Gods & Heroes - Nomad Preview @ Ten Ton Hammer

Travis George, a System Designer on Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising, previews the Nomad class from Perpetual Entertainment's upcoming MMORPG.

I confess – I love hybrids and the versatility that they bring to a group!  Supplementing DPS (damage-per-second) one minute in melee, casting spells from a distance – or stepping in to be a backup – or even a primary healer all at a moment’s notice, is a style of gameplay that is defined by its versatility.  Since we already had a primary healer in the Priest, and other classes that represent the classic archetypes, the door was open for us to create something unique in our game – a true hybrid.  The Nomad of course has the ability to heal, one of its primary reasons for coming to be, but we had to make healing with a Nomad feel different than healing with a Priest – which I think we did quite well.
