Darkfall: Unholy Wars : Duelist, Skirmisher School, Detailed
Tags : Darkfall-Unholy-Wars
The Darkfall Online: Unholy Wars site has been updated with a pair of articles that lay out the forthcoming changes in the next two patches. Included in the first patch is the new Duelist, part of the Skirmisher School.
Duelist is a fast paced, high skill role that will bring twitch-play back into the equation. The equivalent of an ultra high mobility melee glass cannon. With easy to land, low-cooldown, high-damage skills, we expect this to be the role of choice for the experienced pvpers out there.
Skills such as Flurry greatly reduce the melee protections of even the hardiest of armors. Lacerate will be more than useful against the caster-types, with a high damage burst, high damage bleed, and penalty to casting speed for the unfortunate victims.
More fun pvp tools will be skills such as Pummel, a long lasting blinding attack with a movement speed debuff to boot. Lunge is a powerful short-cooldown, medium-range ray attack that duelists will use relentlessly to chase and cut down their foes.
