Les huit archétypes dans Ashes of Creation.[1]

Au début du jeu, les joueurs peuvent choisir parmi huit archétypes, qui définissent essentiellement le rôle d'un personnage.[2][3]

We're fairly similar to the holy trinity of class identity. I think that the way our primary archetypes and secondary archetypes, the combination of that creating these 64 different classes, it is a goal to kind of blur the line between those identities, that standard Trinity that's present. I think additionally the way that we're developing classes is to be that rock-paper-scissors type of interaction, especially balance them around group vs. group kind of dynamics or group dynamics; and... by utilizing the augment system allows for players to kind of take skills outside of just the realm of their identity and into a different area.[4] – Steven Sharif

Bard

Bard symbol.[7]

Le Bard est un archétype dans Ashes of Creation.[8]

Un réel multiplicateur de force, le Bard entonne des chants de gloire et conquête, inspirant ses compagnons à une grandeur toujours croissante. Il connait des secrets et mots puissants, sachant en parlant donner de terribles cauchemars, ou convaincre les ennemis de devenirs amis.

Les Bards sont les supports qui rendent le groupe meilleur en tant qu'unité.[9]

Les Bards sont prévus pour amplifier les compétences de classe des membres du groupe ou raid. Cette amplification n'est pas juste pour les DPS, mais aussi pour les supports, les soigneurs, pour encaisser les dégâts ou se mouvoir. Les Bards sont souvent dépeint comme une classe musicale et bien qu'ils puisse l'être, nombreux bardes peuvent exister juste en racontant une histoire. Raconter une histoire sera l'outil principal par lequel les bardes interagissent avec l'équipe. Et cette histoire améliorera les capacités des joueurs à donner le meilleur. Très similaire au buff d'une équipe, mais vous ne le verrez pas comme le "bot à buff" que vous auriez pu essayer dans d'autres jeux, où ils ne sont bons qu'à buffer l'équipe, puis vous les virez et ils attendent dans un coin en revenant 30 minutes plus tard. Ces buffs seront en rapport avec leur façon de faire.[10] – Steven Sharif

Les Bards ont des capacités de combat, pas seulement des buffs.[11]

  • Les bardes auront une grande variété de compétences parmi lesquelles choisir, comme les aspects de maitrise des mots, acteur et musical.[12]
    • Les bardes pourront jouer des instruments de musique, comme les Flutes et Cornemuses.[13][14]
  • Les Bards fourniront des soins de proximité ou basés sur des proc à un bien moindre degré que les Clerics.[15]
  • Les Bards ne seront pas la classe des "temps d'arrêt". Ça sera le rôle des espaces sociaux au sein des noeuds.[11]
  • Les Bards auront une utilité en dehors des combats, tout comme les autres classes.[16]

dans d'autres jeux, les Bards ont tendance à être du genre passif et ce n'est vraiment pas la direction que nous souhaitons prendre. Nous voulons que toutes les classes soient amusantes à jouer. Nous voulons que toutes les classes soient viable. Nous voulons que vous vous sentiez utiles: que chaque instant du jeu soit amusant; donc une grande partie de ce genre de choses sera basé sur les combos, sur des actions réactives entre votre groupe et le monstre que vous combattez, ou les joueurs que vous combattez. Il y aura beaucoup de mouvement entre le front et l'arrière garde pour permettre en quelque sorte d'aider et de faire en sorte que tous bénéficient d'un support quelque soit leur manière de faire. Vous ne serez pas assis à l'arrière à vous ennuyer en jouant passivement du luth.[17] – Jeffrey Bard

Les Bards peuvent choisir d'activer des buffs qui augmentent les capacités à tanker, esquiver, causer des dégats et soigner autour d'eux.[18]

  • Certains buffs sont associés à la manière de jouer du Bard en combat: Si un Bard touche une cible avec un skill shot, les alliés à portée pourront bénéficier d'un buff temporaire en lien avec la capacité utilisée.[10]

Disons que le Bard utilise une arme, il a une épée de sortie et... effectue une attaque ressemblant à une excellente performance de gladiateur. Cela inspirera ses amis proches qui bénéficieront d'une augmentation de leurs dégâts critiques, et maintenant ils infligent des dégâts supplémentaires contre les cibles pour les prochaines 10 secondes ou 8 secondes. Donc, vous aurez besoin de rester actif. vous aurez besoin de vous soucier de votre positionnement, la relation entre la position du groupe par rapport à vous afin de vraiment accentuer ce que vous lui amenez.[10] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1, extrait de gameplay du clerc.[20]

Le clerc est un archétype dans Ashes of Creation.[8]

Dans un monde souvent semé d'embûches, le clerc ne manque jamais d'amis. Ils peuvent protéger leurs alliés de plusieurs façons et, si nécessaire, étouffer la vie des autres. En tant que maîtres de l'essence même de la vitalité, ils peuvent sentir ce qui est brisé et corrompu... Chaque filament de cette essence connectent toute chose et chacun d'un entre nous. Les clercs sont particulièrement sensibles aux filaments qui canalisent la vie et l'énergie vitale. En renforçant ces filaments, ils peuvent guérir et même ressusciter ceux qui ont été blessés. En les déchirant, ils peuvent voler l'énergie de leurs ennemis, retournant les pouvoirs de leurs ennemis contre eux au milieu du chaos général de la bataille.[21]

Cleric skills/abilities

Restauration. Renforcement. Affaiblissement. Les prêtres maintiennent leur équipe dans la bataille en renforçant leurs capacités de combat et en maudissant leurs ennemis. Loin de simplement soutenir ses alliés par la guérison, un clerc est également capable d'utiliser une force destructrice face au danger..[21]

Les clercs contrôle la vie, et cela peut se voit au travers de leurs capacités utilitaires qui sont liées à la corruption.[22]

fighter icon new.png Fighter is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[8]

The fighter is an expert in physical combat. A master of many weapons, this warrior strikes fear into the heart of his foes.[8]

The fighter is really a mobile physical DPS. So they're able to traverse the battlefield. They're able to close the gap quickly. They're able to deal damage from a physical perspective... The fighter is in your face. You try to get away from me I'm going to close that gap. I'm going to deal this burst damage to you and it really doesn't matter if I'm behind you or if you're bleeding or if I've snared you per-se. I am there. I am in your face. I'm doing this damage.[53] – Steven Sharif

Rush rush icon.png Rush toward a target; and upon reaching the target, deal an amount damage with a chance to knock the target down.[3] - -
Whirlwind Damages targets in range and applies a stagger effect.[55]

What we want the Fighter warrior to do is to be able to cut through enemy lines, get to the support area of a raid perhaps and take out healers with some quick DPS burst damage. We want them to be masters of different weapons. We want them to be able to be versatile in whether or not they want to be a ranged fighter or melee one. It's going to be up to the player.[56] – Steven Sharif

Mage

Alpha-2 Mage Chain Lightning arcing around an environmental obstacle.[57]

You saw there that I ice bolted to apply stacks of chill. I Then followed up with my Elemental Empowerment attacks that added additional chill stacks, which created the frozen condition on the target they couldn't move; and then before that frozen conditions subsided I used my Arc Lightning in order to cause the Shattered effect.[58] – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 Melee Mage using a Greatsword weapon combo with class abilities.[59]

Different weapons have different synergies with class abilities, which just introduces that extra level of depth. It's like, how can I maximize the effect of this... I'm trading in this case my ranged potential for the ability to apply these status effects in a more AoE regard, which makes Greatsword a lot better for dealing with packs than the wand; and sometimes you'll even be able to use either one based on the situation. We allow players to swap their weapons based on what they are coming up against and it creates a lot of answers to different situations if you have the tools for it.[60] – Tradd Thompson

mage icon.png Mage is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[61][8]

  • Mages are able to combine skills from different elements, along with non-elemental spells and weapon attacks to produce powerful synergies and combos.[58]
    • Players can focus exclusively on a single element, but this will reduce their ability to benefit from synergies and combos between different elements.[62]
Passive essence is converted into useful forms and patterns under their direction, which can then take the shape of nearly anything imaginable! Mages can bend space, summon light, or set the very air ablaze – applying force in all its rawness, or in any shade of their elemental fury.[61]
  • Mages tend to have the most direct relationship with The Essence compared to others.[61]
Mages tend to have the most direct relationship with essence compared to others, and they manage that bond with a singular will... As a Mage’s connection to essence develops further, their power will continue to grow, unfold, and take shape.[61]

The rogue is master of opportunity, using skill, positioning, and the environment to dish out frightening amounts of damage. In their downtime, they provide solid utility, helping their friends navigate dangers otherwise unseen.

rogue icon new.png Rogue is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[8]

The rogue is more physical disable oriented: Applying bleeds or snares or having precision damage that's situational. Being stealthy. That's kind of how I view the rogue role... The rogue's like you don't see me, I'm coming in and boom I stab you in the back and I do extra damage because of it. Now you're bleeding and you're trying to snare away and walking away, and that's kind of a rogue in my opinion.[53] – Steven Sharif

Rogue skills/abilities

All classes are capable adventurers, but rogues excel at delving the deepest dungeons and finding the most hidden of treasures.[118]

  • Rogues will have utility skills that enable them to discover hidden doors, traps and additional treasures.[119]
  • These will be randomly spawned throughout different times of the day to ensure that encounters are not the same each time.[119]

If you're in a party and you have a Rogue that's available, they'll be able to use that utility skill to discover these random doors that might exist in a dungeon. Now the way we make it so that it's not essentially the same door every time and it's just a first time thing and every time thereafter you know where that door's at, is these locations are randomly spawned throughout different times of the day so they'll change essentially as you go into a dungeon at different times. So it'll be important and relevant for parties to make sure that they have a diversity of archetypes available to them. And in particular for the rogues case because they can find those hidden type doors and then have access to different types of loot tables based off of that.[119] – Steven Sharif

Summoner

Summoner symbol.[122]

The summoner is never alone. Two hands are good, but in the summoner's opinion, four hands are always better. With the right tool for every job, there's no situation they can't handle.

summoner icon.png Summoner is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[8]

Q: Summoner has been said to fill in the gaps in a party's role composition. What exactly does that mean in practice? Are they capable of speccing to be pure DPS, pure heals, or pure tank? Or instead are they supposed to be doing all three at a lesser level as needed?
A: It depends on the summon that they bring out. They will have a variety of summon options and they will have supporting abilities that enhance the role of that particular summon, or that can hybridize the role of that summon based on the ability they cast on the summon or support by attacking- by casting on the target either. So is something that is flexible based on the summoner; and then when you choose a secondary archetype as your total class, that- as a primary summoner- that will influence which category your summons perform best as a role. So if you go with a secondary archetype for your class selection that's more DPS oriented this summons from a role category perspective will be a DPS summons. You'll still have the flexibility, but it won't be as strong as if you had chosen a support or a tank roll and the summon benefits you would have as a result of those secondary choices.[123] – Steven Sharif

Summoner skills/abilities

The summoner uses abilities that channel through their summons (also referred to as class skill pets).[124][125]

You gain your summons from your summoner class as an active skill and then skills can be further developed with points.[127] – Steven Sharif
  • Abilities from the summon appear on the summoner's hotbar. The summoner is essentially playing through their summon.[124][125]
    • Summoner has control over their summon, unless the summon is under ancillary effects.[124][128][125]
  • Summoners will not be able to fuse with or be taken over by their normal summons.[124][125]
  • Summoners may also have the ability to transfer pain to their summons, meaning that a portion of damage or threat taken by the summoner can be transferred to their summon instead.[130]
  • Summoner summons are not the same as combat pets.[131]
    • Summoner's summons will add to the summoner's power when they are summoned, unlike combat pets, which take a portion of the player's power.[132]
The Summoner archetype does not have that portion of power taken away when they summon their pet. That's part of their... power is their summon.[132] – Steven Sharif
  • Summons will exist until another summon is cast, the summon is killed, or the summoner logs off.[133]
  • Summons can be leveled through the application of skill points to their active skill.[127]
  • Summons will be able to use crowd control (CC).[134]
  • Summoners may be able to name their summons, but will not be able to change their creature type, which is part of the nameplate above the summon.[135]
  • Summons follow the same PvP flagging rules as players and share the player's flag status.[136][137]
Summons follow the same flagging rules as players, if your summon pks someone, you gain corruption[136] – Steven Sharif

Summoners summon different varieties of summons, depending on the class and augments they choose.[138][139]

Augmentation from a secondary archetype can be applied to a summons.[141]

For example: If your summon had a sweeping attack with a claw, or had the ability to bite an opponent, or rush an opponent; and you took teleportation, you could rush them similar to how I've given an example with the tank: Teleporting to a target instead. Or, its claws could combust on impact on a target dealing some burn damage that persists. Or... let's say your summon traditionally was some type of bear or bear cat, you could apply an elemental augment and now it could be a transparent flaming bioluminescent cat; and its damage would be fire based. So, that's how we want to influence the active skills with how augments apply; and that's how it would apply with Summoners.[141] – Steven Sharif

Tank

Alpha-2 Tank preview gameplay.{[142]

As the heart of any good unit, a Tank knows their duty and strength lie at the front lines of the fray. All around them, the battle ebbs and flows with the steady beating of that heart. While some may channel essence to create fire or summon ethereal beings, Tanks manipulate essence to gird their bodies and reshape the battlefield. Against an unstoppable force, the Tank becomes an immovable object, with essence binding them to the earth. Tanks can pull at the threads of an opponent’s mind, manipulating their emotions and goading them into devastating tactical mistakes.[143]

Tank Archetype. Alpha-1 capture d'écran. Crédit image: User:Asenscient

tank icon.png Tank is an archetype in Ashes of Creation.[8]

Ashes of Creation tank will be a pretty classic one: One that tank players are familiar with; and I think that's what people want. We don't need to necessarily redefine what the tank is, but I think we can improve it. There's some things that obviously- you'll have your expected mechanics like threat management and generation, mitigation, control, battlefield control, CC effects; but then we'd also like to see more direct ways of protecting your party members too- exploring, like Aegis, that's just scratching the surface of that kind of thing; but being able to actually actively take damage for your allies, that isn't just manipulating the AI is another thing about tanks that I think a lot of people deal with other games, is they're they're pretty bad in PvP, like when threat is removed from the equation, what am I doing as a tank when players just ignore me? And so we want to offer more direct mechanics that cause even players- or encourage players to attack the tank to make it so that the tank can't protect their allies against you.[144] – Tradd Thompson

All classes with Tank as primary archetype will be viable for tanking upper-end raids, dungeons and world bosses.[145][146]

Q: When it comes to tanking, will it be primarily the tank archetypes that will be able to tank, or can other people tank?
A: Other people can tank. It really depends on the setting. If we're talking high-end raiding or dungeoneering and playing in these areas that require a main tank, that role and responsibility lies to the Tank archetype. Now tank archetypes can obviously take secondary archetype selections and they can hybridize across different roles. That'll give them a bit of horizontal utility or horizontal progression to the augment system; and the best tanks are going to be the tanks that double down in that role.[145] – Steven Sharif
  • The developers are considering formation-based mechanics that grant effects such as damage mitigation based on positioning of party members.[147]
Also formation-based type effects. For example, there's a really cool skill that we just began working on for the tank, where you have a vector required for players to be within behind that tank that mitigates damage incoming from a different direction. So there's directional-based type situations that require location of players in your party to be cognizant of those locations.[147] – Steven Sharif
  • Tanks in general will have some control over encounters but will likely not have total control.[148]
Q: Tanks need to do two things: Mitigate damage and hold aggro. How will tank weapons, shields, and armor balance these two dynamics compared to other gear sets?
A: I think it does so in a few ways. I mean, obviously stack composition and your itemization choices are important. Making sure you're driving up your constitution-based stat allocation through selection of certain set bonuses and/or stat modifiers. But in addition, a big portion of that is not just through itemization, but also through your skill tree selections; and they don't have to be diametrically opposed. The ability to garner additional threat is predicated on your rotational selection and and how you are leveraging certain types of set bonuses that are catered towards that role specifically. So some set bonuses will have specific, very targeted benefits like additional threat generation. But in addition, if you're going to mitigate damage, you need to make sure you're focusing on your health pool: how much health pool do you have available to you? What type of damage are you mitigating- because we have different types of damage mitigation from magic to physical; and that's predicated on who your opponent is, where your adversary lives. Both of those are viable selection or viable strategies.[149] – Steven Sharif
Q: What steps are being taken or considered to make the tank archetype viable in PvP engagements?
A: It's important to note that in a lot of MMOs that probably many of us have played. PVP can feel like a slapped on design consideration; and our approach is very holistic in the sense that we take into account the fact this is a PvX game. So when we're designing the class kits, we are making sure that mechanics and designs are targeting applicability both in PvE settings as well as PvP settings. That's very important. There are also special mechanics, like how threat is used in PvP, how taunts are used in PvP. Those things I think require testing, but we have some ideas that will make them relevant so that you don't have abilities that have no relevancy in PvE or PVP, but have some cross application.[151] – Steven Sharif
