Threat and rage?

Post by DeathLich »

Threat, rage, and combo point

I've heard many things talking about threat, rage, and combo points. What do they do? What importance do they hav to your fighting ability?
So I offer you respect, and it will take much for you to lose it. But if you do, if you choose to see it as weakness and seize upon your perceived advantage, well...perhaps I'll then let you talk with Guenhwyvar.

Threat is basically how much an enemy wants to attack you. Different activities cause different amounts of threat, and warriors have a taunt skill that generates lots of threat so enemies attack them rather than, say, the priests in their groups.

Rage is something specific to warriors. They gain rage when they're hit by an enemy or hit an enemy, and their combat moves require rage. In a sense, rage equals warrior mana.

Combo points are specific to rogues. Some of their combat moves generate combo points, and then they get finishing moves that use combo points. The more combo points they've generated, the more powerful the finishing move is.

Thank you, now I understand!
