New article on official site, wind spirits.

Check out the new article on "Wind Spirits" here!

EDIT: I've uploaded the high-res concept image to our gallery here.

So, if wind is one of four elements, I'm guessing fire, water, and earth are the other three. There'll probably be spirits for these other elements too. Oh, and it looks like summoning is a definite for Wizards.

lol they look so badass

Cynthe · 05-23-2007, 11:38 AM

Ooh yes! They look very awesome a cross between FF's summons and a pokemon.. Well I wanted to be a healer but I think this might push my choice towards the wizard

Angryoaf · 05-23-2007, 12:01 PM

Hmm so is this confirmation of summoners?

SilverNight · 05-23-2007, 01:07 PM

I love new tidbits! I really hope rangers are able to befreinds creatures. >.> This gives me hope! I've always been some form of beastmaster if the game allows it.

Looks B@d@ss

nice baby nice

Wizards with pets. Overpowering perhaps?

I would rather have damaging spells and snares than pets to even me out i think. Perhaps this is a branch off choice of the wizard choice

Wizard into either Summoner or Mage. Makes sense i suppose. Also it does say that the more powerful wizards can summon them so it could either be a path choice or maybe a quest on obtaining a certain level.

They look pretty cool though.

Awwwww, they're soooooo cute ^.^ They're even cuter than L2's unicorns, imo!

mufar · 05-23-2007, 02:50 PM

things like this are pushing me more towards mage, due to the fact im not playing a mage becuase game seems fairly mele based. From the early videos , the mage was being hit a lot whille hunting, due to super long cast times (kinda defeats the purpose of a ranged class imo). These pets, if they can even act as a semi tank, would certianly help balance this.

Hopefully more and more info keeps rolling in.

Saito · 05-23-2007, 03:13 PM

nice, guess besides water, earth fire and wind we can probably look forward to two other "elements" dark and light (holy)

looking forward to see more of the dark element as we haven't seen anything of the fallen yet unless they plan to split up the 4 elements between the two sides (fire and wind for fallen and water and earth for chosen?) or maybe they will give access to all 4 elements on both sides which would be even better.

so if you choose to become a mage type you can choose your element and work down a skill tree on and you can choose t specialize or be a jack of all elements so to say.

All this art is great but I really look forward to more skill details and skill tree's as those will have most effect on the game play and balance between classes. I personally hope there will be a clear difference between the summoner and normal elemental mages.

anyways im pondering off topic <_<

This almost seems based on Guild Wars with a bit more punch for excitement.

Yakuzan · 05-23-2007, 04:10 PM

Summoners are very flashy when I see one in town is always gives me that desire to make one, but actually I never liked controlling a creature, one charater is enough.

Can't wait to see how the other four elemental creatures look like, I'ts good to see servitors will evolve over-time(or level), I just wonder if summoning classes will only get to choose one element and if only one creature will be available to summoners.

I don't see that at all, I don't recall anything in GW like this, or maybe it's just been that long since I played. /shrug there's a lot of mmos with pets you can summon, I just hope this class won't suffer from limitations for fear of 'overpowering' them.

ie: The Lore Masters in LOTRO, in beta you could have your pet tank, but they took this away as it made the class too solo efficient.. So what happened? Poor lore masters are 'useless' because even though they have some really nice buffs for grouping, it's not needed much until later levels, therefore no party invites, and harder time at soloing.. Much like FFXI who's summoner are nothing but second rate healers until they get most of their summons, again at later levels..

well whatever happens with summoners... the wind spirit looks freakin awesome!
