The folks at Perpetual Entertainment have given us the latest feat tree from their upcoming Roman myth-based MMORPG, Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising. The Solider class is their tank class and this journal speaks of them, then shows us what they can learn.
Soldiers' offensive capabilities are truly overwhelming in their breadth and lethality. The "Triarius Strike" is the basic attack move that Soldiers can perform to inflict extra damage on their enemies. When you're hoping to inflict massive damage, however, the "Soldier Combo" is what you need to queue up--the animation alone is worth it. "Charge" allows your Soldier to move rapidly into battle, while "Knockdown" sends your opponent sprawling in the dirt. "Nerve Strike" is another particularly devastating attack that Soldiers can learn fairly early; it reduces an enemy's combat abilities for a short time, in addition to inflicting initial damage. Soldiers who have reached level 20 can perform "Silencing Strike," an assault move that, in addition to being quite powerful, also has the ability to disrupt spellcasting. "Plumbatae," which is part of the "Shields" feat tree, allows Soldiers to throw several small projectiles at their adversary. "Armor Breaking" is part of the "2-Handed Weapons" feat tree and is such a powerful attack that it reduces your opponent's armor rating. |
The whole feature is here.

It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.
Although I hate playing warrior/soldier or w/e u wanna call them type classes, I like how they set up the feat tree. Especially, the defensive stance for defending against ranged attacks. Also, they're skills that you can only use with 2-handed weapons. That's better then seeing a warrior with a 1handed using mortal strike...
Good lucky GnH!
Is it me, or is that way too much like the NGE?
No choices at any level, I'm just given what the devs want me to have??
Come on somebody make a good sandbox . . . PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actualy I played THIS game at the SoE block party, and have played most MMORPGs in the last 7 years, so keep your mouth shut.
Then you are a brainless tool.
Awww, did I make a sycofant angry? boo hoo.
And btw, the game is point and click movement.
some of the stuff in the game definitely sounds like gw. not that thats bad because gw rocks.
I don't think it is like GW in terms of skills. First up you have 2 classes in GW while having access to hundreds of skills...there for it looks more like an EQ or WoW type game core design for this turkey
However it does look to be another typical fantasy mmorpg with a veneer of history....
point(less) and click combat...boring ... give me targeting you wusses
standard leveling ...another class based game when all real gamers really want is skills based...Eve still top I see!
when the revolution comes I will be the first to round up all the devs who keep churning out these types of games and feed them to my pigs...
is that they mispelled soldier!
What bugs me is that you get a new skill from level 1 to 5, but after that only at level 10, 15, 20... :P
I much prefer getting 1 new skill at every level. Makes gaining a level worthwhile, and eliminates grinding another 5 more levels in the same darn way before getting anything new to enjoy.

I agree with calling him a brainless tool seeing as how he misspelled sycophant. Learn2spell before you insult someone. Otherwise you just end up looking like an idiot.
Learn to use complete words. Otherwise you just end up looking like a pathetic AoL kiddie who has no friends to chat with on AIM.
I'm sorry. I was trying to speak your language so you'd understand. My bad.
Riiiight, you're not just an idiot who complains about others spelling and then substitutes numbers for words in the same post....you did it all on purpose....RIIIIIIGHT.
God you're pathetic.
I am a little disappointed with what I am seeing.
Oh well....nothing new....it is another face of the same game mechanics we seen for the past couple of years.
Thanks for getting this thread back on track by mentioning the game.
From what I've seen with vid clips the animations look vary unique. Sometimes the packaging can keep the kiddies entertained as long as the stuff beneath it.
I have high hopes for this game, I have played a few mmorpgs and none realy felt like it was something new. I hope the group of group works for this game and it kicks ass.
