But that is by no means all. In the third developer blog, which solely focuses on the adjustments of “New Order”, the topics are support, weapons, and especially the magical classes.
Slowing fireballs or strengthening songs?
With New Order, all classes can rely on different aspects. They work similarly to “combat stances” in other MMORPGs. In addition to a passive bonus to certain stats, aspects also provide other advantages. A mage specializing in “support”, for instance, deals slightly less damage but can additionally slow down enemies with fireballs. The same applies to bards and engineers, who can strengthen their allies in various ways with the support aspect – but deal less damage in return.
Weapons – rarer, but more options for all
There are some changes to the weapons. Each class is now supposed to have a greater selection than before, but the new deadly tools will only be available as rewards from bosses. This means that getting weapons is a bit more difficult, but there are more options for what you want to equip your hero with.
