I think it will be hyped but not even close to Artist. I think there was a very very vocal portion of the community that wanted to play support that wanted Artist. While Aeromancers visuals are super neat its very much another mage and seems to have a swift reflux feel to it. At the end of the day its “another dps” I think there were alot more people wanting to support then people thought there was and a high demand for artist.
I’ve seen a large amount of 1500+ artists day one on my server, and while yes there are many sitting at 1460 or so having a huge influx of support coming in definitely is the exact opposite of what everyone seemingly claimed would happen.
I’ll be making an Aeromancer when it’s released also, because both Artist and Aero have pretty interesting gameplay. I’ll continue playing Bard & Artist meanwhile.
Everything about them for me. I always play short/small races in MMOs (looks like I’m going faster + can see more) and the brush-effect aesthetics just looked absolutely incredible.
Aeromancer is small, but I haven’t looked into their toolkit enough to say if I’m excited. I know they use an umbrella and I think a sword? And use weather elements.
If it’s a sorceress AYAYA then that’s a good baseline (prev main before artist was a sorc,) but it needs to be something more…which may be an obvious point.
She will be my main. I have checked already in RU and the way to play her changed my life ;). Hahaha.
Hope AGS release Aeromancer in may or june. Later will be a suicide, imho :(.
She Will be SUPER POPULAR, first DPS AYAYA! Can’t put a price on that, and she is fun to play witch is a plus. If I can’t make my arcana work by then I will be main swapping!
Very much looking forward to it. Couldnt care less that it is a Specialist, the same applied to Artist, but i wont skip her since fighting with the umbrella looks fun.
However I hope there will be another story express for her, mostly because I skipped it this time since my Bonker was pretty much geared and ready to go once he hit 1445, so the sooner the better
Aeromancer I’ll be gathering some things for a bit, plus books and no engraving pieces, so getting her leveled up ASAP isn’t too much of a big deal
