Crowd Control

Just wondering since you Devs worked on Classics like Everquest and Vanguard , do you have a Class like an Enchanter planned for this game? Charm , Mez and Stun Abilities and more support than pure DPS.

I read you can skill your classes in different ways. But do you make Crowd Control wanted and needed in dungeons?

    I am new and very curious about this as well.

    Cc ( crowd control) will always be needed. Speculation is that the bard maybe like a shaman which can charm/debuff enemies. Also an archer and mage will always automatically come with some form of cc to help with mobbing and over all control.

    I can't imagine an MMO without CC, so you can bet very confidently that it will happen. These devs wouldn't let that playstyle slide.

    Man i miss my Old Enchanter from EQ. Was a must have for the Mez/Slows and Haste buffs! made the difference between things going well or not.
    Today's generic games only require Tank/Heals combo for partys and fill the spaces with anything else. Back then having a CC was as important as a tank and heals.

    CC is a MUST for any MMO! How will us mages and squishy classes hope to survive if we can't snare those attacking or trying to flee? ;)

    @Gemiichan, are you adorably squishy like your picture? *hugs* Yesh! >v<

    I believe there is going to be CC based on what the devs have talked about and seem to be envisioning about the game, especially since it seems to be a very party-based game. I hope the Bard becomes sorta like a support class which can help allies and provide much needed CCs and debuffs for the enemies.
