Jouster Skills
It takes A LOT of skill to ride (and stay on!) a mechanical steed in the midst of battle. As you level up your Jouster Class, you shall learn the following abilities:
Joust Auto Attack 2 second cooldown A not so basic attack taught to all Jousters. Deals bonus damage on your First Strike... CHAAARGE! Has a chance to stun off balance targets. |
|
Thrust Rank 1 13 mana 5 second cooldown A moderate attack that can puncture your targets armor with enough momentum or knock your opponent off balance with enough precision. |
|
Magnetized Precision Rank 2 15 mana 14 second cooldown Deals light damage and for the next 6 seconds your accuracy is greatly increased. If your opponent is already punctured he will begin to bleed for damage over time. Gives your thrust attacks the ability to knock your opponent off balance, greatly reducing their chance to dodge. |
|
|
Auto Repair Rank 3 32 mana 17 second cooldown Repairs your mechanical parts restoring a moderate amount of health. |
Deflection Rank 4 Passive Increases your chance to dodge by 10% |
|
Stalwart Rank 4 Passive Increases endurance 15%. |
|
Charge Rank 5 39 mana 29 second cooldown A battle cry granting the jouster a boost in momentum. Increases haste and while greatly increasing the damage of your First Strike in combat. Also gives your thrust attacks the ability to puncture your opponents armor increasing damage they take from all sources. |
|
Lance Rank 10 Passive Joust attacks have a chance to give you “First Strike” in which for 6 seconds all joust and thrust attacks are as powerful as your first strike. |
Jouster arrives 2/7/14!
Assuming you’re reading this today (and not using your prototype time machine), then you can become the Jouster Class starting tomorrow night!
You are a great person and a great hero—and you deserve a Class that’s equally as great! I cannot wait to fight alongside you as Lore’s greatest Jouster!
Battle On!
