Starter Class Improvements (and Guardian too!)

"We've heard your feedback about adding more skill to the game's combat. To address this, we've made changes to the starting classes to give them a more defined role, and spruced up the combat engine to make every encounter a more dynamic experience for you all. "- Rabblefroth

Warrior

War Cry (Passive) is now a resource called Fury. Every spell grants 25 Fury, and at 100 Fury the next spell has +50% Power. Base Power of spells has been adjusted to compensate.
Auto Attack is now a 3-hit combo that deals more damage on the final hit.
Sever - Aggro bonus from damage increased from 0% to 75%
Whirlwind - Armor Break amount increased from 15% to 30% and duration reduced from 8s to 4s

Mage

Mage has been heavily updated to be more active and give choices instead of just casting whatever spell is off cooldown. It uses Channeled spells that apply damage over time but require you to stand still, making positioning and planning important. We also wanted your Mana to matter, while keeping the feel of having an infinite amount.

Leylines (Passive) - Increases Haste by 10%
Fireball - Cast repeatedly to build Fire Aspect, increasing damage. Every third cast launches a powerful exploding fireball
Ice Spear - Cast repeatedly to regain Mana and build Ice Aspect, increasing Cast Speed. Every third cast launches a conjured lance of ice at your foe, Slowing and dealing Frost damage over time.
Lightning Storm - Channel lightning into your target, Stunning with the initial blast.
Meteor Volley - Channel to summon devastating meteors to annihilate your target and the surrounding area.

Rogue

Auto Attacks - Now a 3-hit combo that applies 2 stacks of Poison on final hit.
Poison Strike - Applies 3 -> 2 stacks of Poison (Rank 6: reduced from 4 to 3 stacks)
Poison - Power per stack changed from 16 to 20, and duration increased from 4s to 5s
Scorpion Sting - Power reduced from 90 to 80
Heavy Poison - Power per stack increased from 32 to 35 (Rank 8: increased from 37 to 40), time damage is dealt over is reduced from 6s to 4s

GUARDIAN

Dragon's Breath - Aggro bonus from damage increased from 50% to 100%

Parties can now join dungeons together

When party leaders join public dungeons, the rest of the party can join the same instance. This is a vital part of the upcoming dungeon finder.

Coming next....

Expect to visit the reaper... X_X Dagger is building a level 30 fixed challenge Lich Boss Fight. It features two brand new brutal boss skills. The rewards are worthy of it... both in stats and appearance. Meanwhile, the AQ3D content team has been focusing on the Werewolf Coliseum (Darkovia Part IV). The maps are nearing completion as we are fang deep in cutscenes and NPCs. The coding team is working on phase 1 of Guilds and the Dungeon finder.
