Basics
- Basic Movement
Movement is handled by the W,A,S,D keys for forward, back, and
lateral movement, while the mouse is used to orient your view and
attack, much like any fps. By default, the game will start you in
mouse mode, hit escape or w to change to keyboard mode, at this
time, there is no easy way to start in keyboard mode. C lets
your character rest, and R is auto-run, for those long distance
treks.
- Advanced Movement
Along with basic movement, you also have a variety of advanced
movement otions. All classes using all wepons are able to perform
the basic dodge left and right by pressing jump + left/right. Additional
combos can be performed by certain classes, provided they are using
small weapons (or any weapon with warriors), these include jump
+ attack moves, and jump + back + attack moves (only executable
by duel weilding daggers on an assassin to my knowledge) Jump distance
and height appears to be the same for everyone regardless of stats
or class.
- Attacking (Melee + Ranged)
To attack targets with a melee weapon, simply click and hold the
left mouse button while targetting the desired enemy for the desired
combat length. To do hit combos, which result in higher damage and
more hits, you must remain standing still and must hit the target
continuously. If you are hitting the monster/person, you should
see damage being done, or "evade" or "block",
in rare cases. Attacking with a ranged weapon, such as a bow or
crossbow (but not guns, they work differently), is the same
as attacking with a melee weapon, except there are no combos to
worry about, and as soon as the monster is in melee range, you can
no longer attack. Your targetting icon will turn red when held over
a creature to indicate when you are within attacking range with
a ranged weapon. Posistioning is important in both cases, with melees,
you need to keep yourself within attack range of the target while
positionling yourself to get the most combo hits if the target is
on the move (which happens frequently in group combat, and always
in pvp). As a ranged attacker, you will need to learn how to dodge
and slow down your target, while keeping it's attention focused
on you, as if they run away, you lose almost all your experience.
- Attacking using Skills
Every class has basic attack skills, there are 2 kinds of attack
skills, CAST, and INSTANT skills.
- INSTANT skills strike instantly, and can not be interrupted
if you are attacked.
- CAST skills are somewhat more interesting, you must "charge"
the spell, by holding the right mouse button. You can charge as
high as you have currently learned, though it is not always the
best idea to charge as high as possible. With most attack casting
spells, charging to the top of level 1 yields the most damage to
a single target, while subsequent levels are more focused on area
damage, though the top of level 2 sometimes does more damage than
the top of level 1 to one target, though the recharge time for the
spell rises dramatically the more you charge. You can also have
your spell casting interrupted if you take damage while you are
casting, the spell will cancel as if cast, though will not take
any mana. It is usually possible to get off a level 1 stage 2 spell
in close range combat between hits, though you can still be interrupted
even when you just click the skill and dont charge.
- Supplemental skills
As well as attacking skills, there are also "buff" spells
to increase your char's ability, as well as healing spells and speed
spells, among others. They come in the normal "Cast" and
"Instant" varieties, but also include:
- PASSIVE skills, as the title implies, are passive in nature,
and are active all the time, without any need to activate. These
skills are usually weapon proficiency related.
- CHANT skills are basically aura spells, and activate when
you first cast them, and draw from your mana until there is no mana
left, or you have deactivated the chant by pressing the chant's
skill slot number twice (removing it from the locked skill box).
