Can we find the magus a new trick?

[STR Ranger]

Hi.

The two best low level tricks that Magai pull is either
Intensified Shocking Grasp or
Rime Frostbite

One is all out damage and the other is Battle control+Non-leathalsmite
These are done with a 1st level slot via traits.

Is there another spell we can abuse in similar fashion

Great idea for a thread.
Sorry I don't know any tricks, but I love magus it would be fun to see some different builds.

Two-World Magic, and Brand?

It is typeless damage.

Personally I'd like to know if White Haired Witch and Prehensile Hair Arcana stack, looks like they should but HeroLab doesn't allow for it so not sure if that is an issue with HeroLab or not.

Like to know if the weapon boosts can be placed on Prehensile Hair or not.

Like to know if kobold tail attachments can be put onto the hair and whipped around.

Looked at playing a Magus but they kinda look one dimensional to me at the moment. All scimitar dervish shocking grasp builds...dull.

Well, Humans and Aasimar can use Kobold Tail attachments.

Make a different type then. The staff magus is kinda cool.

I am getting pretty tired of the Dervish Dance complaining. Its like complaining about melee's going 2hand power attack. They are both he most common builds for their respective classes and there is nothing wrong with that but they are far from the only ones.

Whip trip Magus
Staff Magus
Saw a great build for a halfling sling staff magus
Hexcrafter Prehensile Hair Magus (seems to work but there is some argument here)
Skirnir Shield as your only weapon Magus.

There are plenty of Magus builds if one just thinks about it for awhile. Don't get all your builds off forums. sometimes come up with your own.

I'm playing around with the idea of a Strength Build Magus, using Enlarge, a Wand of True Strike, the Magus Arcana: Wand Wielder, and Trip/Disarm attacks for battlefield control.

So far, the idea looks fine on paper but no idea on how it will work in practice. Plus I'm a bit worried on how the build would work out in higher level encounters in the 7+ range.

Arcane Strike combined with the Deadly Dealer feat.

Now you are Gambit.

This is now on my to-do list.

Absolutely. I'm starting a high level game and made Nightcrawler (Tiefling, Diminensional Dervish with Rapier)

Vampiric Touch is one of my favorate magus spells. Temporary hitpoints are a big deal if you're going to spend a lot of time in meele combat.
