Tactics: Enemy Mastery!
Is your character a wood elf druid with a burning hatred for orcs that
dates back to her ancestors' days fighting in Crushbone? Or a barbarian
shaman whose forefathers perished battling against gnolls in Blackburrow? Or
an ogre berserker with a deep-seated loathing of those scaly lizardmen
contaminating the Feerrott? Then our Tactics system is just what you're
looking for!
The EverQuest II Tactics Advancement Path lets you pick certain types of
enemies for which your character feels a particular dislike. By learning
about these opponents, you gain special abilities that allow you and your
party to do extra damage against them in battle.
The type of ability you get will vary based on your character's archetype: - Priests gain the ability to weaken
their opponent's attacks - Scouts learn how to make their enemy
more vulnerable - Mages earn a powerful nuke that is
hard for this type of creature to resist - Fighters gain a self buff that allows
them to do increased damage against this creature type These abilities grow with your character, so they will always provide
an advantage against your chosen opponents. Having multiple group members with
the same type of mastery skill will make your enemies tremble at your feet!
Here are the first three selections your character will receive: - Level 12 - gnolls, orcs
- Level 16 - ghosts, skeletons, zombies
- Level 24 - centaurs, giants, treants
Higher-level choices will feature increasingly more exotic (and more
dangerous) types of enemies to pick from.
When you choose an enemy, you receive a tome that gives you background lore
on that creature type and begins your quest to learn more about them. As you
defeat these enemies, you find items that you can examine to gain knowledge
of their tactics. Part of your quest will also involve besting a number of
these creatures on the field of battle. You can track your progress toward
mastery with a progress bar displayed in your quest helper window.
Choosing your own worst enemies is yet another way EverQuest II lets you
individualize your character. Fans of role-playing will especially enjoy
sharing tales of why their character despises goblins or centaurs. Other players
will simply savor the tactical advantage these abilities give them in combat.
With our Tactics system, the choice is yours to make!
