The multiplayer role-playing game Neverwinter Online has its own vast audience, and there are many reasons for this. First of all, the plot was based on the popular Neverwinter Nights, and the mechanics themselves were made in the style of the equally famous Dungeon & Dragons.
Neverwinter Online: Class Guide
As in any similar mmorpg you will find many races that differ in their skills and abilities. But there is something that distinguishes this game from others - these are classes in Neverwinter Online. Overview, builds, skills presented here will introduce you to them. In the game, unlike other mmorpg, not four, but as many as six classes, each of which deserves close attention.
Guard warrior
Welcome to the world of powerful warriors called Neverwinter Online. A class guide should start with a character nicknamed the “tank” in the game. And this is not surprising, because this hero has the highest protection rates. This class is almost immortal, thanks to the ability to put a block with a sword or shield, reflecting the attacks of the enemy. A guard warrior will be the best choice for a player who prefers to engage in close combat.
Initially, the Guardian Warrior is able to use 4 skills:
- Sentinel - reflects frontal damage with the shield.
- Heroic effort - additional skill points are added when reaching the 10th, 15th, 20th level.
- Universal defense that increases defense by 3%.
- Underground knowledge - the ability to see traps, hidden doors and treasures.
This class is best chosen for races such as half orc, tiefling, and dwarf. When pumping a character, the main emphasis should be on Stamina and Strength, it will be worthwhile to pay attention to increasing the Dexterity parameters, which increases penetrating damage.
Master wizard
This character plays a huge role in the game, however, as in any other mmorpg, it will be discussed further in the review of Neverwinter Online (classes). The wizard is the best fighter for long-range combat, and all thanks to the ability to control a wide variety of elements. Also useful is the ability to subdue the mind of the enemy and use it at your discretion. The main skills are focused on the destruction or control of a crowd of enemies, and this class will not be superfluous in any battle. The disadvantages of this character include weak armor and low resistance to damage. So this hero is not suitable for single-player passing dungeon bosses or hot battles in pvp.
At the basic level, only a few skills are available, but during the game you can open and pump a wide variety of abilities. The most popular at first were the “Ray of Cold” and “Magic Arrows”. Choosing a race, you should give preference to Tieflings, which will be the best option. The most important parameters for this class are Intelligence and Charisma, and they should be emphasized when pumping.
True Cleric at Neverwinter Online
The new class that appeared in the game is the most popular in any squad. And all thanks to the ability to block the enemy’s magic attacks and heal his comrades. Another skill that distinguishes this hero is the ability to control the territory and inflict divine damage on it. In this case, the force accumulates with each hit on the enemy. Basic skills are Astral Sorrow and Spear of Faith.
Creating a character of this class, it is worth giving preference to the human race. This will give you three extra skill points. The main parameter, which should be emphasized when pumping, is Wisdom. This hero is the strongest support in Neverwinter Online. Which class is better to choose to help allies, replenish the health of comrades and control the crowd of enemies? There is only one answer - the True Cleric.
Fearless warrior
Continues our review of Neverwinter Online (classes) character, almost no different from the Guardian Warrior. This class has the highest damage per second in the game, which makes it most effective against single targets, especially bosses. Defense performance is rather weak, but his ability to quickly kill opponents with his long sword makes this hero one of the most preferred. For a character it is better to choose medium or heavy armor. The most profitable starting skills are Killing Strike and Ferocious Strike.
The main characteristics of the Fearless warrior, which should be emphasized when pumping a character, are Strength and Dexterity. So the race should be selected based on these parameters. Half-orcs will be most preferred, and a race of humans, dwarves, and halflings will also work. The character will appeal to players who do not like to be bored aside, prefer to be in the thick of the battle.
Dodger Dodger
The review will continue with the fastest and most agile character in Neverwinter Online, the classes of which we are considering here. A feature of this character is the ability to enter the invoice. With invisibility, the chance of a critical hit increases. This character does an excellent job with pretty strong single targets.
When pumping a character, the main emphasis should be on skills such as Dexterity, which is necessary to increase the chance of a critical hit, and Strength. Suitable races for this class are:
- People. The race will bring 18 Strength points and 16 Dexterity to the initial parameters, as well as +3 heroic feats that will not be superfluous at 10, 15 and 20 levels.
- Drow This race is the perfect choice for PvE. +18 Agility and +16 Strength, as well as +6% to debuff.
- Half-orcs. Ideal for PvP.
The remaining races are completely ineffective. When pumping a branch of skills, you should pay attention to the "Executioner" ability. It is worth paying special attention to the main ability of Trickster - invisibility, which can be obtained only after the 10th level. The ability to use this ability will be the key to success. You should not go into inviz as soon as you enter the battle, it is better to wait for the most suitable moment. After all, the invisibility scale is filled only when the character leaves the battle. It will help to strengthen the parameters of the class equipment, giving a bonus to speed, penetrating damage and chance of critical hit.
Ranger hunter
Completing our review of Neverwinter Online (classes) is the most unique and interesting character. This hero is able to engage in both close combat and destroy enemies from afar with a bow. The ability to quickly switch between game styles makes this character able to fight back the enemy in any situation. But this class also has its drawbacks. Long-range combat will become ineffective in dungeons, where there is absolutely little space and nowhere to turn around.
The main parameters that you should pay attention to are Wisdom and Dexterity. Based on these parameters and choose a race:
- Elves The race will bring two points to Wisdom, Dexterity and Intellect, and will also add one to the critical strike chance.
- Drow +2 to Wisdom and Charisma, as well as a quick recovery around a fire and an increase of 5% in the ability to hit an enemy with Dark Fire.
- Half-orcs. +2 Strength or +2 Stamina and Dexterity. Ideal for close combat. Increased critical strike power by 5%.
A mandatory skill that should be pumped to the end is the "Boar Hide". In this case, you can ignore such a skill as "Shot a hawk."
That concludes our mini-review of Neverwinter Online classes, wishing you success in this exciting world of magic.
