SKILL PERKS
Improvements to Skill Upgrades
Arcane Legends' "Skill Revamp" effort continues with a major addition to Skill Upgrades for every Class.
The first Phase of the Skill Revamp focused on two things: the addition of new Passives and various improvements to Ultimates. This upcoming second Phase of the Skill Revamp is aimed adding more choice and more power to your existing Skill Upgrades in the form of "Perks." A third phase involves the creation of several new combat skills (for all Classes) and the introduction of certain weapon-specific skills... and more information on this will be made available once we have a better sense of the scope and timing.
We plan to release Skill Upgrade Perks at the start of Season 33.
Perks
Perks offer additional improvements to Skill Upgrades providing more power, effectiveness and a higher degree of customization.
Perks can be allocated to Skill Upgrades once you reach the required Level for that specific Perk (noted in the details below).
You can choose one (1) Perk per Upgrade.
Each Perk costs one (1) Skill Point to allocate.
Quick FAQ (pre-feedback):
Why do Perks require Levels?
- We want characters to reach certain Levels before applying Perks to Skill Upgrades so that they have appropriate Skill Points with which to make strategic choices.
- We also want to require a measure of advancement before adding the additional Skill power because certain (tbh 'many') Perks can trivialize very low-level content.
Why do Perks require Skill Points?
- In short: to make Skill advancement more interesting.
- The Skill Points cost introduces trade-offs with Masteries, Ultimates and Passives.
Why only one Perk per Upgrade?
- Similar to the reasoning above for requiring Skill Points, the Perk is meant to represent an exclusive choice.
Take a look at the Skill Upgrade Perks that are on the way.
