The Eight Classes of Mist – Play to Earn

The month of Mist continues onward! After revealing details about all of the Races of Mist over the first week, Mist followed that up with information about the five eight Classes in the game. Though only five Classes were originally planned, the team decided that the game needed more options.And so, we have three new classes, the Berserker, the Priest, and the Bard.

As game development progressed on Mist, the dev team for this upcoming NFT-based MMO realized that they needed more class diversity. Mainly in the form of support and dedicated tank classes. And so the number of Class options in Mist rises from five to eight — adding Berserkers, Priests and Bards.

Along with this also comes the first class limitations for factions. The new Berserker class can only be played by members of the Clan faction, while the Crusader is only available to the side of Order.

Aimed Shot and Rapid Fire increase damage and attack speed, respectively. Spread Shots sends out a wave of projectiles in a cone shaped attack. And for control, Rangers can place Bear Traps to stun and damage their enemies, or launch a Heavy Artillery attack which causes a stun and pushback effect.

Enchanter

Devotees of magic, Enchanters study any and all spells that they can. Their abilities often have multiple effects, such as the Icebolt, which damages and slows the target. Or Tornado, a channeled spell which pulls enemies close and damages them in the process. They also have Thunderstorm, damaging and stunning nearby enemies, Firebolt, which causes initial damage and extra damage over time (it burns, it burns!), and Energy Transfer, which damages the target and heals the caster!

Witch Hunter

Hunters of monsters and other unwanted creatures of the night, the Witch Hunters have a variety of tricks to confuse and harass their foes. Though familiar with many dark arts, the Witch Hunters are avowed protectors of the people. With a Potion…
