Classes

This is currently OUT OF DATE: Newer info is here: https://ember-online.com/helper/classes.php

Ember Online enjoys a variety of racial and class combinations to suite a persons taste and preferred playing style.

NOTE: Class specifics are currently changing and the information will be added and updated as abilities and features are finalized. Also Remember to check out the Races section. Some races are better suited for certain classes than others.

SURVIVAL: Every class benefits from having maximum Endurance (for damage absorption), Agility (for dodging physical attacks) and a high Wisdom (for resisting magical attacks).

MR: To benefit from a classes natural magic resistance you will still need a high WIS.

DUAL WIELDING: When you dual wield the weapon chosen in each attack is random (you will not always be hitting with the best weapon).

/scribe Bless. This is used in the creation of scrolls of Bless (see Decking in the New Players Guide section). Ability gained at 16th LVL.

Spells:

Cure (5 MP Cost) - A minor healing spell (used on self or target). Can also be used to damage undead for half of the heal amount.

Remedy (20 MP Cost) - Negates the effects of poison (used on self or target).

Smite (8 MP Cost) - Calls down a storm of divinity-based elemental damage on a single target. Does massive damage to undead and about a third of that damage to enemies that are not undead (including players).

Ranger

Stat Priority: Strength, Agility, Endurance, Charisma.

Attack Increments At Levels: 2, 8, 25

Needed EXP to Level 25: 300mil

Can wield swords, axes, blunts, fists, staves, daggers, and bows

Can wear medium, light, cloth, shields, and helmets

Can use /track. /track gets more useful as you level up and can become a very handy tracking tool.

Can use /scribe. Can scribe 'identify\. Identify gets information on NPCs such as divinity and type.

Can have a /pet. Pets need to be /capture'd first.

Ranger Pets will automatically attack the target you are attacking.

The higher the rangers CHR the better the pet will perform.

Bows can use unique arrows which grant critical hit chances.

Any arrow they use gets double chance to critical. I.E. If arrow is 15%, they have 30% chance.

Ranger pets can have equipment bought for them to further increase their effectiveness. To equip a piece of gear (after you have bought it from the Rangers Camp) you need to have your pet un-summoned (/reclaim), then you right click and use the appropriate pet item. The pet can have one weapon, one piece of armour, one special and one description item. You can replace items by going through the same process (the new item will replace the old).

Ranger pets have a chance to block attacks on their owners, similar to Paladins /protect. This is based on taunt level (major) and dodge agility (minor) of your pet.

If a pet or the pet owner finds a player hiding, their pet will blitz/rush the target (opportunity of attack) with a 50% decrease to dodge. (I.E. half your dodge rate would be around where it is at to dodge a blitz). This does not use any spell, and is based on the number of attacks and damage a NPC has.

Can disarm thieves traps based on INT.

2% MR Bonus

Rogue

Although less heavily armored than their fighter cousins, the Rogues use their Agility and stealth abilities to avoid damage and deliver wicked surprise attacks dealing amazing damage.

Assassin

Attack Increments At Levels: 1, 9, 25

Needed EXP to Level 25: 350mil

Can wield daggers and swords, can dual wield (gaining a 10% damage bonus)

Can wear cloth, shields, and helmets

Receive 15% more spell damage.

Can autosneak (/autosneak), can hide (/hide). Being found (by someone who uses /search command, the chance of finding is based on INT and LVL of hider/searcher) or backstabbing (to do this you hide then attack, there is no need to move of the square and back to do this any longer, but you may be quicker). (Autosneak/Hide work well together). INT and LVL increases the amount of squares you can move in /autosneak before becoming exhausted.

Can use /track. /track gets more useful as you level up and can become a very handy tracking tool.

Equipping a dagger allows you to backstab for 4x more damage. You must equip DAGGER(s) to backstab.

Bard

Stat Priority: Charisma, Agility, Endurance, Strength, Wisdom

Attack Increments At Levels: 3, 10, 25

Needed EXP to Level 25: 325mil

25% less mana

5% MR Bonus

Spells:

Cure - A minor healing spell (used on self or target).

Shell - Provides a minor buff to your Armour and MR (used on self).

/song #. This ability allows the Bard to sing three different song. Song effects do not stack, but you can have all three songs being played at the same time (assuming you have three Bards in the party). Costs 5 MP to cast and 2 MP a tick to sustain. You need an instrument. The instruments quality and Bards CHR determines how beneficial the song is. You cannot eat or drink while playing a song (but you can use mana restoratives or any other potion, and you can also cast magic).

/song 1 - This song provides a passive HP/MP regeneration, every tick, for every member in the party. The MP regen will not affect the Bard (they will still lose 2 MP per tick).

/song 2 - This song increases the STR and Armour of every member in the party.

/song 3 - This song increases the INT and Spell Penetration of every member in the party.

Thief

Stat Priority: Agility, Endurance, Intelligence, Strength

Attack Increments At Levels: 1, 10, 25

Needed EXP to Level 25: 275mil

Can wield daggers and bows.

Can wear cloth, shields, and helmets

Receive 5% more spell damage.

Can autosneak (/autosneak), can hide (/hide). INT and LVL increases the amount of squares you can move in /autosneak before becoming exhausted.

Equipping a dagger allows you to backstab for 3x more damage while being hidden.

Equipping a bow allows you to ambush for (3x + 10%) more damage while being hidden. (Average of 13% more minimum damage and 8% more maximum damage when using bows at level 25). Bows can use unique arrows which grant critical hit chances.

Thieves can steal (/steal) gold from players and NPC. 30% boosted chance to steal on NPCs. Stealing is calculated by rolling Agility and LVL of the Thief vs INT and LVL of the victim.

Thieves have a 33% higher drop rate on items dropped from monsters as well as the chance for a hum. (I.E If a monster has 50% drop rate, then it would be 60%. I.E 0.5*1.33=0.665). This effects WHOLE party if in party, but only once (in other words there is no increased benefit in having more than one thief in the party).

Trap Disarming: Thieves have an automatic check to disarm a trap whenever they stand on a trap square (there is no command needed). The higher the thieves INT and LVL the better the chance. PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED YET.

There are three different types of traps, Damage, Bind, and Sensor. You can place only 1 damage/bind trap, and up to 3 sensor traps. You have a max of 3 traps to place. (So 1 damage/bind trap 2 sensor, 3 sensor, etc).

Damage traps come in a two flavors, regular and divinity. They will effect a WHOLE PARTY. They take a % of their max HP rather then a set amount to prevent players abusing lower level/etc. (This does not effect level 15 and under players, but if a level 15 is a party leader with 4 other level 25'ers, those 25ers will be hit, not the under 15'er though. If no one is to be effected, the trap simples does not trigger.)

Damage traps also come in three flavors, weak, normal, and strong. Divinity traps generally do more damage overall and also deal extra divinity damage.

Bind traps bind the party leader. Once bound a NPC will appear 'Entangling Roots (Binded Name)' and you must kill it to continue. Giving the party to another will still not allow him/her to move, and he will be left behind. The NPC itself has 1HP and no dodge/mr, so it is easy to deal with at any level.

Sensor traps will let you know when someone trigger it and how many people triggered it. The people who trigger it will be notified as well (though this may be removed in the future, depends!)

You can clear traps with /cleartraps. You cannot pick the type of trap to clear so place traps properly. If you logout, your traps will clear. Dying has no effect. A sorcerers hover spell will prevent traps from triggering.

Thieves and Rangers can disarm traps. Traps difficulty is based on their int vs your int with a base of 40% with same INT. You have a chance to recover the trap as well (also based on int).
