Mana

Resting and mana regeneration.

As you know, a classic MMO thing to do is to sit and rest as you get your resources back. – Steven Sharif

Mana is a universal resource/energy in Ashes of Creation that keeps corresponding stats for mana pool, consumption and regeneration relevant.

• All archetypes use mana to varying degrees.
  • Even pure melee players use mana to manipulate The Essence for their extraordinary abilities.
• There are various ways to mitigate mana consumption, such as gear and set bonuses, tattoos, enchantments, and specs.
  • Sitting increases mana regeneration while out of combat.

Mana management I think, not just for mage players but for really every class, is a relevant resource mechanic that they have to take into consideration when they're utilizing their rotations; and there are going to be abilities that will sap your mana faster than others; and they're going to be situational. Now, with that blanket statement of mana is always relevant, there is also going to be mechanics and/or class energies and abilities that you can spec into to help mitigate that. There's itemization that you can utilize from a set bonus perspective, or certain types of weapons and tattoos that you can acquire. There are certain enchantments that you can acquire that might reduce the cost of mana use, that might increase your amount of regeneration, that might increase your mana total pool. There are even specs that you can build towards if mana management is your issue. So we want to make it a compelling case that you need to think about mana use because you don't just want to go 100% all the time with no downside to that. That's a very boring type of interaction. – Steven Sharif

Stats in Ashes of Creation are derived from primary attributes (Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Mentality, Strength, and Wisdom) via a waterfall system.

A waterfall stat is a derivative of an attribute. So, if dexterity is your attribute stat and a waterfall from dexterity is critical rate, that would be considered a waterfall stat: the critical rate.

• Primary attributes are also referred to as Core stats, Primary stats, and Base stats.

• Base stats are defined by a character's primary archetype.
  • These can be improved based on gear, tattoos, and other enhancements, such as socketed items.

• Concentration will be a primary stat for spell casters.

• There will be diminishing returns on certain stats, but there won't be hard caps.

באפר היצירה יש את שילוש התפקידים המסורתי של Tank, DPS, וSupport/healer.

• למרות שתפקידים מסורתיים אלו קיימים, שחקנים לא צריכים להרגיש מסווגים למקצוע הראשי בו בחרו.

• שיפורי מיומנויות הזמינים דרך מערכת סוגי הדמויות מאפשרים לשחקנים לעצב את דמותם ותפקידם אל מחוץ לתפקידם הראשי.

• שחקנים יכולים גם לבחור פעמיים את התפקיד הראשי גם כמשני כדי לחזק אותו.

יש לנו שמונה תפקידים בסיסיים; והשילוש מהווה השפעה די חזקה ביחס לשמונה המקצועות הבסיסיים. עם זאת, האזור בו ניתן לשחק בקו המפריד את השילוש הוא בבחירה של המקצוע המשני. זהו האזור בו אנחנו מערבבים בין התחומים השונים ומאפשרים לשחקנים קצת השפעה על תפקידם ועל האם או לא אפשר לסווג אותם לקטגוריה מסויימת מתוך שילוש התפקידים. – Steven Sharif

Archetype resources

Archetype resources (also called Class resources) are generated by certain skills based on specific criteria. The current design approach is for every archetype to have its own resource, in addition to Mana, which is universal across all archetypes.
