Fireball

Revamped Alpha-1 Mage Fireball ability.

We're trying to like give a lot of control back to the player while they're using these abilities so they can still control their movements, they can react simultaneously while they're taking actions; and we just want to get overall more of a fluid flow, I guess, of combat. And that's that's kind of the general design philosophy we're using to approach the overhaul. – Tradd Thompson

Alpha-1 early preview Mage Fireball ability.

Hello friends, just as a reminder, the FX are still a work in progress and will continue to be refined, and slightly toned down. Also the levitating fireball animation will be grounded in our future passes. I think we got pretty good feedback on that one. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-1 Mage ability: (previously called Implosion)

As a reminder these are early works in progress, and represent lower level spells for our Alpha One playtests. One important thing to note, the speed of casting is not augmented by buffs in this video. So as many of you may know from the many mmos we all play, lower level casting can tend to be slower than the casting at higher levels due to passive augments and active buffs that can be applied. This will speed up cast times and overall combat for casters (and across all classes). – Steven Sharif
