Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen Introduces Tank Classes in New Parting the Veil Video
healer-focused preview video with another Parting the Veil episode showcasing another one of the high fantasy MMORPG’s classes. The video starts off with an introduction to the different weapon techniques that each class will have access to, which adds a slight degree of strategy to the game’s combat.
The team then offers a general overview of the tank archetype along with details about the three tank classes that players will be able to choose from: the Warrior, Paladin, and Dire Lord.
The Warrior has had its Resilience system removed in favor of ive mitigation bonuses granted by armor and the ability to place buff banners. Paladins have access to a range of healing skills that they can use on themselves or to their allies, while Dire Lords are the damage-dealers of the tank class employing swift and powerful melee attacks to wreak havoc on enemies in addition to self-healing skills that allow them to stay in the fight longer.
The developers also touch on how each of the tank classes gathers and maintains aggro and how each of them has been designed to also be viable in solo play. You can learn more about tanks and how they function in the full developer stream below.
