Class Tree Overhaul

A Class Tree Overhaul recently took place that addressed the disparity of damage-increasing talents at certain levels. Some CoA classes had more damage increasing talents at early levels, which made them objectively better than others in those level brackets.

This overhaul addresses those discrepancies so that each class has power appropriate to their level, ensuring the environment is always competitive.

This Overhaul separates the function of the class tree and the spec tree, with your Class Tree now containing the bulk of utility, crowd control, and other effects that take the entire class into account, with the specific specialization tree offering talents that make you stronger: raw damage increases, more critical strike chance, or introducing a new layer into your rotation to grant you more power. 

This overhaul not only makes sure that classes are competitive with each other, it also ensures that you feel that the Open World is leveling with you, and that creatures are gaining strength as you adventure to more dangerous areas. 

Earn a new Friend!

Heroes who get any class to level 35 will receive the EXCLUSIVE Wind Rider Cub non-combat pet! He’s so fuzzy!
