Adept

Prior to release, the name of the Adept was Furyhammer, but due to the changes made to the class it wasn't the right name for it anymore, and so the Adept was born!

Practitioners of martial combat, Adepts are gifted with a variety of powerful methods of sight. Their special vision is very useful under the proper circumstances. They make excellent leaders and are often found commanding forces in battle.

The Adept has few armed skills. Most of the offensive skills of the Adept are unarmed fighting skills. The Adept will be able to disarm, slow and silence opponents as well as keep people alive by healing, making him quite a tactical class to play.

“The Adept is a Discipline for survivors and explorers. If you need to get in and out of combat quickly the way of the Adept is certainly an efficient route. They may be a bit difficult to work with though. Adepts in general favour their independence.” – Master Adept Seregrin Carnyxian, The Academy, Hawksmouth
