Black desert characters. Races and classes in Black Desert. Who is the Barbarian suitable for?

We met the first five classes that will be available to players at the start of open beta testing of the Russian version of Black Desert. But that is not all! It's time to take a quick look at the classes that will appear on Russian servers in the foreseeable future. Please note that Russian-language names for these classes have not yet been announced. Guides will be added for all classes as they are implemented on the servers of the Russian publisher.

The first new class will be Ronin (Blader)- samurai of the world of Black Desert. The class uses a katana and boasts high efficiency in combat.

The next class after Blader will be Valkyrie- warrior girl with a sword and shield. This class is similar to the Warrior, but has a number of unique abilities, including support skills.

After Valkyrie we will meet the character Sakura (Mae-Wha). It will be a girl again. Mae-Wha is essentially a female version of Blader, but has a number of unique combat skills.

The next class update will be a duo Wizard And Witch. Despite the different names, at the moment the classes differ only in gender: Wizard is male, and Witch is female. These are classic elemental magicians who control the elements. Their weapon was the good old staff.

The long-awaited eleventh grade will be Kunoichi- ninja girl. This is a classic assassin with a dagger and a full range of all kinds of tricks and powerful ones, capable of becoming invisible. A noteworthy point: Kunoichi has two types of secondary weapons to choose from - kunai or shuriken.

Following Kunoichi will appear on the servers Ninja- a male version of Kunoichi with a number of unique skills. The class has not yet been officially introduced, but this will happen soon.

The list of classes doesn't end there. The developers are hatching plans and considering various options, for example, there is the possibility of a warrior with a two-handed sword or a gnome warrior. Previously, a screenshot of a male elf archer was shown. The developers will definitely surprise us, as they have done more than once!

Today we will talk about the game Black Desert. A lot of people are trying to figure out what classes will be featured in this online project. We will try to help them in this review.

General information

So, before us is the game Black Desert. There are nine classes presented here: ranger, valkyrie, blader, wizard, summoner, barbarian, sorceress, archer, warrior. The project is under development. There are currently 5 active classes. The character's gender plays a key role. It is he who influences the tactics and style of combat, as well as skills in Black Desert. There are no classes dividing players by profession here. The skill tree has been implemented, but it is individual. The project does not have a maximum level of character development.

Mystic

We have already provided general information about the game Black Desert. An overview of the classes will follow. And we'll start with the Mystic. We are talking about a fragile, charming girl who specializes in close combat and wields melee weapons. In addition, she can summon a pet. You can't completely rely on it, but it's ideal as a secondary weapon. The Mystic's main defense is a short sword. With this, the girl is capable of performing a quick series of attacks. Members of this character class have various spells. They are able to reduce the enemy's defense and attack. Magic class. Uses mana for skills. If the character's development level is high enough, the Mystic will be able to saddle a pet and then attack opponents on horseback.

Black Desert (classes): Barbarian

In this case we are talking about a ruthless character. The class is similar to people, but much higher than them. This option is ideal for project participants who prioritize character strength. The barbarian uses axes as his main weapon. The main feature is the transformation into a werewolf, which lasts several seconds. The character can cause enormous damage, also capture, and then throw enemies around. The main disadvantages of the Barbarian are clumsiness and slowness. It is difficult for him to cope with several opponents at the same time. However, this class has no equal if the opponent attacks alone. The skills in this case depend on the level of Fury. It accumulates through the damage the enemy has received. The Barbarian is the only class that has an exclusively male gender.

Other classes

This game also has an Archer class. We are talking about peace-loving elves. However, they are always ready to defend their territory and life. This class is created for connoisseurs of ranged combat. He is distinguished by his special beauty and dexterity. The main feature is accuracy and speed. The main weapon is a bow. Their skills depend on a special energy, it is called EP. When entering a fight on the side of archers, it is important to keep enemies at a distance and not let them get closer to you. The sorceress is included in the group but is considered an outcast among her own people. The main feature is dark magic. The main weapon is knowledge. She uses sacred talismans as weapons. He puts them on his hands. The sorceress is considered a magician. Character skills consume MP. A warrior is a member of the human race. He is fluent with a shield and sword. He is agile and has tremendous attack speed. With his second hand he holds a shield, it increases defense, resistance and allows him to stun. The appearance of this class of characters is classic. The female warrior is called Valkyrie. You can create a Valkyrie by accumulating rage, causing damage to enemies. It is currently unknown when this character will be fully introduced into the project. The warrior has received a number of amazing skills; few characters can resist him. Now you know everything you need to know about the game Black Desert. We have described the character classes as fully as possible.

The vast world of Black Desert Online is made in the spirit of the European Middle Ages. More precisely, the times when the events of the project take place can be described as a transitional stage from one era to another - from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

The developers try to maintain this style in everything: architecture, social and cultural features, clothing and weapons, and much more. Elegant execution in restrained colors, attention to detail and mechanics, stunning authenticity of the game world.

In this frame, the selection of races that are currently presented in BD, and these are: people, elves, giants, hobbits and gnomes, looks very natural.

The appearance of each race varies greatly: from skin color to the shape of the pupils, which is clearly visible in video clip, demonstrating the capabilities of the character editor. But, despite all the variety, the color range is reasonably limited: no acidic shades. There are also restrictions in other parameters, for example, physique, which, although can be varied, is also within certain limits.
Although, if desired, the character can be given a certain psychedelic quality with the help of rather bright and non-standard tattoos.

In addition to changeable external characteristics, in which the developers did not embarrass us, each race has its own characteristics, which we will now consider.

People

Elves

Characters of both genders are available. Surprisingly, in Black Desert, elves do not have hypertrophied signs of “elfism”. Modestly pointed, neat ears and above average height are all the visual differences from people. But their class does not cause any surprise - archers ().

Giants

Unexpectedly, there are no plans to introduce female characters. Considering the developers' statement that they will not give players the opportunity to create ugly characters, the absence of a female version of the giant seems almost logical (at least for Korean developers). Represented class − berserk (

Ordinary - at first glance, the game does not offer us anything new. People, elves and giants (=barbarians) in the list of races are boring. Everything in the list of classes is not so obvious: warrior, valkyrie, archer, giant, blader, sorceress, gandalf, spellcaster - even if archetypes are guessed behind some names, it is not possible to predict in advance the complete specialization of each class (except perhaps for the warrior). Moreover, the “trick” of Black Desert is precisely to get away from standard leveling as much as possible - and give you the opportunity to make your class as unique as possible. So, Guide to classes in Black Desert.

Nice, just a Korean cutie...

To begin with, it is worth making a reservation. This review examines the classes that are relevant today - as you know, there are still rumors of varying degrees of mythicality surrounding the addition of new ones - they are expected, and they will definitely appear soon. And yes, this is not a guide or instructions, but a simple overview of the classes in the game.

Black Desert: Archer.

Archer was the second class announced in Black Desert Online. When compared to other MMOs, the archer in BD is as similar as possible to the hunter archetype - the same pros and cons. The Archer is great at range, she's agile and traditionally good at PVP - and she's also traditionally unfriendly to newbies. Experienced players are well aware of the disadvantages of archers: this is the most banal class in terms of any innovations. The gameplay is always approximately the same - hunt game from afar and also help your partners in raids from afar. The main thing is to skillfully buff yourself and stop the enemy - and then you will be able to kill him even before he has time to approach you.

The brave archer herself

It is important to know that in Black Desert Online, archers have some of the strongest (and, accordingly, most difficult) combos - they need to be memorized, you need to hone your timing and flow. In general, this requires experience. In addition, the archer is traditionally limited in the choice of defensive equipment - which significantly reduces the protective potential. That is why it is believed that Archer is a class for skill players. If you are interested in the archer, you can read:.

Black Desert: Barbarian.

It can only be a giant. Judging by its appearance, it’s immediately clear that Black Desert decided that the warrior should be separated from the tank - so we got two classes. The barbarian is exceptionally strong and resilient - he has no equal in close combat. The barbarian model itself is almost twice the size of the regular model in BD. At the same time, the Barbarian’s skill build has one feature that was revealed recently - this class is significantly stronger than the Warrior in PVE, but weaker in PVP. However, this is not an axiom. So, say, a barbarian can knock down opponents within a certain radius - and this will give a significant bonus in PVP, while in a dangerous dungeon a warrior can cover the same archer with his shield.
It’s interesting that the Barbarian is a tank even without epic gear – it’s his abilities that decide. However, the barbarian’s clothes are the most brutal in the game. Helmets made of bones, huge armor, severe axes - the barbarians look incredibly terrifying.

It is not known where this big guy Chernomor came from, but the mountain of his muscles makes you respect him.

Black Desert: Sorceress

It would seem like an ordinary warlock. But no, the feature of Black Desert makes the female sorceress a separate character. There are no male sorcerers in the game at all - men can only be magicians with the “dark” branch - and this is a completely different gameplay that has yet to be explored. According to players, the sorceress is the most interesting (at the moment) class in the game. The gameplay behind the sorceress is a triumph of combos, spells and sharp attacks in close combat. This is the purest flow, in which every mistake in a combination can lead to defeat. Being a battle mage, the sorceress is surprisingly strong in close combat, if you stay there for a short time - only until the end of the combo.

She kills for a long time, painfully, painfully... Although no. quickly... but painfully.

It is important to know that the sorceress's specialization is PVE and mass spells. This is a character who leaves behind a scorched earth - incredible power when farming and grinding - and the enchanting beauty of spells at the same time. The focus on mass spells and the most powerful AOE help in dungeons and mass fights, but significantly reduce its potential in PVP - at the moment the Sorceress is the weakest class presented in the arena. In the near future - and with the development of GW, this will most likely change.
Another interesting feature of the sorceress is that she spends a lot of time casting her spells - given the fast movement of most characters, such a move significantly weakens this class.

Black Desert: Warrior.

Varior - he is a varior everywhere. The warrior in Black Desert Online is unique, except that he is able to give a significant bonus to the protection of everyone around him - for example, covering one of his allies with a shield. At the same time, the difference between a warrior and a Giant in BD is very obvious - the warrior is much more focused on taking and absorbing damage.
In terms of appearance, warriors are probably the most beautiful players in Black Desert. Armor that looks like it was created by ancient stylists, beautiful swords and shields, cool strike animations and amazing mobility. It’s not just a pleasure to play as a warrior, it’s even a pleasure to look at him from the outside - the characters turned out to be so organic.

The one who is in the vanguard. Fast, brave and can bend painfully.

5. Black Desert: Mystic

Mystic (or Tamer) is the most popular class on Asian servers, which was approached with a certain coolness in Russia. The reason is simple - Tamer, despite the summoned pet and the easiest farm in the game, is a clear support that loses 1v1 to any other class in the game. Tamer's strength lies in his pet, which aggravates a huge number of mobs and deals outstanding AOE damage. On the other hand, control of the pet is indirect, and the battles look something like this: we call the pet, aggro the maximum number of enemies against it, distribute buffs to the animal, and then go and farm it in melee.

If you like loneliness, then this is your choice. Faithful pets will replace the party.

In this sense, the Mystic is very good as an auxiliary class - a huge number of buffs + the ability to summon a pet that will absorb the damage - a set of favorite support for any team. But no one likes to play for auxiliary classes in the ru-community - this is a long-known fact. Another disadvantage of tamers on Russian servers is the lack of high-level pets. This is not so scary in farming, but it makes the hero completely useless in pvp - the pet dies quickly, and without it our summoner becomes useless.

My cat and I are always together. No, I’m not a mystic, he just got involved.

New classes will be added soon - and for now one can only guess what exactly will end up on Russian servers. However, one thing is for sure - each of the announced classes sounds very tempting.

Many fans of MMORPG games take the choice of a character in the game, his customization (creating a unique appearance), and the selection of personality traits extremely seriously.

This is due to the fact that the vast majority of gamers strongly associate themselves with their gaming “Alter Ego”, and therefore creating a character (as the beginning of acquaintance with each new MMORPG) is a kind of formation of a new life for oneself. I want the character to be as interesting, charismatic as possible, and most importantly, to match the player’s character. Many people create a character similar to themselves, their friends or idols; others - some ideal of appearance, how they might like to look. The large selection of classes in Black Desert and the widest possibilities for customization in the game will definitely help you create exactly what you want.

The right class, gender, and appearance will ensure that long hours spent in the future in this online game will be comfortable and exciting.

Each player has his own preferences and characteristics of the game. Some people like to crush crowds of gaming monsters with a huge sword, standing on the front line, some, on the contrary, prefer to hit targets from the shadows without showing themselves to the enemy, and some choose not to fight at all, but to heal their allies.

You need to approach the choice of game class wisely. Most often, if a certain class turns out to be uncomfortable for a player, he will abandon it and start playing with another, more suitable one. That is why, in order not to waste time and effort, those starting to play Black Desert Online need to familiarize themselves with basic information about the character classes in the game, find out their description and main features.

This brief overview represents a general description of the Black Desert game classes available for selection at the time the game is released on the Russian-language servers of the game - Warrior, Barbarian, Archer, Mystic, Sorceress.

Brief description of the class: classic swordsman, Warrior - a class found in almost every role-playing game. In Black Desert, the Warrior class is quite canonical, it is a classic knight in armor with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other.

The most common role of the Warrior is as a tank, which can take a huge amount of damage while remaining unharmed.

However, the own damage of this class is quite high, and the most important “weapon” of a warrior in Black Desert, in addition to the sword and shield, is the presence of a large number of control abilities. Due to the capture, knockdown and stunning, the Warrior is a very dangerous opponent in PVP, in a duel with whom you need to be constantly on the alert, because once you let him get dangerously close, you may no longer be able to come out of a long stun alive.

For PVE fans, the Warrior also has nice abilities with huge AOE damage, which allows you to quickly and very effectively farm monsters in large groups, taking virtually no damage. The swordsman copes excellently with single “thick” targets - elite monsters and bosses - again, due to his excellent control and high resistance to damage.

Primary Weapon/Secondary Weapon/Awakened Weapon: Sword/Shield/Great Sword

My overall impression of playing the Warrior class in Black Desert (based on my own experience, feedback and reviews): the class turned out to be balanced and enjoyable to play, and has a right to life. The Warrior shows himself to be a little weak at the beginning of the game, but once he reaches level 35-40, he begins to open up in a new way and acquires excellent farming abilities. With the advent of awakened weapons (level 56), the Warrior completely turns into a real killing machine with luxurious damage and beautiful animation.

From personal feelings - the Warrior in Black Desert is a little boring. For those who have played a sufficient number of MMORPG games and are hungry for new sensations, Warrior will not bring drive and a surge of emotions. The low mobility and some uniformity of the swordsman's attacks can become somewhat boring. And because of his weakness at the initial levels of the game, pumping out a good “playable” Warrior is a rather difficult task, requiring patience and genuine love for this class and this style of play.

Who is Warrior suitable for?

• for beginner players who prefer a direct and open fighting style;
• those who like to “tank” and act as protection for their allies and fellow guild members;
• connoisseurs of two-handed swords - however, for this you will have to level up your character to level 56.

Brief class description: Huge and warlike, the Barbarian is a kind of berserker on the battlefield. Just a mountain of muscles, a real giant, hung with skins and war trophies, armed with two large axes.

The barbarian in Black Desert is the personification of primal power. The class has very high damage and a very high level of health (thanks to a special “built-in” passive +250 HP) even in the early stages of the game. It feels great on the battlefield both as a tank and as a damage dealer (damagedealer, i.e. a character who deals a lot of damage).

The Barbarian is truly the king of PVE. Simple combos, a ton of control and the “vampire” from the “Lightning Wrath” skill makes him the best farmer in the game, capable of crushing monsters with his axes literally without a break. Good farm = a lot of money = good equipment = increased performance. That is why warlike giants have the greatest potential for earning money and being realized in the game.

In PVP, everything is not so rosy: a good Barbarian can certainly become a terrible opponent in a duel, but his some clumsiness and enormous size clearly work against him. The most important thing in the battle against the Barbarian is not to let him get close, because his various control skills can cause a lot of trouble for any opponent.

In any case, the Barbarian is extremely difficult to kill - both in PVP and PVE.

Primary Weapon/Secondary Weapon/Awakened Weapon: Axe/lanyard/hand cannon

Overall impression of playing the Barbarian class in Black Desert (based on my own experience, feedback and reviews): The Barbarian is an excellent class for fans of PVE and farming. The character has a special charisma and a kind of “primitive” charm, as well as very simple controls and pleasant animation.

A lot of people have a barbarian on their account, if not as the main character, then as a “twink” for farming, when the base is a so-so earner. Already from the first levels, a huge berserker can bring very good profits to its “master” without much effort.

This class is very popular not only in Russia, but also in other countries; many bloggers and streamers play Black Desert on Barbarians. Oddly enough, the character does not seem boring, although he is much easier to control than a Warrior, and the awakened weapon-Cannon is generally something very special.

Who is the Barbarian suitable for?

• for beginner gamers who don’t know how to play well enough;
• lovers of “farm and pumping” who prefer to accumulate gaming wealth and make capital;
• for those who want to feel big and strong in the game, not afraid to stand alone against a crowd of enemies.

Brief Class Description: A ranged character, pretty standard for every RPG game. The tall and beautiful elf archer is a deadly, fast and extremely dangerous opponent, possessing all the characteristics typical for this class.

The main role of any shooter is the RDD, that is, the range damage dealer - a character who brings enormous damage over long distances. In close combat, the Archer has no strength, because... has extremely low “strength” and protection. However, the elf has a large number of abilities in her arsenal, aimed at evasion and instantly increasing the distance between her and the intended target.

The Archer in Black Desert feels equally good in both PVE and PVP due to the high DPS and the presence of AOE attacks. She is the one who can kill even a very strong enemy without receiving any damage - simply by not letting the enemy get close to her. Like a deadly butterfly, she flutters around her target, thrusting her sharp arrows into her one by one.

In a duel with a good archer, almost no one has a chance. Some characters die without even understanding where death came from - so be extremely careful when crossing the path of the Archer in Black Desert, for example, at key disputes.

Primary Weapon/Secondary Weapon/Awakened Weapon: Bow/Dagger/Elemental Blade

Overall impression of playing the Archer class in Black Desert (based on my own experience, feedback and reviews): Most Black Desert players consider the Archer to be the most powerful class in the game. It is very difficult to argue with this, because this character has almost everything to dominate the battlefield.

The slight weakness is more than compensated for by speed and dodges: a properly pumped and well-sharpened archer is an almost unkillable enemy.

A very important skill for an Archer is the ability to competently “kite” an enemy, i.e. constantly be tactically ahead, not letting you get close to yourself. Under no circumstances should you allow the enemy to use control abilities on you, otherwise the Archer turns from a deadly weapon into a whipping doll.

The class is a little predictable and “ordinary”, the character animation is a little clumsy in some places, which, however, is more than compensated for by the character’s combat power. After all, those who want to dominate very rarely pursue aesthetic goals.

Who is Archer suitable for?

• players with good gaming skills, speed and reaction, who prefer to deal high damage from a safe distance;
• Passionate PVP lovers.

Mystic

Brief description of the class: one of the most original and unusual classes at the time of the announcement of the game and its release. The mystic (summoner, tamer) is, in fact, not one character, but two, since the miniature Korean girl is given a huge and formidable black Lion as a “gift”.

An analogue of summoners in games of the same genre, Mystic, however, has a number of distinctive features. Tamer in Black Desert, unlike most summoners in other games, has a melee (short) attack, so summoning a Lion and throwing casts at the enemy from afar will not work. However, Leo is the basis of the Mystic's game, because while the black assistant is alive, killing the Mystic is extremely problematic.

Summoning a Lion is available from the very first levels, and with leveling up the “pet” only becomes stronger. He is uncontrollable, has a fairly large amount of health, and can also easily knock you down, and then - good for you.

The Mystic in Black Desert is the second most effective class in PVE (after the Barbarian). From the very first levels, this character can deal with huge crowds of monsters, because... has its own “tank” and “provocateur” - the black Lion. Luxurious AOE attacks can devastate entire locations in a matter of seconds. The developers also did not deprive the Mystic of excellent control skills.

Tamer's only significant weakness is PVP. With the proper skill to play for this class, there should be no problems, but most often in a one-on-one battle, all other things being equal, the Mystic will lose. Characters with a long-range attack - Archers and Sorceresses - are especially terrible for the summoner and Leo, because neither the tamer himself nor his faithful assistant will be able to catch up with them with such speed.

Primary Weapon/Secondary Weapon/Awakened Weapon: Blade/Trinket/Celestial Staff

Overall impression of playing the Mystic class in Black Desert (based on my own experience, feedback and reviews): a very pleasant class in all respects. Uncomplicated, balanced, interesting. Farming on Mystic is easy and pleasant; you can quickly and easily accumulate a sufficient amount of game currency for further development.

Summoning a Lion, available from the very first character levels, gives a huge advantage over other classes. The mystic never feels alone. In addition, starting from level 30, you can ride a summoned Lion - a very unusual and interesting experience for experienced gamers.

The character is quite dependent on the proper leveling of skills, so at high levels he can become either an excellent fighter of the “main roster” or a very mediocre character who will only disappoint his “owner”, so everyone who wants to play the Mystic should definitely study the main guides and reviews on this extremely interesting class. In Korea, by the way, Mystic still remains one of the most popular gaming “incarnations”.

Who is Mystic suitable for?

• favorite class for girls to play;
• beginner players who do not want to spend a lot of time acquiring skills;
• for lovers of non-standard, unconventional characters “with a twist”;
• those who play “for the soul”, and not for stats, victories in PVP and laurels.

Witch

Brief description of the class: an extremely beautiful and original class, which, however, should not be confused with the canonical and “classic” RDD mage. This is not a magician, but a sorceress, a witch.

The Sorceress in Black Desert has an interesting and, one might say, atypical feature, namely the presence in her arsenal of a large number of melee attacks. And in general, the range of the Sorceress’s attacks is quite short compared to what would be expected from a “classical magician”, who is rumored to “shoot” meteors at very long distances.

This class has great potential, but is considered one of the most difficult to master, because The sorceress has a huge number of different skills and combo attacks, which are quite difficult to “deliver” at the right moment without appropriate preparation. She has control, AOE attacks, and single powerful spells. If you like the character, then by leveling up the Sorceress to level 56, you can get a luxurious awakened weapon - the Scythe, which will more than compensate for all the shortcomings and “roughness” of this class in Black Desert.

The Witch feels very good in PVP - the ability to quickly change her location can confuse the enemy, while the Sorceress will strike from the most unexpected direction. It is the Sorceress who can make an excellent pair for a duel with the practically invincible Archer; all other classes are most often easily inferior to the dark fury in a one-on-one battle.

However, Sorceresses also have a weak point - PVE. They have to farm painfully long and slowly, because... their attacks are not designed to quickly kill large “packs” of monsters. In addition, the low level of armor requires constant caution in battles with strong monsters, and the relatively small range does not allow you to evade attacks as successfully as the Archer can.

A variety of skill builds and ways to level up skills allow you to “customize” this class to suit your needs, choosing the style and combat tactics that suit a particular player.

Primary Weapon/Secondary Weapon/Awakened Weapon: Talisman/Amulet/Scythe

Overall impression of playing the Sorceress class in BlackDesert (based on my own experience, feedback and reviews): a beautiful class that delights with its flexibility, grace and excellent animation. Usually, if someone chooses the Sorceress as their main character, then he remains faithful to her. Although creating a Barbarian or Mystic as a twin for farming gold sometimes may not be the worst idea.

It is often said that the Sorceress suffers greatly as a class in PVE, but the use of mana pots, buffs and some special skills can practically eliminate this small drawback. In addition, with the appearance of the awakened Scythe in the hands of the Sorceress, this class begins to shine especially brightly, instantly dealing with even the most powerful monsters on the battlefield.

Who is the Witch suitable for?

• connoisseurs of beautiful animation and stylish, harmonious characters;
• sophisticated players who prefer to “fly” their fingers over the keyboard buttons like a pianist rather than endlessly press the same key;
• advanced players who are able to appreciate the potential of a complex and interesting class.
