Check out the most recent DevSpeak, all about the new and improved Spellslinger!
The New and Improved Spellslinger
I like to imagine the idea for the Spellslinger came out of brainstorming session devoted to making the idea of a cowboy in space even more appealing. It’s not necessary an easy task at first glance, some of the most iconic and recognizable sci-fi characters define what a space cowboy truly is. Then the folks over at Carbine studios, geniuses that they are, said “Let’s give them magic pistols!” And thus the Spellslinger was born.
For the third week in a row the WildStar team is showing off their new and improved class designs, and this week it’s all about the Spellslinger. Continue reading to see the news post containing links for all the info on the Spellslinger. Continue reading
Esper Livestream
Did you miss the recent Esper class livestream? Did you watch it and immediately want to see all of it again? You’re in luck, because you can watch the whole thing as many times as you like since the event was put up on Youtube. There are two parts, so make sure to watch both videos!
Esper Dev Speak Video
It is that time of the week – time for another class dev speak. This time Carbine developers go into more detail about Esper, the ranged dps/healer of the game. It also has various crowd control abilities (snares, roots, knockbacks, knosckdowns, subdue, “monitor turn-offs”), buffes and de-buffs and a freakin’ psionic blade that he manifests into existence to kill enemies.
As always, the video has some easter eggs in the disclaimer section and we have ripped out the frames for easy browsing of what the Disclaimer guy had to say (and to find out what he had for dinner that night apparently).
Check Out The Warrior Livestream
If you were not able to check out the Warrior livestream you’re in luck, thanks to the magic of the internet the whole stream can now be viewed over and over to your hearts content! Check it out and let us know what you think in the comments below!
Pilot Episode Of WildStar Livestream
If you didn’t get a chance to check out the very first WildStar livestream, which is likely since it wasn’t announced, you can now check it out via the WildStar YouTube channel. No major reveals in this pilot episode, but it’s still worth a look.
The Warrior Reborn
The Warrior is a class that was already introduced, but it’s received a new coat of paint since then and it’s time to take a second look. The warrior is exactly what you expect if you’ve played any MMO before; they have big weapons, big armor, they can tank, and they can dish out the damage. The interesting twist with WildStar’s warrior is their arm canon, which looks like it will give the warrior a few options when it comes to dealing with enemies at a range.
Head over to the official Warrior class page to get the full details straight from the developers themselves, and let us know what you think of the Warrior’s reintroduction in the comments below.
