[Zaph]

Ppl already whining mid/hib classes will be overpowered and all you got is some vague descriptions of the classes, _WTF?_

 

[Asha]

they look interesting
maybe it will draw ppl to hib as mythic have been trying to do for 2 years
If they had put enough effort into Hib to start with they wouldn't still be having these probs now ^^
I wish I picked hib at the start but it looked boring.

have you ever thought that people may have a RL allrdy, yeah mabey we play abit to much but hey its beats watching TV and "nerds" are infact very social people

 

[Harle]

There are now class-descriptions on the official catacombs page aswell, which even give some more interesting info...

The Vampiir class is a fighter who wields a one-handed piercing weapon in its right hand. While in melee combat, it is able to cast Vampiir magic with the left hand. The class does not have a normal power pool, however. It will gain power from a variety of attacks - primarily melee strikes. The class receives Safefall and Climb Walls, as well as a passive form of health regeneration. Vampiiric magic comes in three categories or spell lines: "Self Enhancement" spells such as parry, evade, run speed, magic and melee absorption bonuses; "Offensive Damage" spells such as Lifetaps, Flame Strikes, and a special ability to turn the left hand into a claw for further melee attacks; and "Utility" spells such as a single target mez, snare, Lull Enemies, and effectiveness debuffs.

The Bainshee class is a cloth wearing class whose magic comes in the form of sound, and may only be played by female avatars. The class has three specialization lines, each line with spells focused in one of three areas: Point Blank Area of Effect, Ranged Area of Effect, and Cone Area of Effect. The Bainshee will be a class that debuts many unique magical abilities never before seen in the lands of Camelot. These include: a Befriend PBAE spell that will temporarily turn monsters into realm guards who will then attack any pursuing enemies for a short time; a ranged AE wail which, when sustained, can be used to reduce the visibility of enemies in an area; a Buffering Breath spell (a damage absorption buff) that will absorb a certain amount of spell damage for group members; and finally, is a PBAE shriek that causes nearby monsters to try and (temporarily) flee from the Bainshee until she finally stops to breathe.

So we'll get a non-stealthing wall-climber, and a caster with (focus?)aoe-nearsight ?

 

[Maoni]

I wonder what class i should choose in albion?
Zealot....or hmm zealot....no wait!!
I choose zealot!
=P

 

[Aloca]

"What's the point of climbing a wall if you don't have stealth?"

Doesn't matter when you have a whole zerg of Vampiirs, just storm a tower by climbing the walls who cares if they see you coming.

Sounds like Hib is going to OWN in keep takes now, ok Warlocks is going to be the best ranged mage but hib just use Animist shrooms and Vampiirs to run over the keep

 

[Wabbit]

Grats both mids but even more hibs on the new classes...guess Mythic gets what it wants: albs hopping realms as this will make 1fga vs 1fgh/m even more impossible to do ...the alb zerg will dry up and albion will end up with only a few left unguilded necro's that sell dwarfs from eastern Europe to make some money...

 

[Vaar]

I must admit, this time Mythic seems to have conjured up things I for one didn't suspected them capable of. Pretty sure that all new classes, possibly excluding SeeALoot will add new dimension. Wouldn't surprise me though if the Zea turns out to be a very viable class.

Combined with the 9 new zones thingy (sigh. THAT was uncalled for), and the gfx-update, theese classes make catacombs sound decent. Even if I take into account that what we know yet is "controlled leaks" and PR, I'm looking forward towards it.

Little info to go conclusive yet, but WTH:
Banshee>Warlock>Vampiir>Valkyrie>Zealot It seems.

Added note. There is SOME indications that Valk also CAN be a wallclimber (among other things is starts out as a rogue it seems) gathered by the HaXXzOrs bragging on VN. I find that to be unlikely, but we will see. Still, more wallclimbers in Alb and Hib, combined with the arguable "fact" that mid have not the best stealthers sounds "unbalanced". No biggy but...

Forever until EU get Cata anyway. February possibly? I serious doubt the manage the initial "goal" of releasing same time in EU as in US.

PBAE bodyguard

As if hibs didnt allready have the best bg/grapple setup if thats what they want ?

What are poor kobolds to do, hold hands over ears and kick her in the belly so she shuts up?

 

[Miss]

Is everyone getting new character slots or will i have to delete if i would want to roll one of these?

 

[Kalid]

You'll get 2 new slots (last info I heard).

 

[enigma]

a ranged AE wail which, when sustained, can be used to reduce the visibility of enemies in an area

[[SS]Gamblor]

[Ilienwyn]
