Healing
- Cleric classes are the only classes that can fill the role of a primary healer.[3] Kasztok with Cleric as a secondary archetype will have self-healing benefits as well as limited healing benefits to other players.[3][4][5][6]
- No one is going to fill the role of a primary healer other than the healer archetype; but there will be secondary class options that you can select, which will provide you with some level of sustainability under restoration, most of that will be centralized to yourself, especially in the case of a Paladin.[3] – Steven Sharif
- In general, templated AoE heals will heal any non-combatant players.[7]
- Q: Will AoE and action heals also heal raid and alliance members?
- A: Depending on the type, if it's a templated AoE, yes it would heal any non-combatants essentially.[7] – Steven Sharif
- You cannot heal enemy mobs. There's just really not a a relevant use-case for that when it comes to the design mechanics of such a thing, other than its primary use, which would be to grief other players.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Certain healing abilities, such as Communal Restoration, can overheal. This is indicated by a blue temporary health bar overlay on top of a player's health bar.[1][2] If the temporary health points expire without being consumed they do not count as effective heals.[1]
- Q: Do you plan to add any sort of counters for healing? For example, a debuff that applies a reduced healing effect or maybe even cause damage upon healing?
- A: Ashes aims to be a more difficult leveling experience than perhaps we have been accustomed to over the past decade of MMO gameplay. And with that in mind, when it comes to balancing during Alpha-2 and thereafter, there is not going to be an overage of healing that's available. We will tune those things. We'll have an opportunity to balance those things... Some of the debuff options that the fighter class has within their class kit are debuffs that can reduce received healing on the target.[9] – Steven Sharif
Skill | Icon | Origin | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Barrier | Cleric | Sacrifice 25% of your maximum health to place a health shield on target ally for 10 seconds. Does not stack.[10][11] | |
Blood Fusion | Fighter | Return 100% of damage dealt as health and 50% of damage dealt as mana over the next 6 seconds. If activated while below 50% health, gain 25% increased damage mitigation and healing received over the duration.[12] | |
Castigation | Cleric | Lashes your target with holy energy whip, dealing direct damage and restoring health and mana to yourself over time.[13][14][15][16] | |

Consuming Lethal Blow | Fighter | Lethal Blow returns 50% of overkill damage dealt as health and mana.[20] | |
Defiant Light | Cleric | Heal target ally for 50% of their maximum health over 10 seconds. If that target would receive fatal damage while under this effect, this effect is consumed and prevents that target's death, healing them for 25% of their maximum health instead.[21][22] | |
Deliverance | Cleric | Held ability: Charges up healing energy that heals a target ally upon release, scaling in power the longer it is charged and the more % missing health of the target.[23][24] | |

Each charge of this ability consumed after the first has no mana cost, and restores an increasing amount of mana to the caster based on the number of missing charges. Consecutive uses of the ability will gain bonus healing.[44][45] | |
Radiant Burst | Cleric | Heals allies around you in a wide area for a large amount.[46] Stacks up to 3 times.[14] | |
Regeneration | Cleric | Bathe your target with restorative energy that heals them over time.[47][14] | |

Wings of Salvation | Cleric | Sprout phoenix-like wings and leap to target ally, then grant a small amount of temporary health to that target on arrival.[53][54] An ally is defined as any non-combatant player or non-mob NPC.[55] |
Cleric augments
Kasztok with Cleric as a secondary archetype are able to choose between life or death augments.[5][6]
- Choosing life augments will provide self-healing benefits as well as limited life-giving benefits to other players.[3][4][5]
- Some cleric augments applied to certain skills will indirectly provide the ability to heal others. These will not replace the need for a cleric archetype.[56]
- Cleric augments will radically change the type of summons available from the summoner primary archetype.[57]
- Any class that's going to choose Cleric as a secondary class will have the ability to pick from those augments to influence their skills to affect the life of others around you.[5] – Steven Sharif
Health
Health is a stat in Ashes of Creation.[60][61]
- If you are targeting another player specifically, another player not an NPC. If you're targeting another player and that player is not a member of your guild, alliance, raid, or party- those are the four affiliation factors. If they're not a part of those four groups you will not have specific information of their HP level. You will have quarters of information to their [HP] level and you may progress to get that a bit more granular, perhaps to sixths or eighths. You're not going to have exact information about what amount of hit points they have available to them. That level of obfuscation protects a bit of that engagement, that TTK interaction. So you might overshoot a target if you don't know exactly if they're down to their last 20% or 25%. That I think is a very healthy thing to have in PvP, but it is not a normal game design mechanic.[62] – Steven Sharif
- Players that are not in the same party, raid, alliance, or guild will not be able to see other player's exact health bar values or percentages.[62][59][63][60][61] This information will instead be displayed in quarters. A player may be able to progress to see sixths or eighths.[62]
- Previously it was stated that a player's name plate would deteriorate to give an indication of how much damage they have taken.[60][61][64]
Szerepkörök
Az Ashes of Creation-ben a hagyományos szentháromság szerepkörök találhatóak meg: Tank, DPS és Támogató/Healer.[65][66]
- Bár a hagyományos szerepkörök vannak jelen, a játékos nincs az elsődleges archetípusa által korlátozva.[65][66]
- A készség augmentációk a kaszt rendszerben elérhetőek, és megengedik hogy az elsődleges archetípuson felül személyre szabd a készségeidet.[65][66][67]
- Meg van viszont a lehetőség, hogy rákoncentrálj az elsődleges archetípusodra, az általa biztosított szerepkört tovább erősítve.[65][66]
We have our eight base archetypes; and the trinity is a pretty strong influence with regards to the eight base classes. However the area in which we actually begin to play with that line between the trinity is in the secondary classes that you can pick. That's where we begin to blend those spaces and allow people a little bit of influence over their role and whether or not they fit perfectly within a particular category within the trinity.[67] – Steven Sharif
Class abilities
Primary skills (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[70][71]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[72][73] The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[70][72][73][71][74]
- Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.[75]
- Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.[76]
- Primary skills in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.[77]
Skill points
Players receive skill points at specific points as they level.[79] These can be used to level up skills (increase their rank) within their active, passive or combat/weapon skill trees.[80][81][82][83]
- Making active skills capable of receiving additional skill point allocations and unlocking additional features so that from a player agency standpoint it's going to be up to you whether or not you want to be more diverse but less depth- wider and not taller, in some of these skill choices. Or if you want to be very very tall, that's going to be something that is up to the player in that regard.[84] – Steven Sharif
- Skill points will accrue at specific XP milestones, such as 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 progress through the level, so as to avoid creating an imbalance with experience debt.[79]
- We do have this concept of experience debt that does accrue and we don't want to create an imbalance between skill points acquired versus experience, so we're going to predicate your skill points acquisition based on benchmarks you reach when leveling through a level. So these are going to be at specific points in the level, like one quarter progress, to half progress, to three quarters progress: you're going to get an influx of skill points and then you'll be able to allocate them into your skill tree.[79] – Steven Sharif
- Skill points can be used to unlock universal skills at the expense of unlocking class-specific skills.[85]
- Respeccing (resetting and reallocating) adventuring skills may require travelling to a specific location rather than being able to be done on-the-fly.[86][87]
- Augments do not cost skill points.[88] It was previously stated that certain augments will have more expense required on the skill point side.[89]
- It will not be possible to max all skills in a skill tree.[83]
- In terms of skill progression, players can choose to go "wide" and get a number of different abilities, or go "deep" into a few specific abilities.[90]
Balancing
A hatvannégy (64) kaszt felosztható nyolc elsődleges archetípusra. Az aktív képességek egyensúlya csak erre a nyolc elsődleges archetípusra vonatkozik.[91]
- Minden archetípushoz hozzá van rendelve négy csoportnyi augmentáció. Az augmentációk egyensúlya a nyolc archetípus négy-négy augmentáció csoportján múlik.[91]
Az egyensúly egy oly fontos része a kaszt rendszernek, hogy biztosra akarunk menni, hogy van betöltendő szerep minden lehetséges kombináció számára.[92] – Steven Sharif
Nem azért csinál az ember 64 kasztot, hogy aztán csak négy legyen kihasználva.[92] – Peter Pilone
Az egyensúly az Ashes of Creation-ben "csoport orientált".[93]
Lesznek olyan viszonyok 1v1 helyzetekben, ahol az egyik kaszt egyértelműen jobb a másiknál; és itt egy kő-papír-olló dinamikának kell lennie. Azt akarjuk hogy legyen ellenszer a különböző kasztok között... Így csoport egyensúlyra fog a játékegyensúly koncentrálni, ahol ha megvan a megfelelő kaszt-változatosság egy kompozícióban, akkor igazságos lesz a játszma. Nagyon is a készségen és a stratégián fog múlni.[93] – Steven Sharif
Bizonyos másodlagos archetípusok képesek "áthidalni a rést" az ellenszerük ellen.[94]
Bizonyos archetípusok képesek kezelni a rést az ellentettjük ellen önmagukban. Például ha én egy Tank archetípus vagyok, és az ellenszerem a Mage, a Mage-et másodlagosként választva valamilyen szinten áthidalom a különbséget; és az identitásomat valamelyest abba az irányba mozgatom.[94] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse healing
Healing in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse will be reticle based (action targeted).[95]
- Healing skills are proximity based: Centered on self or centered on projectile impact.[96][97]
- There will be healing potion bursts (healing grenades) that will grant life to allies.[97]
- Healing is part of Class kits that come into play during the testing of Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges.[96][98]
We have a few design theories on action combat and healing to began with phase one. Part of that will be the implementation of a class system into the castle siege and horde mode of phase one. Those will be kits that play out as skills available from an action perspective. You'll be able to target in proximity, basically so positioning is going to matter. Importantly, for healers being close to the individual party members you wish to heal. Additionally, you'll have reticle based healing methods. This would be a template that could be launched in that direction as a pulse of heels or augments. So there's a lot of different systems are playing with that you'll see more of when we get to those when we get to the castle siege system and the Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.[95] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse healing potions
- None -
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse class kits
Six classes will be present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.[99]
- Warrior classes
- DPS classes
- Support classes
These classes relate to the trinity of classes: Tank, DPS and Support.[99][100]
- Skills/abilities are not tied specifically to weapons in castle siege mode.[101]
- It was previously stated that weapon skills are applied to augment a class' base skills.[98]
- Base class skills may be able to be selected from a host of available skills for that class based on a player's progression within that season.[98][102]
We had a little bit of an idea that we're going to explore with regards to each of the classes having a range of skills and abilities that players can customize that skill kit based on their progression within a season, let's say; and that progression can be gained from any of the modes and it would grant you the ability to customize that skill kit for the before the siege mode or the horde mode. But that's something that might come at a later date.[102] – Steven Sharif
Ashes of Creation Apocalypse classes only apply to Ashes of Creation Apocalypse castle sieges and Ashes of Creation Apocalypse horde mode.[103]
