PAX: News from IRC Chat – Mage Callings and Raids

Kilrathi logged into IRC tonight (8:15pm EST) and gave us a quick description of a few things he found out tonight. He stopped in briefly and didn’t have time to go into any details. He will follow up with pictures and a write-up later tonight.

Things we picked up tonight:
-Two new Mage Callings, Chloromancer (healing mage) and the Storm Caller (ice damage).
-There will be World Raid Bosses.
-There will be two Raid Zones at release. Hammerknell and Greanscale’s Blight.
-Raids will go through tiered progression.
-There will be PVP flags (saw this one coming on PVE servers).
-There will be Guild Perk buffs.
-There is an “AA” like system that gives buffs to resistances that you can slot in and out.
-Token system, or badge system like WOW.
-There are softcaps on stats.
