Runes of Magic US / AU

Quoted from "Rossbot;512598"

I've been doing some research myself, putting together pieces of the puzzle.

Psyron seems to be the one that uses Focus, although not sure. I'd be willing to bet this is a shorter ranged class that primarily is a debuffing or damage dealing class. If I'm right about it using Focus, it probably has some insane burst damage much like Rogues.
Harpsyn one seems to use Rage and temporary buffs/states. I think this is the one that uses the Blood Runes, probably similar to the Druids' Nature Power. I'm still wondering about this class and its primary mechanics, it's hard to tell. R/H seems to have a ton of new traps, including taunting and fearing ones. I'm really looking forward to this one.

I'd love to see a new race, not sure if it is going to be Zurhidon, but we will see. Their story doesn't really lend itself to being friendly to Elfs and Humans. I'm just going to throw it out there, I think the next race will be Naga or Kalonian (Rhino People). The Nagas were kind of forced into slavery by the Zurhidons and didn't have much of a choice. Kalons were friendly with the dwarves but then the whole Sismond story came to ruin everything for them.

Either way, both of these classes and possible races seem like they will fit into the game very well.

Yeah, after making that post of mine - I went and looked at it more in-depth, as well as discussed it with a guildie of mine. We figured the "Psyron" to be a focus-using "Psionic"-power wielding class. Which makes sense, to use psionic/psychic powers, one would need to be able to focus their mind, ne? lol
As for the Harpsyn class, it seems to be revolved around rage, and mechnisms. My friend and I were contemplating some kind of engineer-like class. Remember, there used to be (and still is? Haven't checke,d lol) a "gun" skill, despite no guns being in game. On that topic, there also used to be a "Lance" skill (or spear, was it?), which could be the weapon of choice for the Psyron's?

As for a new race - my friend says it could be Dwarves. Bit I'm not 100% convinced it's a new race, yet. I mean look at the 4 classes that have the 'new' elite skills available:
- Warrior (can be used by any race)
- Rogue (can be used by any race)
- Mage (can be used by any race)
-Priest (only usable by humans, so far?)
It's the Priest that makes me wonder, if these 2 new classes are apart of a new race, or just another 2 new classes that can be used by either race, and just the other 4 classes (Knight, Warden, Druid and Scout) haven't been updated on the database yet? At this point, it really could go either way and we'd have to keep our eyes open.

If there is a new race, capable of having Warriors, Priests, Mages, Rogues, "Psyrons" and "Harpsyns" then it would be a race that we would expect to be capable of:
- wielding psionic powers
- having 'holy' members to play the role of priests
- capable of wielding and controlling runic powers, as well as machines/mechanisms
- not capable of having bow-wielding skills (no scouts from what we know of)

At the moment, Nagas do strike me as the kind to be able to wield psionic powers as well as control runic powers / machines. Having Naga priests seems... weird to me though. Naga warriors, Naga mages and Naga rogues all make sense to me, though.
As for Kalons... I don't see Kalon priests (rather, I'd see Kalon Shamans), or Kalon Psyrons either.
I can't see Dwarves having Psionic powers, either. Everything else would work for them, though. Albeit I'd think Dwarves would be more likely to have a Knight class rather than a Priest (or Psyron) class.
If you want to dive further into more RoM races, there are:
- The Dimarkans (Barbaric peoples)
- The Capra (Goat people)
- The Tiktaalik (Fish people)
- The Angren (Cat people)
- The Rh'anka (... I don't even know)
- The Limon (Dog people)
- The Gnoll (More dog people? lol)

After listing it... the most reasonable (at the moment) seem like either the Limon or the Nagas. Limon I'm... not convinced yet, since they don't seem capable of using machinery well (Tygistor and Yinha were made by the people in Shattered Hand, iirc?).

Anywho, I hope this discussion really continues. I love speculation.

There are races already existing at game: Human, Elf, Urbie, Shermy, Beast, Undead etc. As we know, first two belongs to players, as last 5-14 belongs to the monsters. But I never seen mobs with Urbie race. So, may be it is reserved for new player race?

There are copy-pasted links to skills from runesdatabase to one table: http://pastehtml.com/view/bp42sm2mc.html. Looks interesting: Psyron looks like tank, with sta/pdef/parry buffs and wears a hammers.

Are you sure the table didn't get Harpsyn and Psyron mixed up? I'm more confident that the Psyron's would have the [sychic skills over the harpsyn. Of course I could be wrong... just curious is all.

@ Ullion how could you ferget the Centaur class! omg i would lvoe to play a centaur and naga x.x /nerd rage.

i vote for dark elf race

All of the skills are written into the game. I don't know about the races or which skills belong to which class, but ehysta's skills are correct. There is more text in the descriptions in game. Psychic seems to use Focus as their pool and the other one uses Rage. Psychic (from the skill descriptions) seems to have dark damage skills and temporary buffing (Group and Self) skills. The Rune based one seems to have both offensive and a "Shield Form" that allows them to have aggro added to some skills and allows the player to use special skills. Both of these classes seem to use building attacks, each skill they use increases damage or something if the previous condition is active. The Rune one uses hammers, the Psychic one probably uses 2h staves or daggers. That all being said, they seem to work well into the classes that exist by using new character mechanics. They seem to have a lot of PvP skills that slow, stun and silence enemies. They also have skills that constantly drain their pool to deal damage in an area around them. There are probably more mechanics for both classes that we don't know yet.

That being said, are you guys looking at it wrong? I was thinking that the Psy and Har dont use ONLY those skills. For ex. a Psy/scout would obviously use focus or a Psy/war would use rage, and each of the skills are for the dual lasses and such, you guys are forgetting about that as not mentioned in earlier posts. They hae to make skills for every combinaiton possible.

Gig, if you look at the elite skills for... let's say Mage, you can see that there are some elites that cost focus, and others that cost rage. It's debatable which one is which. But it seems definite that 1 of the new classes uses rage, and the other uses focus.

and you're right, I did forget Centaurs! My apologies D:

Centaurs would be hell to gear, you'd need an extra pair of pants and boots. It would be kind of unfair, they wouldn't need a mount either.

If you look at it like that... Nagas wouldn't be a playable class either. =( They'd need a sleeve...

This is a good discusioon tho we're narrowing down the classes haah

i always wanted a pure summoner class without pets hes not worth like that type and not another tank-_- give us something different

Lolwhat?
Generally summoners summon monsters that do their bidding, aka pets.

yup i rather do summoning and buff my pet while it battles for me rather than i attack more than my pet, so few attacks for me and more buffs and attack for my pets

Anyways, it doesn't seem that the two new classes have any sign or hint of having pets. It is exciting with all of this being discovered very quickly.

i vote for dark elf race

That's what I was thinking as well. Big underground (underdark - ha) zone / continent.

He might be referring to dark elves from the elder scroll series, in which case underground has nothing to do with the being called Dark elvers.

I have the best idea for a new race. Molepeople.

Man, I'm working on my W/Wd right now and I probably need to go ahead and get my Scout 3rd class so I can do some horsy goodness in siege but like after looking through that list of skills @ that pastehtml link, I wanna play that harpsyn class with the hammers like wh0a. I <3 classes with chain skills that. (IE - Warrior).

I think it'll make a cool mage class with the dark spells that you can chain together as well. Haven't played a mage past lvl 10 since it seemed pretty boring. Maybe that will change my mind.

There we go, it's out and confirmed now, lol. Proper names are "Champion" and "Sorcerer" rather than "Psyron" and "Harpsyn", lol.

Quoted from "Ravesden;512269"

Saw this as well. One skill in particular caught my eye:

http://www.runesdatabase.com/skill/498757/soul-stepping

That's a lot of ouch in siege (if siege ever gets fixed)

Damn now i wanna be a mage ...i call shenanagans.
