Clouded Horizons:Blademaster

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

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.
