Monsters, High Elves and class introductions

  • Today we would like to talk about the Monsters in TERA. We also take a look at the High Elves and the classes: Priest and Berserker. Together with the introduction, we also released a bunch of screenshots and a new video of the priest class.

    The Monsters of TERA: Beyond the Ordinary

    We can’t even tell you, how often you fought against goblins, ogres and dragons in the past years. With TERA we want to go a different way in many parts of the gameplay, this also includes the creatures you’ll encounter on your journey.

    You’ll see monsters you have never seen before, like the immense, greedy Kumises and the twisted, sinister Lokians and we don’t even want to talk about the metallic monstrosities known as the Argons, the main enemy of all races in TERA.

    The whole world of TERA is now a dangerous place, citizens are always surrounded by dangers and the monsters have even started to strike at the heart of the Valkyon Federation. Only the brave players stay and fight back the enemies, which are trying to annihilate all known races.

    The High Elves

    If you decide to play as a high elf in TERA, you also become a part of the worlds most ambitious and ruthless society, but they are also known for their intelligence. The life as a high elf in TERA is not an easy one, with a world where diversity is vital for a race to survive, the Elven pride is as tenacious as the elves themselves.

    The High Elves in TERA fill in every role in their typical arrogant but superior way, despite what class they choose. A high elf will always be a tough enemy and hard to read, because they always keep tight when it comes to expressing their emotions. This can be an advantage, but also a problem, as the High Elves need to cooperate and gain the trust of the other races.


    High Elves are known for their longevity and their wisdom. They may have joined the Valkyon Federation as the last race, but you shouldn’t doubt that there may be the chance of them being the leaders in the near future.

    Classes: Berserker and Priest


    Berserker

    As a Berserker you trust in solving problems with your huge battle-axe. If you really can’t solve the problem with your axe, the “problem” will most likely end up fleeing in fear anyway. At least that’s how Berserker sees the world in their own eyes. A class full of devastating power, which can be unleashed to its full potential on every battlefield out there.


    Berserkers are feared for their rage, but still as a player you need to think tactically, move around the battlefield, evade enemy attacks and unleash the Cyclone attack in the right spot at the right time, to annihilate anyone who comes close to you.

    Priest

    Movement is always important in TERA, as a Priest it will be one of the keys to succeeding on a battlefield or in supporting your group members. As a Priest you’re not just the basic healbot, standing there and spamming heal after heal. You’ll need to deal damage, lock down enemies and keep moving while trying to keep your group members alive, both with single and manually targeted heal spells and also with casting a Circle of Rejuvenation.

    The Priest is the key player to success in both PvE and PvP, friends and foes will also try to protect our get to you. Healing in TERA takes skill, but you’ll earn trust and victory if you do your job right.

    Well. in my opinion bers/slayer. But still. i wish to play (probably) archer. Dont know why. But anyway, i will understand that only when i will try this game.

  • Btw, Raven, do you know anything about april update in Korea? BHS don't give any information yet, maybe you can tell us something interesting :3

  • Berserker > Slayer, The amount of "HERE COMES TEH HURTZ" feeling I got while charging my cyclone attack while slowly moving arounnd, and then unleashing in a 4 pioret whirlwind is so incredibly satistfying, compared to the uncharged, rather repetetive playstyle of the slayer, having said that, i only played both classes at low level (lvl 18-ish ) and im sure the slayer gets more interesting the more spells get added to your book. However, im not ognna force myself to level a toon with which i personally had 70% less fun. The zerker, may be slow, and cant dodge at all, but that Axe and its impacts are so incredibly satistfying with each and every blow. The screen shaking constantly from your mightly blows and did i mention the whirlwind? haha dear god, think zelda the ocarina of time where you can charge your mastersword x2 for a devastating aoe...well that, x5!!! , woosh, woosh, woosh, woosh, WOOSH!


    ( but sorcerer #1 still :3 cuz they throw nukes on 12 sec cooldown )

    .... Yeeeeess... But the priest as in most of the games must be interesting .. even if it takes a lot of patience to bring it up well

  • i think BHS did a great job with the priest, i love playing healer classes as well and the thought of being more than a healbot is so very important to keep the healing community engaged.


    great video of the priest, can't wait to try ^_^

  • I always liked (and still like) the creativity of TERA devs. When you see screenshots there is no mistaking it - you know its TERA. Diversity of monsters and beautiful landscape.

  • Now thats why I always start an Elven character in every single RPG I play. :D

    Moving Healer bots... This will be fun to play ;)

  • Yea I agree,much more fun than a 2-3 button healing class in most MMO that your only conern is to be out of the AoE the boss does :)

  • Thank you Raven (^_^)


    Can I just add something about the Male High Elves? Try not to play that class if you feel depressed ... I mean it. They are SO emo looking that our whole party feels this "creeping sadness" every time there is a Male High Elf in it. Oh and also ... belly button ... made a few people re-roll xD

  • Deioth is loving the bishounen male helfs, ask him what his main is

  • nice screenshots, and you gotta feel the love for berserkers

  • nice video! thanks!

    ......The One you love to hate......


    10/31/2011 - Final day of Flawless Shojin, best of luck.


    Final day of glorious CM "Silvanoshi" and CR "Sealath", best of luck to both of you


    who's next?

  • One of these classes i probably will play.
