Review: Throne And Liberty Packs An Impressive Punch Will It Last

From WarhammerWorkshop

It's important to pair skills to create a potent build that'll help you achieve your goals. For instance, your passive skills can bolster specific active skills when equipped together. Also, you can unlock skills at various levels.

Each skill can be boosted for a cost. This cost comes in the form of Skill Specialization Points that you earn as you level up. You can expend these points on various enhancements or "specialization effects" for a given skill. Each enhancement comes with a specific cost. So, choose wisely.

In battle, wands will grant you a modicum of safety through ranged attacks. The wand also offers great support and is considered a top choice for players who want to play in a support role or as a healer. Wands don't typically offer heavy damage striking capabilities which is the weapon's primary drawback.

Most of Throne and Liberty is forgiving if you want to play the game your way and worry about optimization later. When it comes to stat point distribution, it's entirely free to reset your stat points and reallocate them as you wish. You can experiment with stat setups or you can put them where you want until you hit max level and really want to optimize your character for performance.

In Throne And Liberty , combat strategy and the weapons you equip play a major role in your overall success. While there aren't exactly classes in this MMORPG, there are weapons that almost act as classes coming with their own unique skills and enhancements.

The same goes with Skill Specialization. These are tweaks you can make to your skill to enhance them or give yourself additional buffs such as +15% Attack Speed as long as you have that skill. Other changes allow you to completely change the way the skill works and even what the skill is called. These specializations can immensely change the way your class is played. The fact that it's completely free to reset and change these at will is a huge plus. On the other hand, Weapon Mastery points are not able to be reset, so you should know what you want to invest into before spending these points, as they take a long time to unlock.

While you **can __ ** change which weapons you use, it's not advisable unless you are doing it within the first 10 or so character levels. You need a lot of skill books to continue upgrading all your skills to the highest levels, and a huge chunk of these books comes from quests while you are level up to 50. If you are at level 50 and want to change which weapons you use, you will need to gather thousands of these books again to help level up the skills of the new weapon, and they are much harder to come by vs. just completing main story quests.

When I play I like to see my DPS (damage per second). I like to see it pitted against the other players in my group to see how I'm performing (Hi damage meters in WoW!), but more importantly and more essential for me is to just at least see my own DPS, I don't even need to see other people's. Seeing my own damage output allows me to set benchmarks for myself and set my goals on improving that number and continuing to optimize my setup to push higher and higher. Without something like this, I'm not sure I will remain hooked on the game. Not knowing how much I am contributing to the group makes it feel like I'm just along for the ride and I may not be an important part of the effort.

With impressive storytelling, amazing combat and interesting upgrading systems, Throne and Liberty excels where many MMORPGs fail right off the bat. My main concern is that I just don't know if there is something there to keep me coming back and wanting to improve my character. If I don't know how well I'm performing and how much I'm contributing to the group, how will I know I need to improve? Furthermore, if there are further ways to optimize my character, how will I know the changes I make are making a large difference, other than a "gut feel" when attacking enemies.

Those who seek speed will want to utilize daggers. These weapons can also be boosted for damage precision by increasing your critical hit chance. With rapid attacks, your chances are even greater for delivering heavy damage with a critical strike.
