In A New Class
Option 2: [Blade Dancer (Uncommon)] - A Blade Dancer does not fight—they perform. Their combat style is a flowing blend of graceful footwork, rapid slashes, and acrobatics, making them nearly impossible to pin down. With each successful strike, they build momentum, moving faster and striking harder as they weave through the battlefield like a deadly whirlwind.
Option 3: [Windblade (Rare)] - A master of swift strikes, moving like a gust of wind through battle. Their blade is an extension of the air itself, slicing through enemies before they even react. With the power of wind magic, they can create razor-sharp gales and redirect attacks by altering airflow. Acquire an affinity with wind through this class.
Option 4: [Astral Bladeseeker (Epic)] - You do not fight in the same realm as your enemies. You phase in and out of existence, striking from angles that shouldn't be possible. Some believe they move so fast that they exist in multiple places at once. Acquire an affinity with space through this class.
Option 5: [Stratus Bladesword (Epic)] - The Stratus Bladesworn are warriors of light. Legends say they can channel light into strong beams of power. With their mastery of high-speed aerial combat, moving like a ray of light through the battlefield. Acquire an affinity with light through this class.
Dorian's options were great. He still had his original [Bandit] class, which it was pretty safe to say he was not going to pick. And although he had Epic options, he felt it was still important to look through each option. Even the Uncommon one.First was [Blade Dancer], it seemed to be some sort of graceful class, something he could definitely envisioning Isolde having. It was proably based on fluid and quick movements, and it didn't really fit him that well. It was probably more powerful than [Bandit], but not by much. So he could safely rule this one out.Next was [Windblade], honestly the fighting style seemed pretty similar to what [Blade Dancer] would be, but taking it a step up, implementing wind into his movements, so he would be faster and more powerful, it didn't seem to be as aristocratic as the previous, and instead focused on more explosive and powerful movements instead of precision and grace. If this was his best option, he would be really pleased with it. But there were two more, the next being [Astral Bladeseeker], and Dorian had to say... this looked incredible. It seemed he could disappear, it was almost like teleportation but it was likely not instantaneous. It just seemed insanely powerful, he would be able to hit people without them being able to stop it. Only general defense could, and that was always weaker than a focused defense. It was honestly insane that such a thing was possible, and he had never heard of space affinity being a thing. It was definitely a really good option.The final option was [Stratus Bladesword], it again looked incredibly powerful. It probably functioned pretty similar to [Windblade] in that it was focused on fast and powerful strikes, but the difference was the light affinity. Affinities were not equal, and light was in the most powerful tier of affinities. At least those that were known. It also heavily hinted at some sort of movement skill, he already had [Forbidden Rush], but he did not have a very good affinity with it and it was still at the first tier. And the movement from this class was almost guaranteed to be far better.[Stratus Bladesword] was a safe and extremely powerful option. And he was tempted just to select it straight away. But he had to look at [Astral Bladeseeker]. It was obviously also very powerful, but there was a slight problem. He had never heard of space affinity. Light affinity was a guaranteed strong path that would take you to the pinnacle as it was already proven to be a pinnacle-tier affinity. But space was unknown, he had never heard of it and it seemed most people hadn't, as the book General Studies into Affinities, the most famous and widely accepted book into affinities had no mention of space affinity, even speculatively.So, this could mean going down an untrodden path, that was not guaranteed success, whereas [Stratus Bladesword] was. He was aware that space affinity by itself sounded strong, and it probably was. But Dorian was very hesitant to risk his future on something like this, he needed to be sure. Unfortunatley, he couldn't come out of the feuge state he was in right now to ask Veylan and the others their opinions, so he had to decided now. By himself.Honestly, Dorian had pretty much made his mind up when he had first seen the class description. He just couldn't resist. He was already a legend for being able to survive what no one else could.Why not become even more legendary? Taking another uncharted trail, but this time he had a choice.He knew what he would choose, he was Woundkeeper. Anything less than the zenith wasn't worth thinking about. And he would risk anything to reach it.Class selected. [Astral Bladeseeker (Epic)] has been chosen.
