The Zezenia Online Public Test Server is now open for all players! This server features a
New Talents System including new abilities for subclasses and balancing changes.
Please help us perfect this system with your testing and feedback! Constructive comments and bug reports in this thread will be rewarded with various tokens of our appreciation.
The test client can be downloaded
here. The Test Server is based on a snapshot, so don't be alarmed if some of your progress is missing.
New Talents
The new Talent System features a unique talent tree for each subclass. Talents are divided into three unlockable
tiers. Players can specialize in one of two subclass specific
special talents.
Each talent can be assigned 10-15 points depending on subclass. For instance, a Paladin may assign five extra points to the Fortification talent. One assignable point is gained every 10 levels.
To test talents to their full extent, you may level up to 500 at any time on the Test Server. Talk to NPC Jeff in the Ellaria depot.
New & Special Talents
In addition to existing talents Durability, Spirituality, Legerity, Expertise, Aggression, Fortification, Resistance, Healing & Weapon Boost the following talents are new:
*
Mana Steal: returns 10 mana points per talent point on each basic attack.
*
Multi Strike: adds a 2% chance per point to inflict an additional strike on each attack. (50% damage in PvP)
*
