Talebound Guide Talebound Talent Calculator
Talebound brings a new type of challenge to players, with the only other real attempt at rogue-like content being Torghast in Shadowlands. From the previews of the content, though, the two couldn't be more different, and you'll want to look at all your options to see what class you want to try out first.
Keep in mind, these abilities are taken from Blizzard's blog on Talebound, and are subject to change before launch.
The Slayer is a monster hunter, welding both sword and gun.
Abilities:
Slash: a sequence of three attacks that damage enemies directly in front of you, with higher damage and stun on the final blow. In Talebound, lesser enemies flinch when attacked, making for dynamic combat.
Explosive Shot: Fire your shotgun at enemies in front of you. Closer foes take damage from multiple shots. Empower this ability to deal greater damage.
Minefield: Allows you to leap backward and hurl an arc of mines in front of you. These mines inflict damage and slow your enemies.
The Inquisitor is a ranged wielder of the light.
Purify: A sequence of three attacks that damage enemies in front of you, each strike more powerful than the last.
Condemn: Damages enemies in front of you, inflicting holy damage and reducing their movement speed. Crucially, it is castable while moving.
Denounce: An empowered ability that inflicts more damage the longer you stand and forces enemies to confess.
The Witch employs natural forces and shape-shifting.
The Witch uses lightning, poison, spiders, moonlight, thorns, and ravens to overwhelm enemies with a darker, spell-driven style.
Brewing Storm: A sequence of three attacks that inflict lightning damage, with the last strike dealing more serious damage.
Bubbling Cauldron: Summons a plague of frogs from your cauldron. Frogs leap to a random enemy and explode, inflicting poisonous damage in a small area.
Feline Communion: Transforms you into a cat for a short time. While in this form, a shower of stars inflicts damage to all nearby enemies, and you may cast Crooked Path to blink forward, escaping through moonlight.
