Who is the Blood Weaver?

General Information

  • Main attribute: Strength

  • Armor class: Heavy

  • The Bloodweaver has no shield, but makes up for it with two unique abilities

Abilities

  • Blood Pact

    • The Bloodweaver can sacrifice a portion of their current Hit Points to unleash an additional attack.

    • The chance to perform this morbid ritual is 30%.

    • In doing so, the Bloodweaver sacrifices 10% of their current Hit Points to execute the additional attack.

  • Death Seal

    • As soon as the Bloodweaver takes a fatal blow for the first time, their Death Seal activates.

    • It revives the Bloodweaver with 50% of their Hit Points. From then on, every attack has a 20% chance to inflict a damage-over-time (DoT) effect on the opponent for up to 2 rounds. The resulting damage factor is 15%. This does not apply if the DoT is already ticking on the opponent.

    • For the rest of the battle, Bloodweavers then have a dodge chance of 25%.

    • After Blood Weavers have revived themselves through their Death Seal, they can no longer perform their Blood Pact.

Combat

  • Behavior against Mages

    • Abilities cannot be activated against Mages. Just like the Warrior can't block magical attacks with his shield.

  • Behavior in group fights

    • The Death Seal's revival is not reset.

    • The Death Seal debuff disappears when the opponent or Blood Weaver dies

Additional Beta Info

  • You need an S&F account to participate in the Beta.

  • After creating a character, you can choose between different presets or start from scratch. You can play multiple presets/characters at once.

  • The Fortress is unlocked.

  • The Underworld is unlocked.

  • Pets are unlocked and maxed out (all Pets at level 200).

  • All habitats are completed.
