Warriors of Arinar!

The Warspear Online 6.1 update will be available next week and will bring new expert skills, significant changes in already existing ones, an improved aggression system, new dynamic events, as well as several further major changes. We'll cover some of them right now, but the information on the most interesting of these will only be available with the update.

New expert skills

The new delivery of expert skills is all about buffs and debuffs. All of them are active and are very useful in current gaming conditions. Exact numbers and even names will be provided after testing but there is already much to discuss.

The aggression system

The existing mechanics have been completely altered. The way in which skills worked previously was the following: you use a skill, it gives a certain amount of aggression plus the aggression from the damage from the tank. After the skill effect expires, the aggression is removed as well. It’s all different now.

All damage inflicted on an enemy during the skill effect will get a so-called “agro-bonus”. For example, a tank renders 1000 damage, but a mob receives 3000 aggression. After the effect finishes, this aggression will only partially disappear. To draw the boss away, tank teammates will have to inflict more damage than the tank alone with the skill bonus.
It will allow tanks to make themselves the highest-priority target of enemy attacks, as long as the effect works and not to lose the enemies right after the effect has finished. The system works the same with single and non-single aggression skills.

Despite the fact that effectiveness of tanks in terms of keeping the mobs attention has increased, other players are still able to distract them from a tank. That's why it is necessary to keep an eye on how much damage and healing they provide. Yes, that's right. According to new mechanics, active healers may also make themselves the target of boss attacks.

There is one more interesting feature, aggression decline. If you fight a boss within a party and at some point stop attacking him or healing your teammates, after some time your aggression will fall to zero. Technically, you'll be out of a fight, thus being able to use items that are unavailable during a fight, as well as changing equipment, etc., even if the rest of the party continues fighting.

This is it for now. More news about the upcoming update will be available on the day of release.

Good luck to everyone and see you in the game!

You have to pick and replace less useful skills. Maybe something will change in the future though
