Are the Cripple and Numb charms viable ?

Question

Hello, i am about to unlock a new charm on my mage and i was wondering how viable the paralyzing charms are, both on team hunts and solo.

Has anyone tried them ? How did it go ? Are they worse than the damaging charms ? How much worse ?

Answer 1

I can't see any use for this charms, specially for mages.

Since you are a mage, you can attack from distance using spells/runes, therefore, is not a big deal creature walking away from you. Those runes would be more useful for a knight, who has to chase creatures that stay on distance.

I would leave those as last options on charms, and go straight to damage runes, which will actually make a difference on hunts. Cripple/Numb will change absolutely nothing for you
