Scrub's Classes 101 - Runepriest

[Scrub]

I am creating this thread to hopefully clear up and educate people who either have chosen, or are debating on being, an Runepriest. All of the information in this thread could be changed at any time, and for all we know it may already have been. However, the information in this thread will give you a general idea on where the Runepriest class is heading so you will get a decently clear picture of what this class is capable of doing.

The Runepriest is the healer class for the Dwarf army, able to augment the power of a group and put up a decent fight on their own terms at the same time. Runepriests use the power of Dwarf runes to enhance their fighting abilities and those of their friends.

As you read you will notice a layout for actions, it is as follows:
Action Name
Description
Action Point Cost (AP)
RangeNow, with that being said, you are probably wonder what these Action Points are. Action Points determine the rate at which characters can use actions - skills, spells, etc. Action points recharge gradually over time, with a higher rate of recharge when your character is not involved in combat.

Tactics are the next area, and they are basically special traits your character develops to specialize in specific areas... whether it be gun damage, gun critical, grenade damage, etc. You can gain tactics by spending points you earn when you level up. You may change them when you are not in combat.

Last, but not least, there will be Morale abilities. These abilities are gained as you are in combat. As you attack and kill opponents your morale meter will slowly rise from 0% to 100%. There are 5 levels of Morale abilities, each at 20% increments.

The Basics

Can only be Dwarfs
Melee/Ranged Spells
Infuses himself and his allies with powerful Runes
A healing/buffing class
Seems to be difficult to kill
Light Armor (Cloth?)Alright, now that all of that is cleared up, let's continue on to their skills and abilities.

Very impressive! The runepriest has appealed to me from the start, and threads like this only make them more interesting.

Nice work on all you 101 threads BTW.

[Snorri]

Oath runes sound very interesting indeed...
(Oath Rune of Healing, Oath Rune of Fury)

I have been longing for more Runepriest information, to get to know their class more.
So, like I have said before on the others: fantastic work Scrub!! :D :cool:

Terrific Info.

[Warhost]

Very helpful information as always

[mike-zim]

well i liked the sound of the runepriest but now i really want to be one. i hope for an email inviting me to closed beta. ;) never going to happen

[LastHeretic]

woah woah.....cloth on a dwarf??

the softest armour i wana see on any dwarf is leather/mail. it just doesnt suit a dwarf to be wearing cloth : \ atleast not after tier 1 anyway

[azhrarn]

As it says on the Rune Priest section of the WAR website:
Well armored in medium, rune-inscribed armorSo i doubt very much if there is only cloth between you and that enemy choppa. You may be wearing a robe on top of the armour, but you're not in just cloth. Expect light mail or leather.

[Awendela]

helpful summary, will keep my eye on this topic ;)

[Renraku]

Thanks for putting this together, I was wondering how the runes worked. I prefer classes like healers or priest. Controlling the situation and keeping my comrades alive is challenging and fun.

[Jest]

They will be wearing medium armor, most likely something similar to leather, since they are a 'healing class'. Cloth is for the caster classes. =)

[Dagnar Steelhammer]

This thread is really helpful. I'm trying to pick between hammerer and runepriest. Really the only thing that sets the runepriest off for me is the lack of offense. I know they are primarily healing and support but from what i understand all classes heals and such increase with combat. Is this not true for the runepriest?

[Soulsmith]

hmmm this si really interesting information. Im just wondering though, are they like shamans? Do they have to hurt to build up their version of mana to heal better? cos if its just healing thats quite lame.

[Hiddenblade]

Very nice info, well done. Stuff like this makes me want to be a runepriest even more.

[Spikenog]

Great work on these threads Scrub! Really looking forward the runepriest once the game launches (or by some miracle I get into beta), thanks for the info. :D

[Skozat]

Just wanted to say that I love your 101 threads Scrub. Good job.

[pippin]

man scrub these are really nice and helpful (keep 'em coming!!)

[evsky]

Hi, does anyone have any info on what other weapons Runepriests may be able to weild or is it just strictly Rune staffs?

I think i hear something about them crafting rune weapons to use.

Any info??

[Konrad Siegesruf]

Runestaves, possibly with hammerheads 8)

[Varking]

I just wanted to say thank you for doing these threads, because they make the information easy to read and all in one place.

[Voevoda]

Thanks a lot Salka Valka. I have been waiting so long for the Runepriest info, and bam there it is! If you don't mind, can you please post the name of the Prussian site or just PM it to me. I can read Russian.

[Loekii]

As it says on the Rune Priest section of the WAR website:

Well armored in medium, rune-inscribed armorSo i doubt very much if there is only cloth between you and that enemy choppa. You may be wearing a robe on top of the armour, but you're not in just cloth. Expect light mail or leather.

I would hope that means 'medium METAL' -- chainmail as opposed to leather.

Dwarfs are sturdy folk, melee focused, and brave. Even their system - Grudge - is based upon getting into the thick of it, rather than simply sitting back and hiding in back lines.

I hope they ditch the 'robes' and go with something more along the lines of chain and tunics.

In my opinion, they should be Battle-Clerics, not Mages.

[Sian]

Well, if you take a look at artwork and screenshots featuring engineers, you'll notice that their armour has a pretty leathery look - and in the description it's called light armour. That hints towards metal armour underneath the robes of a rune priest - the shoulderpads definitely look like metal to me.

[Raith]

Great thread! I hope Runepriest will be as fun as they are looking to be.

When I see medium armor, i'm thinking leather mostly...maybe some light mail in the art work, but mostly leather covered by cloth on the outside. I'd like to see less in the "robes" department and more options with pants, capes, hoods, helmets and glvoes.

Just things to mix up the look so we don't look like a generic priest. Rune inscribed armor gives me some hope as a description.

The rune spells also look pretty good. Nice mix of offensive and defensive abilities. Can't wait to play this class!

[harkan]

while i love this info, i adore it actually it feels like leaked beta info and thats illgale on this site i think.

[Voevoda]

It was probably gathered by someone who attended a games convention and played a premade runepriest character. That's who most already known skills found its way on this site. No one is breaking the law!

It seems that medium armor in this game isn't leather but chainmail mostly. Warhammer tends to call leather light armor and cloth is seen as no armor.

The Bright Wizard Look
# Effectively unarmored, wearing elaborate and often enchanted robes and regalia.

Zealot Look
# Essentially unarmored, in heavy robes and other ritual vestments and regalia

Another good example is the Choppa who wears light to moderate armor, which looks like leather and some chainmail as well. The Magus wears light armor, but they also seem to have some pieces made out of plate (shoulder and helmet).

Just wanted to show that medium armor is called light armor.

Following some good art of what to expect for the Runepriest:

[Gorrr]

nice...

it's gonna be hard beating dwarf teams with smart rune healers... oh well i lll probably be on chaos vs empire lands anyways =P

[Gretha]

This Runepriest armor doesn't look that bad.
Makes the Priest/Engineer decision even tougher :confused:


Wait a moment


Alter Fate, Resurrects all allies within 30 feet. Anyone who is brought back from the dead will also be healed for a large amount over 9 seconds. (Rank 4)


is it confirmed?
I can aleady hear the greenskins cursing :twisted:

[Spiky Yellowteef]

This Runepriest armor doesn't look that bad.
[/b]is it confirmed?
I can aleady hear the greenskins cursing :twisted:

That skill and all of the Healer tactics and morale looks like Zealot skills and tactics. We know that the Zealot has a Subtlety tactic according WAR-recourse.

[Feigro]

Such is the nature of the "Healer" category. They're archetype based in such that all Healers have access to them. Just as all Dwarfs have access to those "Dwarf" Morale abilities. The combat system podcast (http://mythicmktg.fileburst.com/war/us/media/flash/2007-09_pp_CombatSystem.html) specifies this for Morale abilities, though it wouldn't (doesn't) surprise me that there are such Racial/Archetypal categories for Tactics as well.

Oh and Gretha, technically, nothing is confirmed. ;)

[Eldrik]

I was originally going to play RP but ive been converted to Shaman. But I have to say the RP looked pretty cool in that mock Altdorf Siege in the newsletter. The one I saw looked like a standard bearer, cept with the flag on his back! Very cool. I will enjoy taking that as a trophy! *Cackles, then disappears after an explosion of green smoke.*

I also doubt that Alter Fate is an instant cast, I can picture it now. "Rise my fellow warriors of the Karak a Karaz!" *Begins casting*... *Interupted by the cheeky Shaman Eldrik Legbita*... *Orc Choppas finish the job*...

[Dastion]

Wow, I've seen some of the info for runepriests but I didn't know anything about the higher tier abilities or tactics.. it looks freaking amazing. It's good to see that they will have a knockback. I seem to remember seeing one on war-resource.com called "Away with you" that knocked everyone around you away (but that was a morale ability).

And yes, everyone has 3 types of tactics and morale abilities. Career Specific, Race Specific, and Archetype Specific, so things should be fairly balanced since all of the "big" things are in the archetype specific morale and tactics. I wish we had more information about them though. This is the first Mythic game/xpac that I haven't been on the beta side of, so it kills me to not be the one holding all the secrets, lol.

I love all of the 25% chance abilities that you can tack(tic) onto your heals. Giving someone morale while healing them will be huge.

Runepriests seem to be very much the "opposite" of Zealots in some ways. Runepriests have specific buffs and ground based group buffs, while Zealots have buffs and ground based debuffs... and of course each has their "flare" that makes them different. The Runepriest's trigger abilities off of his buff (a triggerable rez!? Wow!), while the Zealot has his Harbinger stuff.

[Radiohead316]

Where did you get this info Dastion? I didn't know anything that specific was released.

[Dastion]

Where did you get this info Dastion? I didn't know anything that specific was released.

Read the entire thread, the bit i was obviously referencing to (i.e. NOT my own info) is on the second page where someone posted a ton of Runepriest abilities from a russian forum :-)

But, I'm not in beta if that is what you were getting at, and if i was I wouldn't even be commenting on any abilities even if other people posted them.

Some of this stuff is already known, but some might be sneaked in from Beta... but if yer not in beta, there is nothing for you to worry about - you didn't sign the contract.

Seeing how it's a russian forum, supposedly.... as a russian myself, i can tell ya that the chances of this being sneaked in from closed beta breaking NDA are pretty good...

Or maybe it's all made up stuff based on already known things.

Yes, but you can get XP from pvp! With that, if RP's suck at soloing PvE, then I know what I'm doin!! :-P

[seirios]

i'd love to roll a runepriest, but the sight of those giant neon-light runes flashing every time i cast a spell gets to my nerves. its not like their spell graphics(which are cool), rune's apearence just sux...
