yoursoul 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) I was wondering if anyone could provide a description of what kind of role each class can take. I know it might be a bit difficult to generalize, but maybe in terms of rogue, tank, healer, combat mage, etc? I'm having trouble picking because I don't really know what each character's speciality is really. Who does the most damage? Who is usually the healer? What about the tank? What time is it? Where am I? Etc etc.... Edited January 1, 2009 by yoursouloncrack Link to comment
inXi 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Shadow Warrior - Tank High Elf - Sorceror Dryad - Ranger I wouldn't dare classify the other ones. o.o Link to comment
yoursoul 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 Are there are rogue like classes, just lots of high dps melee or ranged? Link to comment
inXi 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) I really don't understand what's a "rogue type class" in a Hack&Slash game, frankly. Shadow Warrior is also high DPS. So is Temple Guardian. Seraphim is also pretty melee but has a few spells... dunno... Please note that this is not a MMO, and the Hack&Slash standard goes: "Every class is a DPS class".

Erling 3 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 you migth want to look this up http://darkmatters.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=8836 putrescine's tips and here is my 2 cents fro an earlier topic: I'd say all the toons have melee magic the shadow warrior got a nice mix of melee and minion master and is easy to play seraphim got her swords alright and 2 full aspects of magic'ishy stuff highelf is most magic but arcanium aspect do have its melee possibilities dryad is capabel of close/ranged melee combat and magic temple guardian got melee and some magic(ish) stuff but I still find the other aspects than melee weak and inqusitor as you said, its not so hard as melee char and surpremacy is not to hard magic stuff either, but its the last aspect, netherworld that is designed for more advanced players if you want a nice and easy start without to many deaths (if HC) I would go with a few tries at shadow warrior first, I went with inquisitor first but I regret it and went back to shadow warrior might take you a few tris to get the build right but you will get there eventually. if you want me to I can post you my SW build (he is alive and at level 60 at the moment) and a twist of the ''same'' build for seraphim Link to comment
inXi 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) Temple Guardian; ... - Cons: ...the way he talks... But he talks awesome! Edited January 1, 2009 by inXi Link to comment
yoursoul 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I was thinking temple guardian because of his cool mount. Can anyone expand on it? Link to comment
inXi 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 (edited) For one, I know that it can move backwards and forwards while riding OVER monsters. But it doesn't have an ability to bite or what not. And it emits cool sound effects. But that's the class I'm planning to make, so I'm biased, don't listen to me. Please note, though, unless you're going melee, it's a somewhat hard class to build. Edited January 1, 2009 by inXi Link to comment
gogoblender 3,069 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I was thinking temple guardian because of his cool mount. Can anyone expand on it? Welcome to DarkMatters. There's actually some good comparison info for the mounts that Trust did on the wiki which you can read here: How the mounts compare to each other The TG and one other mount actually get different bonuses than the other four regarding the non aspect mod mounts. And I think the TG Mobiculum is also the fastest. No winter tires needed ^^ gogo p.s. Also as noted above in this topic, Sacred's not really so much an mmorpg...it's more like a single player game on rocket fuel...so that sometimes it acts like an mp game but most of the time it doesn't Because of this the characters have been specced out so that each can stand on it's own and singledhandedly defeat any monster in the game. No need for a sole healer class as any of the characters can complete the game successfully. It's too bad, I sort of liked the "need" of healers and miss that in Sacred 2. Link to comment
yoursoul 0 Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 So basically, is the TG melee really simple to play, hit people and they die? I kind of wanted something flashy too, the TG's armor and appearance looked cool, which is why I decided on him heh.... (not the best reason I know) Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oh there's lotsa flash with the TG for sure. Personally, I think the TG has the absolute coolest gear of all the charcters. As for going melee he has some great Combat Arts. Sacred 2 however is set up in such a way that each Aspect has it's own regeneration timer which encourages players to use not one but all three Aspects for their character. So while you might focus on the TG's Devout Guardian Combat Arts it will also be to your benefit to use other Combat Arts from other aspects. The flash you're looking for can come from his aspects Lost Fusion or Source Warden. Getting back to the TG having the coolest look... This should prove it. Combat_Modules_CC10 or Link to comment

inXi 0 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Really, is that a set? It seems to say level 15... But that looks a lot like a set. Or a pretty high level armor, for that matter. Mine looks pretty sweet, too (level 19): Link to comment
Schot 407 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I "think" my TG was around level 20 when I took that pic. And nope. No sets! It's all drops or bought stuff from the merchants.

ShadowX 0 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Never actualy played a TG from pics I've seen it looks very cool I may start a TG later on but for now I will keep admiring my seraphim Link to comment
