Ladder season 3 is called "The Evil Mist". The Evil Mist is a method for the invaders to almost effortlessly planeshift hordes of creatures into the material plane. The mist is created by Mist Beings that simply breathe it. The mist is multidimensional, sifting through the weave between planes, jumping from place to place. It is always present in a single area and changes location frequently.
Major features of this update include:
- Four new classes: Doomcaster, Avenger, Knight and Mystic.
- Four new crafting options: Enhance, Imbue, Sap and Transform.
- Beacons: Objects you can activate to make an area more difficult for one minute, adding rewards.
- Catalysts: Items that grant short-duration skills called Surges.
- More than 20 new skills.
- More than 20 build-around unique items.
A major change has also been made to the skill system. In the old system, each skill had a level between 1 and 20. In the new system, you either have a skill or not. Once picked, a skill has maximum effect immediately, though its power scales with character level. You pick one skill on level 1 and then one every four levels (4, 8, etc) for 26 total at level 100.
