Class Augment Theorycraft

We already know some of the class skill augments but there are way more that we don’t know. I’m going to take my best stab at what they could be based off of skills we know and a whole lot of wild speculation. What do you think they could be? I’ll put the ones we have a clearer idea on in bold. Obviously even the hints they’ve given us are subject to change.

Mage
Teleportation
Elemental School
Fire
Frost
Lightning

Tank
Threat generation
Defense/various mitigation buffs
Terrain creation
Grabs/Pulls

Cleric
Life(heals)
Death(Resurrection of some sorts? )
Holy damage
Dispels(?)

Rogue
Critical Chance/damage
Stealth
Poisons/Bleeds
Disorients/blinds/snares

Bard
Buffs based based on your primary; possibly group wide
Debuffs based on your primary
Soft CC like sleeps, infatuates confuses
Illusions/Misdirects
(I struggled to think of a fourth, maybe one of the others gets broken up)

Ranger
Stealth/illusion detection
Range increase on abilities
Mobility that lets you create distance: jump backs, speed increases
Traps/delayed damage.

Fighter
Dashes/mobility that lets you close distance
Shields/temporary damage ignore
Buffs to weapons/weapon skills
I really struggled to think of a fourth for this one; to parallel with Ranger:
Close range proficiency on abilities

Summoner
All of these I think are going to involve summoning something since that’s kinda just what this archetype does. I have no clue how they would end up breaking it down. I feel like they would generally be temporary manifestations of the skill they are augmenting. Maybe something like:
Stationary summons
One time/short term summons one attack/maybe a few seconds
Temporary minions last 5 minutesish
Temporary armor/Weapon summons

So few are actually known or alluded to. What do you think each archetypes augments will end up being?

Heh, in some cases. They aren't mutually exclusive states, and the vast majority of humans are neither mad nor genius.

Lmfao Crow. Do u know Odin (Odin's Crows) was considered mad? I feel you were the perfect messenger.

Often the wise are thought to be mad, but that doesn't make the mad wise.

By the way, Blood Magic for Shaman Demon augments is based on Vanguard Blood Mage Healer, not WoW Blood Elf Mage.

Also, Angelic augments for Shaman is based on Celestial Healer from DCUO (another mention of the same request placed multiple months ago.) Trying not to disclose too much hidden info. Just making sure my position had not changed.

Cheers,

I'm not sure if our devs from Sony Online Entertainment are happy with all my SOE references after all of these years lol.

Steven: The Mage augment is the same grouping, but the way it affects the Active Skill --
You only receive Active Skills from your Primary Archetype... and then it gets augmented by your Secondary choice.

Will be very disappointed if Rogue secondary doesn't provide some kind of vanish/stealth skill. This quote makes me question if it will, because vanish/stealth seems like a new skill rather than an augment.

Of course, that disappointment will be within the context of Ashes looking like it will be the most amazing game ever.

It wont be vanish as in invisible. Steven has said stealth will not be 100% invisibility
