I've started playing this game in a co-op with some mates but we ended up not being able to align our schedules and we only got to like lvl6.

I've since started my own solo game and I'm enjoying it a lot. I'm currently running as a 1h melee with shield and it's quite nice.

I'm lvl10 and I've started to encounter those wraith like mobs. Jumping and attacking doesn't seem to work since I can never reach them even when they seem close. Plus trying to dodge their projectiles is quite difficult. I therefore have to use a wand to kill them.

Do you guys end up speccing into battlemage just for the sake of killing these types of mobs?

Or you end up giving up on melee and go full mage?

Any tips appreciated :)
