Bit of info here from the Sticky

Hi, im still a bit undecided on my class and i was wandering how does playing a Lich would feel, are they more Melee or Caster oriented? I was also wondering what the DPS of the conqueror might turn out to be in the soldier archetype.

 

 

 

 

A lich is a melee casting hybrid, he has some spells but he will be using them in melee range.

 

Quote:

The herald and the lich sounds like they're pretty much alike, same goes for demonologist and necromancer. What's the main differences, apart from lich and necromancer using undead and herald and demonologist using demons?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well the Necromancer and the Demonologist are not really alike besides the fact they are both mages with lots of ranged spells. I can see how you could consider the Lich and Herald of Xotli to be more similar but their differences primarily lie in the effects of their combo's and their spells and how those work together.

 

Quote:

Will a team which relies on Heralds and Liches for tanking be at a sizable disadvantage versus a more traditional Soldier-based front line? I think it will likely depend on the context, the soldier based classes will still have an edge but the Heralds and Liches are front line classes. Will there be special formations for Mages? ……..example a group of Demonologists get together and use their combined powers to invoke a giant Demon to smash the walls of the battlekeeps.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was one of the ways we wanted to see formations be used in Conan; ritualised magic we think is very Conanesque

Is that his transformation? Will they appear this way after it? Absolutely cool! http://godlike.cl/up/im/25/lichtransf.jpg The lich does not transform, he leaves the husk of his body and animates the body of a long dead Acheronian soldier. This is different from the Herald who allows himself to be taken over by possession. and no the bottom right is not the lich transformation, that is a boss.

there we have, and the wait goes on!

Hey marketing department if your reading this, pretty please put some Druid / Stormcaller stuff out first

Funny... you quoted a post of mine on AoC forum.

Anyway, isn't really wrong. You won't "transform", you will possess an acheronian warrior body. Speaking about gameplay... i think it's quite the same.
