The entrance to Varanas City. Stormwind, much?
The 2nd alpha phase of Runes of Magic PH will end tonight. The 4 days of Alpha 2 was short and I wasn't able to play that much because of a family member's death due to the previous storm that hit Northern Luzon but that's for another entry.
I was able to test the duel feature though and be able to create a skill build for my future Priest/Knight. The low defense rating that most spell casters have can be remedied by the knight's skills especially the parry, stamina and armor rating passive buffs. With those buffs, I can support my party mates without dying so often. There's also a priest skill where you can remove the aggro from you for 5 seconds which is good for mobbing or boss hunting since healing spells can generate a lot of hate if used often. There's also an elite skill for the Priest/Knight combo that increases the effectiveness of heal and reducing MP cost but it will also halved your magical attack power but as a full support priest, I don't think it's really a bad thing.

For now, I'll just have to wait for the next alpha test or hopefully, the closed beta test so I can test my build further. I haven't tested it for dungeon raiding and group PvP.

The last time I blogged was a year ago so I decided to create a new one instead of reviving my old blog. I hope I can be more active with the posting this time. You'll probably find more updates in my plurk page than here though but I will try to update my blog at least once a week.
