DAoC has been patched to version 1.42, and here are the new class abilities (but be sure to check out the info at The Camelot Herald for all other changes):
NEW CLASS ABILITIES
- Assassin classes can now receive the Climb ability, which lets the scale keep walls. You use this ability to infilrate into keeps before your Realm has broken down its doors. You will get Climb at your 25th train in the Stealth specialization. Once you have the Climb ability, you must walk around each keep until you find an area suitable to climb (there are a few per relic and frontier keep), and once you find the area, you may climb it as if it were a ladder.
- Berserkers now change into a Bear-Person (i.e. a Vendo) when they go into their Berserker Frenzy. The Frenzy ability itself has not changed - we've simply added shapechanging to it. You will continue to hold your weapons, but you will not see your armor (although you are still wearing it). Please note that there is only one bear-person form - male and female berserkers will shapeshift into the same creature.
- Hibernian Heroes have receieved a new ability - "Spirit of the Hunt". Whenever this ability is used, the Hero will shapeshift into a fearsome stag-headed Huntsman from Celtic Lore, and will receive bonus hit points. There are four different levels of of this ability: Initiate(15th level), Member(25th level), Leader(35th level), and Master(45th level). While in this form, the hero has increased hit points - +20% for the 15th level ability up to +50% for the 45th level ability. The ability lasts for thirty seconds - at the end of this time, the hero's maximum hits will return to normal, but he keeps any hit point gain from the ability in his current hits (but he cannot exceed his pre-buffed maximum). The ability can be used once every 30 minutes played. Please note that there is only one Huntsman creature - male and female Heroes will both shapeshift into the same creature.
- Mercenaries get a new ability called "Dirty Tricks". This essentially throws a puff of dirt into their enemy's eyes (use while enemy is targeted). The effect lasts for 30 seconds and while the monster is under the ability's influence, they will miss you 25% more often and when they missed their fumble rate is 50% more often than their base fumble rate. This ability operates as a shout-type spell, so it has a chance to be resisted by higher-level players and monsters. You can use it once every half hour. In a related event, monsters now have a chance to fumble while this effect is on them (Monsters didn't fumble in previous versions at all).
- Blademasters get a new ability called "Triple Wield" where they summon a magical sword that adds damage to their attacks. This sword will enable you to do 50% more damage (i.e. via a Damage Add spell) for 30 seconds (assuming you hit your target, of course). This ability also can be used once every 30 minutes. |
