New Passive Character Abilities Coming in the Dead City Expansion

[Samhayne]

Character advancement will take on a new twist in Arcane Legends after the Dead City expansion goes live. Besides spending points in active skills and active skill upgrades, you will also be able to spend your skill points into passive abilities. Passive abilities are always active and boost your character's stats.

The above screenshot shows off the Passives tab on the Skill Page. There are seven different passive abilities you can spend your points into. You have to be level 20 or higher to be able to spend points past rank 4. Here are the different abilities as they are currently implemented (still subject to change before release):

• Durable: Increase your armor value by 1% for each point spent
• Critical Shot: Increase your critical hit chance by 1% for each point spent
• Damage: Increase your damage value by 1% for each point spent
• Agility: Increase your Dexterity Stat by +5 for each point spent
• Knowledge: Increase your Intelligence Stat by +5 for each point spent
• Quickness: Increase your movement speed by 1% for each point spent
• Might: Increase your Strength Stat by +5 for each point spent

So, with this in mind, how will you be changing your character build?

Awesome! Can't wait! This is going, to, rock!

Edit: Will we be able to get more points though? Like, more even when 21?

So my next few skill points will go into: Durable and Damage for my warrior
And Durable and Knowledge for my Sorcerer

You'll have 20 (you don't get one at level 1). Those 20 points you can spend into active skills and passive abilities combined.

So it works like the passive abilities in Dark Legends?

Respecs will be set to be free for a couple of days after the update for people to experiment with their skills.

+25 str = +250 health

+5% damage = not a big difference until high levels...

"couple of days AFTER" does that mean we wont get free respec on day 1 of the launch

I don't think it will do much good having a 5% increase in armor for a sorcerer, better off adding strength for survivability.. If it was an additional 10-15 armor for every point, then spend away. Just my 2 cents though.
