Nosgoth compares favorably with other MMO games in that the factions in it are very different from each other. They differ both visually and in gameplay.
Playing for people requires coordination, tactical thinking and caution in everything. But for vampires, the picture is completely different. With a good range of close combat abilities, they are successful in melee combat, spreading panic in the ranks of the enemy. If you are attracted to the role of a hunter, not a victim, vampires are your choice. Let’s consider their classes in more detail.
Tyrant
This is the most that is not a tanked tank, whose task is to be at the forefront of the attack, sowing confusion and destruction in the ranks of miserable people. It is the tyrant who takes on the enemy fire and it is he who rushes into the battle first. Naturally, in order to play the role of a tank successfully, the tyrant will need perks that increase his survivability.
Perks:
- Berserker – increases the tyrant’s damage by 20% if health is less than a third. A useful perk for cases when it is too late to retreat and it only remains to sell your life more expensively.
- Undying Wisdom – Cooldown reduction by 10% will be useful for any class. We are interested in it because of the possibility of speeding up re-initiation.
- Regeneration – everything is clear here. Regeneration will give us the opportunity to live longer, which means to be in the center of events longer.
- Bloodlust – After killing an enemy, the tyrant gains a steroid for attack and movement speed, which allows you to create a snowball effect, turning one kill into a multikill.
Tactics:
Playing as a tyrant is not so easy as it might seem at first glance. It requires a competent calculation. You need to choose the right time and place so as not to be shot halfway to the enemy. With a lot of health, the tyrant, unfortunately, also has an increased size, which makes him an excellent target for scouts and hunters. So before starting a bloody battle, make sure that other vampires are nearby and ready to support you. Mastering the tyrant is a long and painstaking business. The ability to feel the moment will come only over time. And this is perhaps the most important thing in the game as a tyrant, because under focused fire he will not live much longer
Deceiver
A good cheat is a real nightmare for the enemy team. He is able to change appearance, seize control of the enemy, or simply be an effective assassin. The main thing is that the enemies will hate him, and the allies will idolize. Acting with cunning rather than force, the deceiver must deeply analyze the situation and act depending on the circumstances. Mastering the deceiver will take some time. But, having comprehended all the subtleties of the game for him, you will get a real killer who can break the course of the battle in your favor.
Perks:
- Undying Wisdom – Reduces skill cooldowns by 10%. The whole deceiver’s game is based on the use of skills, so here the choice is obvious.
- Regeneration – if suddenly something went wrong, then the regeneration will give the deceiver the opportunity to retreat and attack again.
- Feast – a good addition to the built-in vampirism will help you stay longer behind enemy lines and more effectively feast on lonely targets caught in the clutches of the deceiver.
Tactics:
The trickster’s style of play involves constantly being in cover. He must constantly keep the enemy in suspense, looking for lonely targets that have fought off the team. In no case should you initiate battles so as not to be surrounded by enemies. Concentrate on capturing important targets such as scouts or alchemists. Use your skills in order to get behind the backs of enemies and deliver a fatal blow. The deceiver is primarily a tool of intimidation. The presence of a good swindler on the battlefield makes people shake with fear, listening to the rustle of their own footsteps and not trusting anyone. After all, someone who just seemed like a friend can stab you in the back in a second.
Sentinel
This is perhaps one of the most powerful and funniest classes in the game. Possessing a unique flying skill, the sentinel can effectively control the entire map as a whole, being in the most problematic areas of the battle and providing support to allies. His ability to grab the enemy will turn off the most dangerous targets from the battle and provide vampires with a numerical advantage. Unfortunately, all this is compensated for by a rather low survivability and, as a rule, by a low place on the statistics board.
Perks:
- Undying Wisdom – we grab enemies more often, we accelerate more often, we deal damage more often.
- Bloodlust – allows you to hide with impunity after killing an enemy, or grab the next one for the company.
- Nimbleness – the faster we climb the walls, the more efficiently we can act.
Tactics:
The tactics of the battle for the sentinel are rather unusual and are built around flight and the ability to grab gape enemies. Each attack should come as a surprise to the enemy, so you shouldn’t be constantly circling the battlefield looking for prey. The sentinel is a priority target for enemy scouts, so do not tempt fate once again by shining on their sight. Don’t be greedy. It is better not to take risks once again than to rush at enemies. A prepared team will stuff you with arrows on approach. After grabbing the enemy, show gallantry and drop his half-dead carcass to allies. They will be very grateful for the opportunity to restore their health. The Sentinel is perhaps the most interesting class in the game. As in a team with a good sentinel, and against him the game becomes much more interesting.
Reaver
The main fighter of vampires, able to break into the ranks of the enemy, inflicting crushing blows, or effectively deal with a single target, using his jump. In addition, it has a variety of grenades and bombs in its arsenal that will help spread panic before an attack. Good damage and acceptable survivability make it the preferred class for newcomers to Nosgoth.
Perks:
- Undying Wisdom – As with other vampires, this perk is one of the preferred, as it allows you to use skills more often.
- Bloodlust – Works well with the Thief’s playstyle to help snowball well-executed attacks.
- Frenzy – since the main weapon of the kidnapper is claws, the perk that increases the speed of attacks with claws will be very useful.
Tactics:
The kidnapper must remain in the shadows, since his main weapon is surprise. Jump, his main attack, is very easy to dodge if you notice its beginning in time. In cases where you need to rush into the thick of the battle – use the dodge skill to save your life. For a successful attack, coordination with tyrants and sentinels is mandatory. Use the throw in such a way as to separate the target from the team. Be sure to use smoke grenades in order to bring confusion into the ranks of the enemy before your attack.
