Even the Cleric needs to get in close, being the medium armor class. It also seems to be the ONLY ranged weapon. It uses a ton of MP, so the cleric will have an advantage there later game, I guess. I've heard you get flamethrower types, gauntlets that cause status effects, etc. You start with a projectile, grenade and area blast gauntlet. My understanding is that later in the game the gauntlet can be either modified or maybe you find other gauntlets.
You get your 4 or 5 basic spells and a gauntlet. I think the Cleric just starts off with a bit of an advantage on the mana pool, not sure if he uses less mana or regenerates faster, etc. The Cleric is the most magical, though all three classes have magic. I'm still pretty early on, but I don't think magic is a huge focus in the game. I still haven't got the game, but when i do, i plan to mostly focus on magic, how does magic work in this game ? didn't see much talk regarding that topic, is there a mana bar ?
