Occult mastery

Here is a peak at the 3rd mastery as it is shaping up.

It is still early in development and anything could change. So far though, it is shaping up to include two powerful pets, crippling debuffs, and damage over time spells. The first pet is a mystical great raven, a familiar that supports the Occultist with healing spells, buffs, and attack spells of its own. The second pet is a hellhound with vicious melee attacks and hellfire breath.

Beautiful! I’ve always been partial to summons and it’s nice to see more.

Oh shi-…

It sounds perfect!

Medierra, any chance of releasing some videos? =)

I can’t wait, this is going to be so goooooood! =)

EDIT: The green stormy effect, it is looking really good! And the symbol…damn nice! May I ask what will it do? The dead “monster” is in a quite bad shape, haha.

Great - may we assume that the raven also heals himself and other pets?

I tried to drag rotate the screeenshot :o

Will the pets feature their own little upgrade trees?

Occult Mastery… I’ve heard that one before somewhere :slight_smile:

I love how the hero looks like a badass undertaker on that screenshot btw.

I did not want to say that first, hehe. =)

True, really great job they do.

Should be as in TQ.

Oh is it a class in another game? I imagine just about any class name I come up with will have been used somewhere. :undecided:

It is, in TQ. =)

Underlord Mod

But do not worry, it is perfect name and it will be awesome class worshipped by many! :wink:

LOL - from the Underlord F.A.Q. anti-anti-caps

He revised the Rogue mastery and called it Occult.

Astonishing Medierra!

I look at that picture and the colors just leap right at me! It looks amazing!

These spells have the kind of eye candy that I look for in a game, nice and colorful, full of life and vigor. I’d say that skill pretty much accomplishes that.

Awesome job you guys!

I hope you can make every skill look as awesome as that, but in their own unique way.

I hope the melee mastery gets some awesome looking skills.

This is the best one yet…love the skill graphics!

I wouldn’t worry about it, anything you come up with will be taken in some way shape or form. Looks cool!

Looks nice, good to see the process is going well. What was the number of classes targeted for release? Some where around 6 I hope.

When I look at the character in the picture I think “Rogue Inquisitor”. Someone who has gotten a little to friendly with the dark forces or possibly corrupted without realizing it till was to late.

It was 5 if I remember correctly.

Love how it looks!! Can’t wait to play this game. :slight_smile:

Looking good, I love the spell effects and colours :slight_smile:

The colors really stand out against the stark and dour backgrounds. I was a little worried that GD might descend into the, “reality is brown,” aesthetic hell that other games get trapped ion, but I think using spell effects for the color could work really well.

The image of (literal) a world of darkness focused around your character as the one spark of color and light is compelling.
