The Labyrinth News

Just like the title says, I was swamped today with work and plans with friends, I wasn't able to get around to making the class changes update for today. I'll be sure to post extra tomorrow to make up for the loss!

Part 4 of the 8-day seroes on detailed class changes. Today I'm covering the Blood Mage and the Shaman, and again any old spell changes are going to be striked through and any new changes are going to be bold.


The Blood Mage hasn't changed too much, given that his idea before lines up with how I want him to actually be. I took away Hemorrhage's damage component since I felt it was too similar to Bleed Out, and now made it a risk-reward ability with increased Spell Damage Dealt at the cost of Maximum Health. To counter this Health loss, Bleed Out grants bonus Maximum Health when it Kills, and he gets some natural tankiness from Augmentation (which was originally the opposite, granting Damage Dealt a chance to switch).

The Shaman also hasn't changed much, since his whole idea was a slow-burning Healer. His idea is that he's relatively weak in the early game, but can get extremely powerful in the late game. Mass Heal is a strong healing spell on its own when it's upgraded, but his new Passives allow it to really shine. Also he's still the only unit with a Reviving Active Spell, so that has immense value all in its own.

Death Hex

• The Target takes Spell Damage Divine Damage equal to 65% 100% of their Maximum Health over 10 6 turns

Part 3 of the 8-day series on detailed class changes. Today I'm covering the start of Mages, the Arcane Mage and the White Mage. Again, any old spell contents that have been removed will be striked through, and any content that is new is going to be bold.

Mages got the short end of the stick with weak weapons and armor. I tried to compensate by giving them strong abilities, but they pretty much always got outclassed warriors. Since warriors now rely more on support units, mages can step up to the plate with more powerful buffs and tons of utility that give them a valuable niche.


The Arcane Mage is probably the largest rework of all the classes. He used to be a straightforward burst unit, with each Active ability having damage as well as a debuff component. I felt it was a little lazy so I completely converted him into something else! He has a powerful debuff with Melter, he can turn into an ethereal damage machine with Arcane Form, and Arcane Training still makes him useful while he's Silenced.

Absorption

Spell Strike: +1% Chance to deal bonus Damage equal to 20% of the Arcane Mage's Maximum Mana on Cast per level Arcane Resistance: +1% Spell Damage Reduction per level


The White Mage was another easy, straightforward unit more geared for support. He still is a support unit but with more layers. His support spells are pretty simple except Haste which has tons of potential given the right party. His Passives grant Party bonuses, and his Infinites provide bonuses to his Healing and Mana/Mana Regen. Still pretty simple, but my aim was to make the simplicity more interesting!

Part 2 of the 8-day series on detailed class changes. Today I'm covering the Dragon Slayer and the Knight. Again, any old spell contents that have been removed will be striked through, and any content that is new is going to be bold.


The Dragon Slayer didn't really have a set theme. The way he is now is loosely based on killing and dealing high burst damage. His rework puts more emphasis on killing, with Slay getting a permanent Damage increase if it kills its target, and both passives revolving around killing enemies. After all, what good is a Dragon Slayer if he can't absorb the powers of his enemies Skyrim style!

Serrated Blade: +1 Bonus Damage per level Refreshing Kills: +1% Mana Restore on Kill per level


The Knight went through a few reworks in the current game until he was in a pretty good position. He started extremely tanky, with several abilities that increased Damage Reduction. His major rework toned down his tankiness in favor of being more of a bulwark with Fortress. This new rework puts even more emphasis on that, giving him even less Damage Reduction abilities, and in fact having a Passive that makes you take more Damage as it redirects Ally Damage Taken to you! This forces you to use Defend the Flanks more often (as I found myself not needing it when I played him), as well as Resilience giving small but significant Heals when Buffed. His Damage Reduction abilities more or less moved to his Infinite Spells.

Forceful Impact

This is going to be part 1 of an 8 part series of posts! For the next 8 days I'm going to make detailed posts regarding the class changes for full release! Since there's so much work to do and so many changes to go over, I felt it was needed to split it into this many parts. So today is the Berserker and Templar, tomorrow is the Dragon Slayer and Knight, Wednesday is the Arcane Mage and White Mage, Thursday is the Blood Mage and Shaman, Friday is the Assassin and Marauder, Saturday is the Duelist and Ninja, Sunday is the Sharpshooter and Herablist, and Monday is the Hunter and Brewer! Some of this content is reposted from my game's subreddit, but most is original content just for you guys!

Any old spell contents that have been removed are going to be striked through, and any content that is new is going to be bold.

Today and tomorrow covers Warriors. Warriors are pretty damn powerful. They get the strongest weapons, strongest armor, and an assortment of abilities that grant them even more damage and resistance. So I had to tone down their power in order to allow other classes to keep up. As a result you'll see that Warriors now have many more abilities that cost Health, as well as Damage Reduction abilities being more scarce. This is in an attempt to focus buffing power onto other classes to incentivise you into diversifying your party instead of just having 3 Warriors and a Blood Mage.


The Berserker had a small theme of being more powerful the lower health he had. I wanted him to have a Passive where he dealt more damage the lower his health was, but at the time I didn't completely know how to program that within the scope of my game's limitations (keep in mind this was 2 years ago and I didn't know nearly as much about programming as I do now). But now I was able to make Berserk, which grants bonus Damage Dealt based on Missing Health. His theme now is more in line with a enraged unit that thrives on spending Health to deal more damage.

Raging Strike

• Upgrade: Additionally provides 3.5% Lifesteal per stack Additionally provides 1% Lifesteal per 3.5% Missing Health

Numbness
Small note: although the spell description is essentially the same, you actually gain a little more Damage Reduction with the new spell because of the way multipliers stacked in the old game. You actually get a total of 50% Damage Reduction with this spell as opposed to the 42.625% Damage Reduction the old spell gave you

• You gain 10% Damage Reduction when below 75% Health
  
• Upgrade: Increases the Damage Reduction by 15% when below 50% Health
  
• Upgrade: Increases the Damage Reduction by 25% when below 25% Health

Feel No Pain: +1.5% Damage Reduction when below 50% Health per level Blood Absorption: +0.75% Target's Missing Health returns as Health on Attack per level


The Templar hasn't actually changed much, his old kit was pretty in line with my idea of him. He's supposed to be an anti-mage, and his new kit hasn't changed too much but still has nice changes that make him really powerful against spell casters. With feedback, as well as personal experience, buffing spells didn't feel as powerful as they should be. So you'll see that many buffing spells are just much stronger versions of their currently existing counterparts. Cleanse for instance is now a full-party Debuff removal, or a full Buff removal from ALL enemies!
