After several months of intense development, talent trees are finally in Nevergrind Online! Templars are the first to have a completed talent tree in the game. This will allow heroes to specialize their skills and customize their character in ways that were not previously possible!
Templars have a total of 30 talents, with 10 talents per tree! This allows for a lot of variety in terms of how your hero performs in combat. Each talent tree groups your skills into thematic trees which allow them to hit for more damage, reduce threat, reduce cooldowns, increase effect durations, and even add additional hits! You can even choose to invest talent points in some of your base attributes, so players have a lot of decisions to make!
Templars have three trees: Fanatic, Elementalist, and Visionary.
Fanatics specialize in debuffs, buffs, and support spells. Most talents in the Fanatic tree max out at 10 points instead of 20. This allows players to opt for certain buff talents without spending too many points.
Elementalist tree focuses on boosting Templars' ice and fire spells. Players can choose to focus on fire, ice, or even a mix of both. The capstone talent even adds enhanced fire and ice damage to all fire and ice spells! With 20 points in Superior Frozen Orb, you will add 60% enhanced damage, reduce its cooldown by 48.8%, and add an additional five hits (up from 15) with each cast!
The visionary tree mostly focuses on lightning spells as well as Primordial Sludge, a powerful poison-based debuff spell. The talents in this tree are quite powerful as they add additional damage and hits to your lightning skills! For example, Superior Static Storm allows your skill to hit up to six times on up to five targets! The sixth hit will always hit your primary target which means that it will get hit twice with each cast!
In the future, you can expect to see items that add + to individual talents, + to talent trees, and even + to all talents! This will make itemization options full of interesting choices!
The future of Nevergrind Online is looking bright! Initial feedback has been very positive and I expect that each class can expect to see similar types of talents before the end of 2023! Stay tuned! 😎
