Goblin Mage
Shoots a targeted projectile that applies a debuff that prevents healing as well as applying a movement speed debuff. The Goblin Mage will also channel small AOE heal when low or when a low hp ally comes into his vicinity, healing 200 health and buffing movement speed by 100 and action speed by 300 for 15 seconds. The Nightmare variant fires a barrage of 10 projectiles.
Guide
The Goblin Mage has two abilities
- Homing magic projectile that deals massive damage and a strong movement speed debuff
- AoE buff to nearby monsters with a very long cast time
Magic Projectile:
- While at Range:
- Simply strafe left or right.
- (Observation?) The projectile biases in a right-handed circle, so strafing left while at range might be the easiest way to avoid it.
- While in Melee:
- The projectile will never hit a player crouched directly in front of the mage.
Misc
Given its slow animation cast and reaction to players, it is exceedingly rare that players get hit by the projectile.
There was no record of a death by Goblin Mage until the day of the writing: 09/07/2024. A player of ingame name "feArziw" died from a projectile, leading to the world first message with prefix "Goblin Mage killed". Proof: https://prnt.sc/ZAWQ05omjpKu
It is believed that the player is no longer active.
