Playing a wizard in the Switch version of Pillars I and I don't understand the combat mechanics at all. I have been playing on, but using the AI scripts. I would like to learn how to play without them. Here is the problem: When the game is paused, and I'll aim a spell like the one that makes the ground slippery or the one that lays out a sharp and dangerous ice, and then unpause.
And then the rats or whatever rush forward and bite me, and then I unleash the spell… at the area the rats just left. Not fun. What are some best practices to play this game? Everything I try do just whiffs and misses.
Also to what extent does people use AI scripts? Why / why not?
The only similar game I've played is DQIX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies and there I enjoyed the AI scripts, switching between them for various situations, switching off when I needed more control etc. But here since I don't have any success at all with the core mechanics of the game, I don't dare switch them off.
