Varlyndria: Ascension - Coming Summer 2013

[Cfuson88]

Really excited for this server. This will be the first server that has interested me enough to upgrade my titanium client to something newer. My only concern will be about how the classes will be balanced. Something about the balancing is screaming ez server quality where paladins rule all, just hope that doesn't happen here.

All of the paths in Ascension have a place in a group or the battlefield of player vs player combat. The fact that mana can be drained, melee mitigation can be lowered and healing can be reduced will make sure there is a lot of Rock/Paper/Scissors going on. For instance: an Avenger will be dreadful against most casters, where a Dark Emissary will be a tank's worst nightmare and Soulreaper can eat up an Avenger because they can't be harmed directly from his stuns and anti-magic, but a Soulreaper can probably be crushed by an Assassin who jumps their wraith. The server will be team based play and the synergies your guilds can form for pve and pvp is vast.

Some notes on the Soulreaper path:

• Soulreapers who are changed into a Dark Reaper cannot change back until it wears off or their pet dies, which will than kill them. (The spell counts as a harmful self effect and cannot be dispelled. Use at your own risk. With great power comes great responsibility.)

• Soulreapers who are changed into Dark Reapers and tell their pets to "Guard Here" or "Hold" will instantly kill their pet. This immortality is not to be abused by keeping your pet hidden.

• Soulreapers who have a pet out when they change into the Dark Reaper will slay the pet.

• Pets that are told to "Go Away" will instantly kill the Soulreaper if they are in Dark Reaper form.

NOTE: The Rotfeaster's epic will allow them to restore their health and mana by 4800 by targeting a corpse and casting the spell/eating it. The corpse does not go away afterwards. 60 SEC CD.
