Storm Legion New Mage Soul Reveal

[Morvick]

Not 100% certain on this but when I was using my shaman/druid cleric i found that the converted sp into ap gave a significantly lower dps bonus (eventhough most of the melee abilities did elemental "spell" damage) and was always curious if stacking dex or str would be more beneficial?
My point being that if mages do get a melee soul, what will the damage be based off of (sp or ap) and how will it compare to pure spell abilities (since most warrior/rogue attacks deal "weapon + something" damage)?

Assuming the SP-AP conversion worked more faithfully, it would be the same way a Riftblade has their "spell damage" calculated with AP, and a Shaman has their "melee damage" calculated with SP.

Considering that it is not the announcement today - Are their any chances that we could see perhaps a mage that enchants melee weapons to fight up close? Though I am only level 24 on my highest, it is a mage, and I was hoping there would be something like that in the future! Thanks for your time - And keep making great games!
