondocks up in azraq a few times and hopefully you get a hybrid staff with melee type rolls

I read the title and instantly got flashbacks from my dragon age inquisition adventures, where your mage character can advance to a class very similar to warrior-mage hybrid. You had your basic long-range magic spells but also ability to kind of conjure a magic sword and launch melee attacks. I used to roleplay Gandalf so hard 

 

In Eldevin this would be pretty hard to make work well. The main issue with these kind of hybrid builds is that you have to divide your attribute points into 2 damage attributes, melee and sorcery in this case. The versatility you gain doing this doesn't make up for the power loss of having just half the points. At lower levels this would work with hybrid weapons that has good rolls like luke said, but more you level up more underpowered you become if you keep dividing attribute points.

 

If Eldevin had swords that used spell DPS for damage, these kind of build might become viable but there's no such weapons in the game yet.

U can go already and mix them together.

 

 

That sounds like that it wouldnt be too effective though, since there would be 2 ways of making damage. U would have to split the attribute points and mess with gear etc.

 

 

New class would be great tho
