Generally I play on Adept-Expert when I restrict myself to other aspects of the game. So I guess I only go play on master when I fully want to use vanilla cunning and everything available to survive.

But after trying the beta 1.9 patch I'm finding it impossible to use destruction magic as a primary my primary offense even for a pure mage build. I'm feeling maybe the damage multipliers aren't that well suited to how I play. Or maybe is it really that higher difficulty settings is supposed to nerf low-level magic, for the user and bump up those for npcs?

Also can anyone input the damage mult for the legendary setting?
