Poderes y habilidades

Los bardos son una clase de apoyo tactico que no está basada en la curación. Tendrán más importancia en base a su movilidad y ubicación en la batalla.

Q: Give us a hint on their mechanic please?

A: Proximity based skill combination melodies, through dance song and story. Hard utility and support, you will see in the future.

• Las mecánicas de los bardos incluyen melodías de combinación de habilidades basadas en la proximidad a través de bailes, canciones e historias.
  • Los bardos pueden elegir activar buffs que aumentan las habilidades de tanqueo, evasión, DPS y curación abilities en su área de proximidad.
  • Algunos buffs están relacionados con el rendimiento del bardo en combate: Si un bardo lanza un ataque de habilidad contra un objetivo, los aliados que se encuentren dentro de un cierto rango pueden recibir un buff temporal relacionado con la habilidad utilizada por el bardo.
  • Los bardos pueden ofrecer curación basada en proximidad o probabilidad, pero en mucho menor nivel que los clérigos.

Let's say the Bard is using a weapon, has a sword out and... does some gladiatorial looking performance attack and it looks so great. It inspires his friends around him to increase their multiplier on critical damage, and now they deal additional damage against targets for the next 10 seconds or 8 seconds. So, you're going to need to be active. You're going to worry about your position, the relation of the position of your party members to you in order to accentuate really what you offer the party. – Steven Sharif

• Los bardos tendrán un amplio abanico de habilidades entre las que elegir, como la oratoria, la interpretación y la música.
  • Los bardos podrán tocar instrumentos musicales, como flautas y gaitas.

• Se pretende que los bardos no se limiten al apoyo. Serán una "persona para todo", incluyendo habilidades de combate ofensivas y defensivas además de habilidades de apoyo y buffs.
  • Ciertas habilidades de Bardo de nivel superior utilizarán plantillas de terreno basadas en la proximidad que requerirán que el grupo o la banda se muevan dentro (y fuera) de las formaciones indicadas por la plantilla para obtener beneficios o buffs

Based on proximity, based on your mobility and placement within the battle you're going to have more significance. So it's going to be to a degree a tactical type scenario for those non-healing support classes to be cognizant of. You know, where on the battlefield they need to be positioned in connection with the group that they're trying to augment or support; and so that gives a little bit more tactical sense to these non-healing support classes that's more relevant to them than other classes per-se. – Steven Sharif

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

• Los bardos no serán la clase de los "tiempos muertos". Este es el papel de los espacios sociales dentro de los nodos.
• Los bardos tendrán "habiliaddes de utilidad" fuera del combate, como el resto de clases.
  • Recuperar PX durante el descanso no será una de estas habilidades del bardo.

In other games, Bards tend to be a relatively passive way of playing and that's really not the direction that we want to go with it. We want every class to be fun to play. We want every class to be viable. We want you to feel like you are doing something: That your moment-to-moment gameplay is fun; so a lot of that stuff is going to be based on combos, on reactive interactions between your party members and the mob that you're fighting, or the player character that you're fighting. There's going to be a lot of movement from the front lines to the back lines to help out and make sure that everybody is supported in the way that they're doing it; and that you are also being active in what you're doing. You're not just sitting in the back passively playing a lute and not having any fun. – Jeffrey Bard

Aumentos del mago

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Los magos dispondrán de cuatro escuelas elementales de aumentos, como Teleportación, Fuego, Escarcha y Rayo (eléctrico).

Say for instance, I am a Ranger that has a Charge bolt ability as my primary active skill and I've chosen Mago as my secondary and applied the elemental to it. I now have a Frost charge bolt, and if I fire that frostbolt and hit a target, they may be freezing for a period of time as a debuff and that might slow their speed. If a wizard applies a nuke on a target and that nuke is a frost-based nuke, those two stacking elements might then either further snare (slow the target) or paralyze and freeze the target. So, there are combination out effects that build up: A primary, secondary and some ancillary effect occurs when those are combined. – Steven Sharif

There's going to be four schools of augmentation for each archetype. One of the schools for the mage is the teleport school. You can take that teleport augment, apply it to your charge skill: now instead of charging x distance over time you're going to immediately teleport to the target dealing x damage and a condition modifier. If you were to apply the elemental school to your class ability you would then instead you would charge x distance; upon reaching target you would set the target ablaze if it's fire or you would electrocute them and deal with damage over time. – Steven Sharif
