Healing

Overhealing indicated by a blue temporary health bar overlay on a player's health bar.

• Cleric classes are the only classes that can fill the role of a primary healer. Klassen with Kleriker as a secondary archetype will have self-healing benefits as well as limited healing benefits to other players.

No one is going to fill the role of a primary healer other than the healer archetype; but there will be secondary class options that you can select, which will provide you with some level of sustainability under restoration, most of that will be centralized to yourself, especially in the case of a Paladin. – Steven Sharif

• In general, templated AoE heals will heal any non-combatant players.

Q: Will AoE and action heals also heal raid and alliance members?

A: Depending on the type, if it's a templated AoE, yes it would heal any non-combatants essentially. – Steven Sharif

• Players cannot heal enemy mobs.

You cannot heal enemy mobs. There's just really not a a relevant use-case for that when it comes to the design mechanics of such a thing, other than its primary use, which would be to grief other players. – Steven Sharif

• Certain healing abilities, such as Communal Restoration, can overheal. This is indicated by a blue temporary health bar overlay on top of a player's health bar. If the temporary health points expire without being consumed they do not count as effective heals.

• Fighters may have debuffs that can reduce healing received on a target.

Q: Do you plan to add any sort of counters for healing? For example, a debuff that applies a reduced healing effect or maybe even cause damage upon healing?

A: Ashes aims to be a more difficult leveling experience than perhaps we have been accustomed to over the past decade of MMO gameplay. And with that in mind, when it comes to balancing during Alpha-2 and thereafter, there is not going to be an overage of healing that's available. We will tune those things. We'll have an opportunity to balance those things... Some of the debuff options that the fighter class has within their class kit are debuffs that can reduce received healing on the target. – Steven Sharif

Skill	Icon	Origin	Description
Barrier		Kleriker	Sacrifice 25% of your maximum health to place a health shield on target ally for 10 seconds. Does not stack.
Blood Fusion		Kämpfer	Return 100% of damage dealt as health and 50% of damage dealt as mana over the next 6 seconds. If activated while below 50% health, gain 25% increased damage mitigation and healing received over the duration.
Castigation		Kleriker	Lashes your target with holy energy whip, dealing direct damage and restoring health and mana to yourself over time.

Consuming Lethal Blow		Kämpfer	Lethal Blow returns 50% of overkill damage dealt as health and mana.
Defiant Light		Kleriker	Heal target ally for 50% of their maximum health over 10 seconds. If that target would receive fatal damage while under this effect, this effect is consumed and prevents that target's death, healing them for 25% of their maximum health instead.
Deliverance		Kleriker	Held ability: Charges up healing energy that heals a target ally upon release, scaling in power the longer it is charged and the more % missing health of the target.

The amount of healing is reduced for each subsequent target.
Shake It Off		Tank	Activate to instantly restore 50% of all damage taken in the past 4 seconds. Always heals for at least 10% of your maximum HP.
Soothing Glow		Kleriker	Apply a healing over time effect to target ally. Reapplying this effect extends its duration on the target by its base duration value.

Cleric augments

Klassen with Kleriker as a secondary archetype are able to choose between life or death augments.

• Choosing life augments will provide self-healing benefits as well as limited life-giving benefits to other players.
• Some cleric augments applied to certain skills will indirectly provide the ability to heal others. These will not replace the need for a cleric archetype.
• Cleric augments will radically change the type of summons available from the summoner primary archetype.
  • Skeletons, zombies and other undead summons will be possible with death-based augments.

Any class that's going to choose Cleric as a secondary class will have the ability to pick from those augments to influence their skills to affect the life of others around you. – Steven Sharif

Gesundheit

During PvP, detailed information about your opponent's HP is obscured. This means you will not know the exact HP percentage an opponent has.

Gesundheit is a stat in Ashes of Creation.

If you are targeting another player specifically, another player not an NPC. If you're targeting another player and that player is not a member of your guild, alliance, raid, or party- those are the four affiliation factors. If they're not a part of those four groups you will not have specific information of their HP level. You will have quarters of information to their [HP] level and you may progress to get that a bit more granular, perhaps to sixths or eighths. You're not going to have exact information about what amount of hit points they have available to them. That level of obfuscation protects a bit of that engagement, that TTK interaction. So you might overshoot a target if you don't know exactly if they're down to their last 20% or 25%. That I think is a very healthy thing to have in PvP, but it is not a normal game design mechanic. – Steven Sharif

• Players that are not in the same party, raid, alliance, or guild will not be able to see other player's exact health bar values or percentages. This information will instead be displayed in quarters. A player may be able to progress to see sixths or eighths.
  • Previously it was stated that a player's name plate would deteriorate to give an indication of how much damage they have taken.

Rollen

Diese Übersetzung ist möglicherweise veraltet

In Ashes of Creation wird es das traditionelle Trippel aus den Rollen Tank, DD und Support/Heiler geben.

• Obwohl traditionelle Rollen vorhanden sind, sollten sich die Spieler nicht durch ihren primären Archetypen geprägt fühlen.
• Die im Klassensystem verfügbaren Fähigkeitserweiterungen ermöglichen es, Charaktere außerhalb ihrer Hauptrolle zu personalisieren.
• Spieler können auch ihre Wahl des Archetyps verdeutlichen, um ihre Hauptrolle zu stärken.

Klassenfähigkeiten

Pre-Alpha-Aufnahmen von einem Magier mit offensiven und nützlichen Fähigkeiten, wie z.B. Magierflucht und Magiererkennung.

Primäre Fähigkeiten (Klassenfähigkeiten) basieren auf dem Archetyp eines Spielers. Spieler können ihre primären Fähigkeiten durch die Ergänzung um einen sekundären Archetyp (Sekundärklasse) personalisieren.

• Die Wahl des gleichen primären und sekundären Archetyps erhöht die Betonung auf diesen Archetyp.
• Jede Fertigkeit im Primärbaum hat mindestens vier Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten aus dem Sekundärbaum.
• In Bezug auf den Fähigkeitsfortschritt können die Spieler wählen, ob sie in die Breite gehen und eine Reihe von verschiedenen Fähigkeiten erwerben wollen oder ob sie vertieft auf einige spezifische Fähigkeiten eingehen wollen.
• Das Ändern der Fertigkeitserweiterungen erfordert, dass der Spieler zu einem NSC in einem Dorf-Knotenpunkt oder höher geht.
• Aktive Fähigkeiten können nach der Anwendung einer Erweiterung völlig anders aussehen.

You only get active skills from your primary class and that active skill could look totally different after an augment gets applied. It really depends on what the augment is. – Steven Sharif

Key for the augment system is that these augments are meant to demonstrate a core identity of the secondary class type you've chosen. So if from the eight archetypes whatever you choose as your secondary, you're going to receive a choice of augments that relate to some core ideal of that class. You know like a tank is about controlling the battlefield, is about surviving. The mage is about dealing damage and elements and ability in AoEs. The rogue is going to be about stealth and critical damage. So those augments are going to to play towards those identities. – Steven Sharif

The idea behind the system is that you're skirting the line through these augmentations of your role, right. We have the traditional holy trinity that's present in class designs for MMOs and it's often that those either are not deviated at all or completely deviated from entirely. The augment is to offer a balance between that where you still maintain the semblance of that trinity system while offering the opportunity to customize your play experience towards one of the other angles in the triangle. – Steven Sharif

Talentpunkte

Alpha-1 Vorschau der Talent Benutzeroberfläche.

This is where players allocate skill points into either their active skills, their passive abilities- which can augment their usage of weapons and armors and health regeneration and passive stats and stuff like that-- but on the weapons side of things, that's where you will spec into certain types of procs based off of weapon groupings. So we've talked a little bit about this in the past: If you have a dagger, daggers might have a chance to proc a bleed on your weapon attack and that would synergize with an active skills' ability like let's say Backstab that does additional damage if the target is under a bleed effect. Now we have said in the past that players will be able to allocate skill points into their active skills that are more geared towards either action combat or tab targeting. – Steven Sharif

Spieler erhalten Talentpunkte wenn sie im Level aufsteigen. Diese können genutzt werden um Aktive, Passive oder Kampf/Waffen- Talentbäume zu erlernen/verbessern.

• Es wird nicht möglich seine alle Talente in einem Talentbaum auf ihr maximal Level zu bringen.
• Spieler können wählen zwischen "horizontaler" Klassenentwicklung(viele verschieden Fähigkeiten) oder "vertikaler" Klassenentwicklung(wenige, aber gut entwickelte Fähigkeiten) wählen.
• Es wird möglich sein Talentbäume zurückzusetzen und die Talentpunkte neu zu verteilen.

Making active skills capable of receiving additional skill point allocations and unlocking additional features so that from a player agency standpoint it's going to be up to you whether or not you want to be more diverse but less depth- wider and not taller, in some of these skill choices. Or if you want to be very very tall, that's going to be something that is up to the player in that regard. – Steven Sharif

Balancing

Diese Übersetzung ist möglicherweise veraltet

Die 64 Klassen sind in acht primäre Archetypen unterteilt. Das Balancing der aktiven Skills bezieht sich nur auf diese acht primären Archetypen.

• Jedem Archetypen sind vier Gruppen von Erweiterungen zugewiesen. Das Balancing der Erweiterungen bezieht sich auf die vier Erweiterungs-Gruppen von jedem der acht Archetypen.

Auch wenn Erweiterungen die Art und Weise, wie Ihre aktiven Fertigkeiten Ihnen Fähigkeiten verleihen, radikal verändern, liegt der Schwerpunkt immer noch auf dem Basisarchetyp selbst und nicht auf den 64 ganzen Klassen. – Steven Sharif

Wir reden hier nicht wirklich von 64 echten Klassen, wir reden von acht Klassen mit 64 Varianten … Es gibt nicht so viele Unterschiede zwischen den 64 Klassen, wie man vielleicht erwarten würde. Es ist nicht so, dass es 64 verschiedene Versionen von... radikal unterschiedlichen Klassen gibt. – Jeffrey Bard

Balancing in Ashes of Creation wird auf Gruppen ausgerichtet sein und nicht auf 1v1 Kämpfe.

• 1v1 Kämpfe werden eine Schere-Stein-Papier Dynamik haben, in der eine Klasse stärker ist als die andere.

Es wird 1-gegen-1-Matches geben, bei denen eine Klasse einer anderen überlegen ist; und diese Anwendung sollte eine Stein-Schere-Papier-Dynamik sein. Wir möchten, dass es ein Gegenspiel zwischen den verschiedenen Klassen gibt ... Stattdessen wird es ein gruppenorientiertes Gleichgewicht geben, bei dem, solange die Vielfalt der Klassen vorhanden ist, gleiche Wettbewerbsbedingungen herrschen. Es wird sehr von Geschick und Strategie abhängen. – Steven Sharif

Bestimmte sekundäre Archetypen können die Lücke zu ihrem Konter schließen.

Bestimmte Archetypen sind in der Lage, die Kluft zwischen ihren Gegenstücken per se zu verschieben. Wenn ich ein Tank-Archetyp bin und ein Magier mein Konter ist, kann ich einen Magier-Sekundarteil nehmen und die Kluft ein wenig überbrücken; und dann meine Identität ganz leicht in diese Richtung verschieben. – Steven Sharif

Der Alpha 1 Test ist primär auf die Kernfunktionalität fokussiert, anstatt auf das Balancing des Kampfsystems .

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse healing

Healing in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse will be reticle based (action targeted).

• Healing skills are proximity based: Centered on self or centered on projectile impact.
• There will be healing potion bursts (healing grenades) that will grant life to allies.
• Healing is part of Klassen-Kits that come into play during the testing of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.

We have a few design theories on action combat and healing to began with phase one. Part of that will be the implementation of a class system into the castle siege and horde mode of phase one. Those will be kits that play out as skills available from an action perspective. You'll be able to target in proximity, basically so positioning is going to matter. Importantly, for healers being close to the individual party members you wish to heal. Additionally, you'll have reticle based healing methods. This would be a template that could be launched in that direction as a pulse of heels or augments. So there's a lot of different systems are playing with that you'll see more of when we get to those when we get to the castle siege system and the Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode. – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse class kits

Classes in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode. Emblem designs by Ryan Richmond.

Six classes will be present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.

• Warrior classes
  • Guardian
  • Weapon Master

• DPS classes
  • Archwizard
  • Hawkeye

• Support classes
  • High Priest
  • Engineer

These classes relate to the trinity of classes: Tank, DPS and Support.

• Skills/abilities are not tied specifically to weapons in castle siege mode.
  • It was previously stated that weapon skills are applied to augment a class' base skills.
• Base class skills may be able to be selected from a host of available skills for that class based on a player's progression within that season.

We had a little bit of an idea that we're going to explore with regards to each of the classes having a range of skills and abilities that players can customize that skill kit based on their progression within a season, let's say; and that progression can be gained from any of the modes and it would grant you the ability to customize that skill kit for the before the siege mode or the horde mode. But that's something that might come at a later date. – Steven Sharif

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse classes only apply to Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.
