Blademaster is a Transcendence Class in the Eighth Realm specializing in quick-striking melee combat that deals both physical and elemental damage.

History

Blademasters are those mortals who have devoted themselves to mastering the way of the blade, becoming precision-based warriors capable of rending opponents asunder with an almost supernatural finesse. They have trained extensively in making their blade more an extension of their body than a mere weapon and wield it with grace befitting that aim, flowing from move to move seamlessly, without pause, and in the blink of an eye. In doing so, they have learned to harness their energy as strong magical power that they channel into their blades, creating gales of wind or waves of fire from their weapon that they utilize as much as the steel of their blade. The entire focus of a Blademaster's skill is the uncanny agility and dexterity that they possess, and they rely on that as their defense, shifting around and through enemy attacks to wind up inside their guard or at their back.

Overview

As a Transcendence Class, Blademaster lacks in offense behind other classes such as Adept Rogue or Champion. What it lacks in power, however, it more than makes up for in speed - Blademasters boast an exceptional Agility rating as well as an impressive Critical Hit chance. One interrupt or Accuracy-reducing effect, however, could put the unwary Blademaster out of commission - the need to successfully chain attack skills to deal maximum damage, as well as an average defensive capability, make counterattacks potentially fatal.

Attributes

  • Velocity: For each rank of Velocity, Agility increases by 5%.
  • Reflex: For each rank of Reflex, Weapon Delay decreases by 1%.
