By: Jinjaah
Summary:
Wargs have always been the stealth class of the Ettenmoors. Using the element of surprise to their advantage, they can be devastating to square off with one versus one. However, once exposed from stealth, they usually end up dead in a matter of moments due to their low survivability. This guerilla warfare like playstyle, while fun, feel limiting. The changes made in this update were to address this specific issue.
This update the Warg will have two distinct playstyles that players can choose: The fragile stealthier or the scrapping brawler. For the Warg that has been dying to charge in and ferociously rip their opponents apart while soaking up damage, your time has come.
Stances:
The Warg is being outfitted with two new stances: Shadow and Flayer.
Shadow Stance:
“You attack your enemy from every shadow, dealing devastating damage.”
Unlocks: Rank 1
Cooldown: 10 seconds (shared with Flayer)
Melee damage increased
Moderate in-combat power regeneration
Some skills will always execute as “From Stealth”
Flayer Stance (Replaces Shadow Howler):
“Forsaking speed and surprise for defense, you become a juggernaut on the battlefield.”
Unlocks: Rank 10
Cooldown: 10 seconds (shared with Shadow)
Cannot stealth or disappear while in this stance.
Moderately Increases:
Armour value
Tactical mitigation
Physical mitigation
Places a morale bubble on the Warg which refreshes every 7 seconds. When the bubble pops, the Warg receives 1% of its max health. If the bubble is not popped, the Warg gains 5% of its max health.
Unable to stealth in this stance.
Certain abilities have “Brute Bonuses” which have a chance to add additional debuffs to your target.
Skill Changes:
The following skills will be altered to help drive players into the two new stances.
Stealth and Brute:
Stealth will become a new ability in Flayer named Brute. Brute will increase your chance to unlock the brute bonuses for your abilities.
Disappear and Topple:
Since you are unable to stealth in Flayer, Disappear will also become a new ability named Topple.
Topple:
Knocks your target to the ground for a long duration.
Shares a cooldown with Disappear.
Throat Rip and Muscle Tear:
While in Shadow Stance or no stance, Throat Rip will function as it had previously; silencing your target for a long duration. However if you are in Flayer Stance, Throat Rip becomes Muscle Tear.
Muscle Tear:
Decreased target’s movement speed and attack speed for a long duration.
Changes to Snap:
In Flayer Stance or no stance, Snap will do the following:
Reduce melee, ranged, and tactical damage on the target.
On critical: disarm the target for a short duration.
In Shadow Stance, it will become Snap! The major difference is instead of disarming the target; it will silence them for 5 seconds.
