New Class: Warden

Warden is an entirely brand new class being introduced in Forsaken World: Ascension!  The Warden is a sentinel that uses a Sword and Shield as their weapon to both cover their allies and smite their enemies.  This class is available to characters that are Elf Males or Kindred Females.

As a Warden, players will have access to a unique shield interface containing 3 core skills.  These all have 16 second durations and 90 second cooldowns:

Heart of Protection

During this status, sword skills can reduce the target’s attack by a 5% of the caster’s attack.  Shield skills can increase the caster’s Base HP by a 5% per strike.  Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base Defense by 10%.

Heart of Piety

During this status, sword skills reduce the target’s healing effect received by 20%.  Shield skills increase your healing effect received by 5% per strike. Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base HP by 10%.

Fearless Heart

During this status, sword skills deal additional Light damage equal to 4% of your Base Attack.  Shield skills increase your Light Mastery by 12 per strike. Stacks up to 5 times.  Increases Base Attack by 10%.

A new class brings a variety of new talents!  The 3 exciting trees a Warden can pursue offer a range of play styles:

• Moon Eater - DPS
  • Steal attributes directly from your foes to weaken them while increasing the damage you inflict upon them
  • Uses Light Mastery
• Sun Ray - Tank
  • Become a more resilient Warden by bolstering survivability to be a better protector of your teammates
  • Uses Light Mastery
• Astromancy – Heal/Support
  • Increase your healing effectiveness by using more mana and if all else fails, avert death by becoming temporarily invincible
  • Uses Dark Mastery

We close out this week’s preview with a glimpse at another three of the Wardens’ impressive new skills and abilities:

Fusion Light Blast

A shield skill that attacks targets within 8 meters around you, dealing damage equal to 160% of your Base Attack plus 1163 Attack.  Each layer of Sunlight you have increases the Base Attack by 10%

Astral Nova

A sword skill that strikes four times, dealing damage equal to 110% Base Attack plus 2839 Attack.

Glistening Strike

A shield skill that attacks the target and up to 15 targets within 7 meters around it, dealing damage equal to 115% Base Attack plus 3774 Attack.  Grants a Divine Glory status to yourself that lasts for 15 seconds, increasing Sunlight Bash’s range by 6 meters.
