Flavor Skills

I haven't read anything but I'm hoping g they include class flavor skills. One thing I liked about EQ back when I played it , classes having skills that weren't combat orientated . Druids casting spirit of the wolf or higher level druids could summon a rainstorm by consuming an item and casting a spell. Conjurer's summoning weapons to give to summoned creatures. I think mages could create a inventory item that would give you a light source.

I'm sure I'm missing a ton just curious what people's thoughts are on these and if they should have a place in AoC. I think it would be cool to see something like a druid call a rainstorm during a siege and maybe even alter how that plays out giving a reduced fire damage buff or something.

  • In case you havent seen it, this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iNpeHv7l1Y">video</a> shows a demonstration of a number of out of combat abilities that could be in the final game. Hopefully they'll experiment a bunch with creative spells like these.
  • I watched it again and seems like there's more going on in it then I remembered. Maybe hearing they wanted to limit the skills on hot bars got me spooked a bit. Last thing I want is something like guild wars 2.
