Я очень надеюсь, что будет дальше не снижение качества бумаги, а смена твердой обложки на мягкую. Ибо при всей преданности к вархаммеру, мне дешевле выходит заказывать английские версии книг. Это учитывая, что я старался и стараюсь покупать каждую книгу, которая выходит на русском. Простой обыватель не готов платить 450-500 рублей за книгу в книжном, когда есть иные аналоги. Плюс в качестве частного пожелания, что будут переводиться не все подряд книги. Тот же "Хельсрич" очень надолго отбил желание покупать книги...

Highlights * New Careers! Unleash the savage fury of the relentless Orc Choppa, or take up the doom-laden oath of the unstoppable Dwarf Slayer. These two new melee-focused careers relish the thrill of fighting on the front lines and laying waste to all foes that come within reach of their mighty blades. * Bitter Rivals join the battle! Introducing the newest live event for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. "Bitter Rivals" focuses on the ancient hatred that burns between the Dwarf and greenskin races. Millennia of conflict in the Worlds Edge Mountains have honed the enmity that exists between the Orcs and Goblins and the stout Dwarfs to a razor-sharp edge, and when these nemeses meet in battle, it is war without mercy. * Fight for control of the warped Twisting Tower! The battle rages in this new Tier 4 Scenario found deep in the heart of the maddening Chaos Wastes. Here, the warping power of Chaos is at its peak, transforming the very fabric of reality in defiance of all reason. Warriors of Order and Destruction must grapple for control of this ancient citadel, for if the secrets of the Twisting Tower should fall into enemy hands, the tide of battle will surely turn. Like the Reikland Factory, the Twisting Tower will be available for all players for a limited time as a preview to accompany the Bitter Rivals event. Be sure to stake your claim to the Twisting Tower while you can! * Answer the Call to Arms with new Realm vs. Realm gameplay enhancements! Introducing the new Open RvR Rallying Cry system that summons you to key battles for Tiers 1 and 2. The new Zone Control Domination System for Tiers 2 through 4 rewards a realm that truly conquers the battlefield. Also, many improvements to siege weapons ensure that the mighty engines of war are now more lethally effective than ever. See below for additional details. * New treasures await! Across-the-board itemization improvements have been made to the Fortresses, world dungeons, and city dungeons of WAR, including better world drops, quest rewards, Influence rewards, and more! * Crafting System Improvements! We've made many improvements to the game's crafting system, including pairing-off specific gathering skills with specific production skills in order to make crafters more self-sufficient. Also, the leveling curve of trade skills has been improved and fewer components are required to create items. Last, but certainly not least, is the addition of new craftable items! * Easy Public Quests make their debut in Tiers 2, 3, and 4. Scaled for courageous bands of 1 to 3 adventurers, these Public Quests offer a rewarding PvE experience without a large commitment of forces. You'll find one Easy Public Quest in each Chapter, so gather a few friends, or venture out alone... if you dare! * Multiple mail attachments! Now you can send several attached items with a single mail message. * Two new secret lairs await! Finding the new hidden lairs is only half the battle. Figuring out how to open the door - and surviving the dangers inside - is another matter, entirely! General Changes & Bug Fixes * In combat, your own health value could fluctuate up and down inaccurately. This will no longer occur. * When instructed to attack a target on the other side of a closed door, pets will no longer run through the door. * Sometimes when players died, they would appear to others to be sliding around on the ground after respawning. This issue has been fixed. * /ignore will persist properly between logins. * Players will no longer incorrectly see other players on their mounts after they have dismounted. * Opening Movies will no longer always be at max volume. * When using GTAoE abilities, sometimes the targeting reticle graphic would get stuck to the player instead of showing properly where the cursor has targeted. This has been resolved. * When a player changes appearances (such as a Squig Herder getting into their Squig Armor) other players targeting that player will no longer lose their target. * When using flight masters, the flight cinematic will now be less wobbly for Destruction characters. * When a player uses a flight master and attempts to enter a part of the game world that is currently down or not running, the player will be returned to the flight master instead of getting stuck in the flight cinematic. * The ground targeting interface has been tweaked. When you are attempting to place a ground target over an invalid surface, there is now a separate ground decal used to show you that you're targeting an invalid surface. There's also now a ground-target-specific icon which will grey and un-grey depending on where you are mousing over. * When attempting to loot from a pile of corpses, the client will now prioritize corpses with loot on them over empty corpses, making it easier to loot. * Under heavy server load situations, buffs and debuffs will no longer last longer than they should. * Monsters will now be less prone to going into an evade state and returning to their spawn point when trying to reach targets. * Pets will have a more accurate line of sight when trying to use abilities on their targets. * When mousing over the Tier Label on the Pairing Map, there is now a tooltip that displays the level range for the Tier. * Players will now be able to click on the round button on the flight map to fly to refugee camps, rather than just the text name on the right side of the map. * Missing zones have been added to the flight map. Travel map layout issues have been resolved. * Monsters which flee from combat due to being at low hit points will now immediately begin moving at a slower speed.

Instead of increasing all ability cast times by a flat value, it will now increase cast times by a % of the total cast time of the spell. As a result, melee abilities and instant cast spells will no longer be affected by Disorient since their cast time is effectively 0 seconds.

Public Quest points on the map have also been updated to reflect these difficulty levels as well as suggested player numbers to successfully complete. * Numerous epic quests within the Dwarf vs. Greenskin pairing have been modified to be more immersive and rewarding. For many this means that the length of the quests have been increased in order to tell a grander story. The experience and coin rewards have been adjusted to account for these changes. * Two new lairs have been added to the game.

Crafting We have introduced a number of improvements to crafting in version 1.2. The focus of these changes was to better pair-off specific gathering skills with specific production skills, making it easier for crafters to be self-sufficient. In addition, we have made a concentrated effort to improve the leveling curves of all trade skills as well as reduce the number of different materials needed to make various items. In addition to these changes, we have also introduced a number of new player-crafted products. Please refer to the sections on each trade skill below for more specific information. General * The Apothecary production skill will now receive the majority of its materials from the Butchering and Cultivation gathering skills. * The Talisman Crafting production skill will now receive the majority of its materials from the Scavenging and Salvaging skills. * Players can right-click on crafting items in the backpack to auto-move them to the appropriate slot when their crafting window is open. * The use of Trade skills will now be interrupted when the character moves. * The Ctrl-Right-Click user interaction has been added for item conversion, e.g. plants being converted back into seeds. * Salvaging will now display the percentage chance of success on the item tooltip. * Talisman crafting no longer removes materials from the crafting window if there are more left in the stack. * Apothecary ingredient subtypes (Gold Dust, Essence, etc.) are now reflected in the item list view and item tooltips. What happens to crafting components that are removed from the game? During the process of adjusting and streamlining the various trade skills, we have removed or changed a number of crafting components. Players who have these components will be compensated automatically by one of two events. * Certain trade skill components have been automatically converted to new components that have the same effect as the old in the new recipes. * Certain trade skill components have been removed from the game. Components that have been removed have been converted into a new item type. Collect 20 of these and you can combine them for a special limited-time-only reward! Cultivation Cultivation has a number of significant and exciting new changes in version 1.2! We have reduced the number of materials needed in Cultivation, allowing players to save significantly on inventory space. In addition, we have streamlined the leveling curve and added plant reaping to produce seeds. This will allow Cultivators to become much more self-sufficient. Finally, we have removed the vast majority of seed drops from the world, since the production of seeds can now be done by harvesting the plants the player has grown. General Changes: * Numerous new seed and plant types have been added. * Most seeds have been removed from monster loot tables. * During the refinement process, a number of extraneous seeds were removed. * All seed and plant rarities have been adjusted, 1-175 skill items are now common, 200 skill items are now uncommon. * Seed families are now named similarly for clarity. * Increased total number of Apothecary main ingredients that come from Cultivation . * Seed tooltips will inform the player on what plant is grown. * The chance to achieve an exceptional cultivation result has been increased. Plant Reaping: Plant reaping is a new skill given to Cultivators. This allows the Cultivator to harvest most plants for seeds as well as for Apothecary stabilizers. * Reaping a plant will consume the plant and produce 2 - 4 seeds for that plant type * Reaping a plant will also produce 1 - 2 stabilizers that can be used in Apothecary. Adjustments to Critical Results: We have adjusted the results of a critical and super-critical success to produce additional plants as well as potentially creating a plant of the next tier. * Normal germination will result in a 2 plants * Critical success germination will result in 3 plants * Super-Critical success germination will result in 3 plants as well as an additional plant of the next skill tier and a Dye ingredient type for Apothecary. Changes to Additives: We have significantly reduced the number of additives needed, allowing players to use additives across a greater number of plant skill levels. * A number of soil, watering cans, and nutrients have been removed from the game. * Soil now reduces germination time and increases critical chance. * Watering Cans now reduce germination time and increase the chance of an exceptional result. * Nutrients now reduce germination time and reduce the chance of failure. * Cultivation Additives can now be purchased from vendors and guild vendors. * Cultivation Additives removed from Butchering and Scavenging loot tables. Changes to Rare seed & plant types: We have adjusted rare con seeds. These seeds are only earned through specialty drops, quests, and events in the world, and are used to grow rare plants used in potent potions. As such, very rare seeds and plant types have special rules for both germination and reaping. * Special rare seeds have been added to select world loot tables. These produce rare plants used for powerful new Apothecary products. * All special seed/plants are set to rare, and are Bind on Pickup. * Failure to germinate a rare seed results in a copy of the rare seed. * Successfully germinating a rare seed results in a plant and a copy of the rare seed. * A critical germination of a rare seed results in 3 plants and a copy of the rare seed. * An exceptional germination of a rare seed results in 3 plants and a copy of the rare seed as well as a Dye ingredient type for Apothecary. Apothecary Apothecary has gotten a moderate update in version 1.2. The focuses of these changes were to streamline where Apothecary crafters received their determinants, as well cleaning up and streamlining the progression. In addition, we have added a number of new potions for Apothecary. Experiment with new ingredients and discover them for yourself! * Added main ingredients to create a number of new potions, including hybrid stat potions. * All buff potions will now persist through death. * Apothecary will now get the majority of its main ingredients from Cultivation and Butchering. * The positive effect on potent potions has been improved. * Instability during an exceptional brew result will now produce a normal stability potion. * Added the new the ingredient type "Stimulant". Stimulants will increase the chance of a critical result when brewing a potion. * Racial Vials have been removed. * Reduced the number of vials to five types, each progressively more stable and powerful than the last. * The negative effects of a Volatile potion have been increased. * The positive effects of a Volatile potion have been made significantly weaker than their non-Volatile counterparts. * Stable potions effects have been made significantly stronger. Butchering Butchering has been adjusted slightly in version 1.2, with the primary change being the addition of a significant number of Apothecary ingredients. This has been done to allow Butchers to successfully skill up their Apothecary skill without needing a second gathering skill. * Apothecary ingredients that can be gathered from Butchering have been significantly increased. * Increased the number of monster types each ingredient can be harvested from. * Cultivation Nutrients have been removed. * The drop rate for Stabilizers has been increased. Scavenging Scavenging has been adjusted slightly in version 1.2, with the primary change being the removal of a number of Apothecary determinants and the addition of a number of Talisman fragments. This will allow Scavengers to successfully skill up their Talisman crafting skill without needing a second gathering skill. * Talisman-Making fragments can now be Scavenged. * Talisman-Making boxes have been added to harvest drop tables. * Scavenging drop rates have been improved. * Cultivation additives have been removed. * Apothecary ingredients have been removed. Salvaging Salvaging has been adjusted slightly in version 1.2, with the primary changes focusing on improving the rate at which Salvagers can skill up. In addition, the results from Salvaging have been adjusted so Salvagers can successfully skill up their Talisman crafting skill without needing a second gathering skill. * Players can now skill up even if they fail to Salvage a fragment. * Fragment figurines have been introduced. Salvaging these items will allow a player to skill-up without risking valuable magical equipment in the process. These can be found from PQ rewards. * Gold Dust has been added to Salvage tables. * The improved user interface will now notify the player of a successful Salvage. * Players will now receive a Fragment, a Magic Essence, and a Gold Dust on a successful Salvage. * Removed Whisper and Echo refining. * All success rates have been improved noticeably. Talisman Crafting Talisman crafting has been adjusted moderately in version 1.2, with the primary changes focusing on allowing players to create Talismans without needing a large number of additional components. In addition, we have reduced the potency of all Resistance Talismans in order to bring them in-line with other Talisman bonuses. * Resistance Talismans have had their effect reduced by 50%. * Talisman crafting will now only require a Fragment and Container to successfully craft a Talisman. Components have been made optional and will continue to increase the power of the Talisman. * New Containers have been added for Talisman making. * Talismans now stack in your inventory. Guild Crafting Merchants We have made adjustments to the guild merchants who sell crafting supplies. These changes represent adjustments needed after we refined many recipes and skill-up progressions. In addition, we have added the first of many "Guild Exclusive" crafting materials that can make unique crafted items that are not available any other way. * Crafting materials from skill 0 - 74 will appear on guild merchant at Guild Rank 7. * Crafting materials from skill 75 - 149 will appear on the guild merchant at Guild Rank 21. * Crafting materials for skill 150+ will appear on the guild merchant at Guild Rank 28. * A new, exclusive Skill 75 Apothecary main ingredients are available at Guild Rank 7. * A new, exclusive Skill 150 Apothecary main ingredients are available at Guild Rank 21. * A new exclusive Skill 200 Apothecary main ingredients are available at Guild Rank 28. * Purchase costs on guild merchant materials have been adjusted to ensure that guild-purchased items will not make player-sold ingredients obsolete on the Auction House. 76432 Crafting Bug Fixes * Ashfeather Vultures can now be Butchered. The following monsters have been adjusted so that they can be Scavenged: * Bloody Sun Boyz * Bloody Sun Bruisa * Dire Portent * Griffon Handgunner * Hammerstriker Warrior * Hammerstriker Worker * Meshel Rhurvan * Redmane Rangers * Skycaster * Twisted Wargor * Uthorin Despoiler * Weeping Sore Cohort * The following crafting components have had their tooltips corrected: * Wisp of Brume * Serrated Hookberry * Sallow Argost Creep Seed * Wolfpaw Clubmoss * The backgrounds displayed on the following crafting items have been corrected: * Mottled Clubmoss Spore * Cyclopean Jack O' Lantern Spore * "Mortar & Pestle" crafting components are now available on merchants. * Fusing a single Talisman from a stack will consume only one Talisman instead of the whole stack. * Corporeal Talisman Fragments will now properly produce Corporeal Resist Talismans. * "Superior Fading Talisman of Brawn" has been corrected to give +5 Strength. * Volatile potions that have had tooltip issues have been corrected to display the potions' advantages and disadvantages. This includes the following: * Volatile Corporeal * Volatile Spirit * Volatile Armor * Volatile Damage Over Time * Volatile Heal Over Time * Volatile Elemental * Volatile Damage Shield * Volatile AOE Damage Over Time * Volatile Ground Target AOE Snare * Volatile Frontal Cone Damage Over Time * Ballistic Potions have had their icons corrected. * Players can no longer cycle through crafting items by opening and closing the loot bags. * All seeds will now have a minimum 1 minute "Time Left" grow time. Itemization Itemization of dungeons and capital cities continues to be one of our key concerns. In version 1.2 we are continuing our look at itemization and ensuring that the various areas in the game reward players properly for their effort. In addition we are also taking a look at Fortresses and adjusting some of their loot as well. Player Mounts * Many mounts have been renamed. Existing mounts will have their names updated. * We have added two additional mount variants for each race. These have been added to the Stable masters in the capital cities. * We have added three additional mount variants exclusive to guilds only. These can be purchased by visiting the Guild Quartermaster once your guild reaches Guild Rank 25. * We have added three new improved mounts (Faster & Lower dismount chance) exclusive to guilds only. These can be purchased by visiting the Guild Quartermaster once your guild reaches Guild Rank 37. Mount Gunbad Mount Gunbad has received some moderate changes in version 1.2. The most exciting of these include completely new loot not found outside of the dungeon. In addition, we will continue to balance the amount of loot dropped by the various bosses General: * New, unique Uncommon, Rare, and Very Rare items have been added to Mount Gunbad. These items are available as dropped items from all monsters in the dungeon. * Mount Gunbad PQ loot has been updated with a number of new unique drops.

Скилл Chaotic Rift. Притягивает к магусу 9 целей в радиусе 65 футов. Далее наши аое-дпсеры лупят, а хилеры держут меня, пока я рутаю и станю.

Mordret Несогласен. Пати сорк + 2 марадера + Док (шаман) + зилот куда лучше. Реже мара заменяется чухой, за счет спама деф. моралек. Как факт такая пати раскладывает до 12-15 человек легко, ибо 9 умирают сразу (рифт) и остается 3-6, что, естественно уравнивает шансы.

Mordret Возможно, но в данном вопросе мы рассматриваем (по-крайней мере я) пати клановую :)

Mordret Cочетание талисманов на резисты, а так же частей сентинеля и дарк промиса дают во истину чудеса, поверь )

Mordret Всё гораздо проще, у нас вичка подняла себе около 1500 элемент и 1000 корпор. резиста, естественно всё учитывается под баффами. Однако опять же - вархаммер - не соло игра, и встретить пвп 1х1 достаточно трудно. На тему единственного - тут несоглашусь полностью. Простая тактика - рифт - 9 трупов в зерге, при этом брайты являются самыми желанными гостями не только потому, что у них мало НР, дохнут моментом, но и из-за тактики, которая понижает мораль при смерти имперца.

Earlier this week we implemented the fifth phase of the ongoing experience enhancements. In response to your valuable feedback, Mythic have reduced the required experience needed to attain ranks 20 through 33. As a result, it will now take you less time to advance through Tier 3 and the earlier ranks of Tier 4. We hope you will enjoy the brisk new pace of advancement, as well as the many challenges and rewards that await you in Tier 4! Additionally, here’s a round-up of hotfixes from the last week. Careers Black Guard - Wave of Scorn: This ability will no longer stack its movement reduction with other Wave of Scorns. In addition, snare-removal abilities will now work properly on Wave of Scorn. White Lion - Flashing Claws: The bonus from this Tactic will no longer stack with itself. User Interface The Flightmaster maps of either contested capital city (Altdorf or The Inevitable City) will now function correctly to take players to their associated refugee camp. Content Dralel the Whitefire Matron in The Lost Vale will now properly reset after defeating all players. Skiv Redwarp in The Warpblade Tunnels will now properly reset after defeating all players. Slayer Grayoath's health has been adjusted to be more appropriate for his level. Items Harvest Boyz Chain: This item will now correctly display its stats. Lost Boyz Chain: This item will now correctly display its stats. Harvest Sledge: This weapon’s DPS rating has been adjusted to bring it more in line with other Influence rewards of the same level. Lost Sledge: This weapon’s DPS rating has been adjusted to bring it more in line with other Influence rewards of the same level. Raging Spanner: This item now has the correct icon. Public Quests Poisonwing Canyon: Fixed an issue that was causing some monsters to respawn too rapidly. Rescue of Aenares: Vethania Morokar can now once again be attacked at the proper time. Realm vs. Realm Guards will now spawn properly at the Senlathain Stand Battlefield Objective in Caledor. The doors to Fel Landing Fortress will reset properly when an attack on the Fortress fails. Fortress and Keep Guards will no longer become stuck when leaving or returning to their original posts. See you on the field!

Mordret Достаточно сильный урон сводится на нет хорошей защитой от Элемент\Корпор атак, но с другой стороны зерг брайтов в фортресе творит действительно чудеса.

Продолжу. К сожалению я не могу редактировать пост, потому что слишком много картинок. Очень надеюсь, что это исправимо. Злейшим врагом магуса (помимо баффа Unstupable, который на магуса щедро вешают танки ордера) является White Lion, правда только уровня 40. Танкам, которые находятся в пати с магусом помимо спама защитной моральки следует таунтить каждого льва, который следует к магусу, ибо это является одной из немногих помех рифтящему магусу. Так же настоятельно рекомендую тренироваться на дверях кипа в измерении заветной дистанции "65", потому как зачастую магус вынужден использовать рифт около гвардов (камп\серпент).

Daemonic Lash - Единственный скилл магуса, который тот может использовать во время движения, при этом нанося весь урон от умения моментально. Pandemonium - достаточно хороший дот, однако магусу его следует использовать только в случае, если он имеет лишнюю секунду для использования скила. Baleful Transmogrification и Withered Soul Два дота, имеющие дистанцию 100, и колдующиеся моментально, во время движения. Достаточно удобны, когда преследуешь цель, которая убегает от тебя. Теперь перейдём к остальным умениям, которые использует магус. Aegis of Orange Fire - Единственный сел-хил магуса, который даёт так же 1200НР к макс. значению. Рекомендую использовать после рифта, когда магус получает макс. кол-во дамага. До рифта использовать бессмысленно по той причине, что бафф висит всего 20 сек. Daemonic Armor - Без использования этого скила магусу не следует начинать пвп, потому что он фактически удваивает броню, что позволяет пережить рифт. - Бафф на корпореал резист, который следует баффать около 20-30 футов около сопартийца. Стоит отметить, что бафф на резист зилота даст только элементал и спиритуал резисты, а банка на корп. резист не даст эффекта вовсе. Закончив со скилами, переходим к тактикам, который использует магус. Их всего 4. Endless Knowledge - Тактика на интелект. Продолжение ниже [Добавлено позже] Close Quarters - Тактика, увеличивающая значительно урон магуса-рифтера. Chaotic Attunement - Моментальный вызов демонов Tzeentch's Warding - Тактика дающая элементал резист. Одна тактика за реноун очки. The "Empire" Fears Me - Тактика достаточно удобна по той причине, что у ордера 4 класса персонажей, 2 из которых умирают достаточно быстро (вичхантер и брайт визард), что позволяет эффективно снижать мораль игрокам. Теперь переходим к моралькам. Морали 1-го уровня: Grasping Darkness - Мораль, позволяющая на 6 секунд замедлить цель, тем самым давая возможость догнать её и убить. Достаточно удобно, когда преследуешь "жирных" по реноуну персонажей. Морали 2-го уровня. Focused Mind - Данную мораль следует использовать в том случае, если против Вас находится грамотная, слаженная пати ордера, которая норовит использовать всевозможные сайленсы, дизейблы и пр. Достаточно удобно, когда есть возможность игнорировать это. Roiling Winds - Наиболее частоиспользуемая мораль у магуса, за счет того, что она наносит 1200 урона в тениче 4х секунд, при этом нанося повреждения не только цели, но и всем, кто около неё. Морали 3-го уровня. Scintillating Energy - Обычный стан + 1200 урона. Очень удобно, когда необходимо остановить цель. Однако вешает на 40 сек. анстапбл. Морали 4-го уровня. У магуса нет хороших моралей 4-го уровня, которые ему следует использовать. Подводя итог моралей магуса мы видим, что магус - персонаж, нацеленный на быстрое нанесение урона целям, которые притянул. Теперь переходим к параметрам, которые стоит качать\использовать магусу. Wounds - Чем больше у магуса НР, тем лучше. На данный момент у автора топика 7400НР + 1200 от баффа. Это не предел, потому как очередной бонус от дарк промиса даст ещё 690НР. Чем больше у магуса НР - тем больше шансов пережить рифт, это стоит понимать. M.Crit - Второй по необходимости параметр у магуса, позволяющий наносить гораздо больший урон. Учитыва тот факт, что у магуса зачастую нет времени на использование всех его абилок м. крит компенсирует это. На данный момент у автора топика 29 м.крита в рифт. ветке (учитывая тот момент, что на 45-м уровне бонус м. крита 12%). Intelligence - Третий параметр, необходимый магусу для успешной игры, он определяет урон, а так же шанс прохождения скилов, которые легко могут сбить. Toughness - Вопреки общему мнению большинства магусов данный параметр почти не нужен, потому как поглощение урона не работает на входящие морали, а прокачивание данного параметра лишь уменьшить кол-во НР. [Добавлено позже] Теперь перейдём к действиям магусов в бою. Стоит отметить, что общая тактика магуса в бою - Рифт, Рут, Увеличение НР , с дальнейшим использованием АОЕ дотов. Эта тактика стандартна и универсальна для всех и всего. На осадах (Атака) магус и его группа должны патрулировать заднюю дверь, дабы подкрепление не заходило внутрь, у основной двери магус почти бесполезен, как показала практика. На осадах (Защита) магус должен, координируя свои действия с хилерами (использовав увеличение НР, включив ауру на дамаг, получив хоты на реген НР) и дамагерами вылезти из основных ворот и притянуть осаждающих под масло. При этом магусу достаточно повесить 1 дот, дабы получить чуть больше РП и постараться вернуться в кип на время отката заклинания. В открытом бою (серпент\поле перед кипом) магус должен стараться подойти как можно ближе к 3-й линии - брайт визарды и хилеры и стараться притянуть именно их, при этом задев танков, которые остались позади. Магус должен опасаться любого отброса ибо он может сорвать рифт, испортив тем самым всё. По команде в чат\вентрилло магус притягивает и аое дамагеры используют свои скилы для максимально быстрой нейтрализации жертв. Для примеру как правило сыгранная пати на серпенте может сделать 120, а то и более убийств, всё зависит от терпения стороны ордера, ибо те стремительно покидают игру. Думаю это всё. Если что то упустил - спрашивайте :)

В данной статье я постараюсь максимально подробно расписать роль магуса на пвп. Стоит заранее отметить, что магус-рифтер требует для себя максимального внимания хилеров к своей персоне и, зачастую один из хилеров уделяет всё внимание только магусу для поддержания его живым. Начнем описание магуса с того, как мы раскидаем наши очки мастерства. Вкладываем 15 очков в 3-ю ветку (Path of daemonology), 5 (на 40 реноун уровне - 6) очков вкладываем в Parth of Changing. Остальные очки вкладываем в Aegis of Orange Fire, Agonizing Torrent, Chaotic Rift, Seed of Chaos и Chaotic Attunement. Теперь перейдём к скилам, которые использует магус. Предлагаю разбить скилы магуса на те, которые наносят дамаг и те, которыми можно влиять на действия игроков (контроль, проще говоря). Нанчем со скилов контроля: Chaotic Rift - первый и самый основной скилл магуса, который тот использует на пвп. Из особенностей данного скила хочу отметить тот факт, что кастовать его стоит, находясь или на одной линии с игроками порядка или, стартуя на 20-35 футах от себя. Почему не 65? Спросите Вы. Всё просто - цели живые и они прекрасно понимают, что если их зарифтят - они умрут. Выжить может только кобс или айронбрейкер, отойдя от всех аое с 15-20% НР. Так же хочу отметить, что есть Вас откинули, отбросили или совершили иное действие, которое дало Вам бафф Unstupable (как правило работает на баффах, которые висят 7-10 сек) - то до тех пор, пока 2\3 этого баффа не пройдут рифтить бесполезно - след. каст рифта будет провальным и магус выпадает из боя на 30 секунд. Tzeentch's Grasp - Он же рут. Данное умение следует использовать моментально после того, как будет использован рифт, ибо данный скилл игнорирует анстапбл, который вешает рифт и даёт драгоценную секунду для того, что бы аое-дамагеры из пати смогли поставить\использовать свои аое для максимального эффекта. Daemonic Infestation - Он же мина, которую нет смысла использовать в открытом пвп (из-за того, что кастуется она 1 секунду + ещё секунду нужно потратить на наведение на необходимую точку. Так же хочу заметить, что это умение даёт целям бафф Unstupable, после чего цели временно становятся иммунны к рифту. Данное умение следует использовать только как мину - заминировать заднюю дверь в кипе. Поставить пару перед основной дверью, когда у той останется 2-3% НР (тут стоит обратить внимание, что мина не вечна и устанавливать её нужно обращая внимание на скорость поломки двери). Summon Blue Horror и Instability - Демон, которого я привел в качестве примера выбран исключительно по эстетическим соображениям. Для взрыва подходит абсолютно любой демон и они не отличаются друг от друга ничем. Стоит отметить, что для связки вызвать демона-взорвать его следует обязательно использовать тактику, позволяющую вызывать демонов инст. кастом, а не 2х секундным (о тактиках ниже). Достаточно эффективно, когда не все цели притянулись\не сработал рифт или когда магус отступает, кнокдаун на 5 секунд выручал не раз. Warping Blast - Казалось бы на первый взгляд бесполезный скилл для аое дамагера\рифтера. Одиночный отброс нашел свое применение в те моменты, когда нужно прогнать назойливого танка или отогнать его от хилеров. На этом скилы контроля магуса заканчиваются. Как мы видим магус персонаж-контроллер, который может так или иначе затруднить продвижение цели к пати\самому магусу. Теперь перейдём к боевым скилам. Warpfire - Первый, пожалуй самый основной скилл магуса, который тот должен использоваться для поражения множества целей в площади. Как правило очень удобно, когда после рифта с минимальными значениями НР цели стараются отойти. Infernal Blast - Первый дот, который магус должен успеть использовать перед целями, которые стоять вблизи него. Стоит помнить, что данный дот конусный и колдуется только на тех, кто находится перед магусом. Glean Magic - Для прокачки этого умения магусу и следует усиливать ветку Changing, потому как данный дот снимает Spiritual резисты, что позволяет убивать цели гораздо быстрее. Возможно использование умения перед тем как магус использует рифт. Agonizing Torrent - аура, которую должен использовать магус перед тем как начнёт рифтить цели. Однако как правило в бою нет времени на остановку и каст заклинания, требующего одну секунду, ибо за это время игроки успевают отбежать на безопасное расстояние, кинуть сайленс\дизейбл и к моменту, когда магус успеет подъехать к намеченным жертвам время данной ауры уже закончится. Однако удобно использовать данную ауру при защите замка, а так же на сценарии со слабыми соперниками, что значительно уменьшит временные затраты на их убийство.

RusDevil Дожил до 37го, могу лишь сказать спасибо за дельные советы :)

ОдиН из ВАрПА Скажу больше, что их нет, нежели они есть. Саммон магуса - это точка (как турель), которая стоит на месте и лупит. Дамага от неё нет, хотя каким то чудом 1х1 убивает моба своего уровня. Есть ещё злобный нурглинг, которого обрушиваешь на головы врагов, но он кастуется 1 секунду, а поскольку он находится в ветке ближнего боя (в которую прокачан и я сейчас), то находясь в толпе ордера, которого ты притащил к себе - его кастовать: а. некогда б. собьют каст в. важнее врубить ауру и лупить так. Так же из первой ветки есть скилл, позволяющий получить демона, если враг убит этим скилом - появляется маленький бегающий демон уровня убитого врага, которого (!!) невозможно контролировать и даже отозвать. :) Это на тему саммонеров.

Понял :) Информацию принял :) На расположение умений и вообще на те, которые ты выбрал я обратил внимание сначала почти :)
