Dungeonborne – Classes for Beginners

Classes Breakdown for Beginners

For the sake of simplicity, I will divide the current classes in the game into a few categories that I have created myself based on how they generally play: Tank, Skirmisher, Support, Caster (the priest is a hybrid class) so he will go in Support, I also put Rogue in Skirmisher because there is only one type.

Tank

In this category, you essentially have one main option with Fighter, but I will also add Death Knight in here since they’re both plate wearers which makes them essentially have more base defenses and since both can use a shield as well:

Fighter:

Super Tanky but slow, can use most weapons in the game except staves, wears plate armor and has two abilities:

• Whirlwind – Where you spin in third person mode and deal a lot of damage, but you require a two handed weapon to use.
• Rush – You dash forward (not a sprint), repositioning yourself in battle for a quick engage or disengage

Death Knight:

Plate wearer, great initiator of fights and at dealing sustained aoe damage. He is weaker at surviving than the fighter because as an undead he cannot be healed by a priest and because he requires soul energy to activate his abilities, albeit kills recharge this.

Undead can use soul energy as their mana and eat souls off of dead pve or pvp opponents to recharge it.

• Soul Shroud – Casts an aoe damage circle around yourself that deals damage for as long as you have it active or as long as you have soul energy.
• Grasp of the Grave – Fires a spectral hand that pulls a target to you (friend or foe). Uses no soul energy, and deals damage if the target is an enemy.

Skirmisher

Rogue:

Leather wearer, with very high movement, interaction and looting speed, however with very little health pool which means they are all about burst and not sustain. Uses daggers and swords as primary weapons.

• Petrifying Poison – Coats your weapons in poison, next attack you deal turns the target to stone, inmobilizing them as long as they don’t take damage. Taking damage breaks them out but reduces damage by 100% (meaning you cannot just freeze someone and then backstab them for extra crit)
• Vanish – After a short cast you enter stealth for 15 seconds. You can move freely and heal without breaking stealth. Attacking breaks stealth and you are guaranteed a critical strike.

Keep in mind a dagger attack from behind can trigger a backstab.

Swordmaster:

Leatherwearer with longsword and sword and shield as base weapons, plus extra slots for swords. You need these extra weapons because even though his abilities use telekinesis, you NEED actual weapons to throw. High burst damage, but is resource intensive.

• Psiconic Blades – You can summon up to 4 swords (if you have them on you) and then shoot them at a target, dealing high damage and healing you for a small amount, type of damage depends on the sword and is consumed on use, you cannot recover them from the body.
• Whirling Blade – Summons 1 sword briefly in third person that circles around you dealind damage for 8 seconds.

Support

Priest:

Cloth wearer, only support class that can heal and buff allies, low damage output. Uses mace with shield and staff as starter kit.

• Divine Guidance – Heal that can be charged for increased effectiveness. Heals a target or yourself if no target is in line of sight ( can ressurect players if you have a passive at a higher stat point)
• Divine Protection – Casts a shield arround you and gives you movement speed. Can apply to teammates with one of the passives.

Casters

Pyromancer:

Mage class specialized in fire.

• Pyroblast – Charge to cast a big fireball. Can use nearby fire sources to power it up.
• Fire Blast – Instant aoe fire around you with knockback.

Cryomancer:

Mage specialized in ice.

• Ice Storm – Channel to cast an ice storm that slows enemy and when fully cast does a blizzard that deals damage and can freeze enemies.
• Ice Barrier – Instnat ice block to prevent damage and heal yourself over time.
