==New Class Unlocked Description==

Time isn't a linear thing; it only appears to be. In truth it's a fabric, the very fabric that holds the universe together.
 +
 
 +
As with all great powers, there are those who seek to manipulate it and pervert it, but there are also those who seek to uphold rather than destroy.
 +
 
 +
Those who have learned to bend, rather than break, the fabric can keep the balance against dark or power-hungry forces.

You have been taught the ways of chronomancy by a Temporal Warden and can now create new characters with the Temporal Warden class.
 +
 
 +
Temporal Wardens are warriors proficient in both ranged and hand-to-hand combat. Class features:
 +
*Dual-wield a medium sized and a small weapon or attack from afar with your ranged weapon skills
 +
*Manipulate space and time to speed yourself up, create wormholes, or even throw an opponent into the future
 +
*See into the future or even travel into the past
  
−
Their study of chronomancy enables them to amplify their own physical and magical abilities, and to manipulate the speed of themselves and those around them.
+
Temporal Wardens use Paradox for their powers. It represents how much damage they've done to the spacetime continuum.
  
−
Their most important stats are: [[Strength]], [[Dexterity]], [[Willpower]], and [[Magic]]
+
The higher their paradox the greater the effect of their powers but the harder they'll be to control.

The Temporal Warden is a hybrid melee/ranged character with a few unique tricks up his sleeve. The class is unlocked in the [[Temporal Rift]] quest in [[Daikara]]. It is considered a spellcasting class (no [[Zigur]]), as it uses the [[Paradox]] resource for many of its talents.
+
−
 
+
−
The [[Celerity (talent)|Celerity]] skill allows them to switch between primary and secondary weapon sets instantaneously. They begin with a long sword and dagger in one set, and a bow in the other. This means the Temporal Warden can dish out ranged damage, and switch to melee weapons when monsters are adjacent, without penalty. Talents for improving both ranged and melee (dual-weapon) combat are available.
+
−
 
+
−
As with the [[Shadowblade]], one of the biggest challenges confronting this class is the sheer number of options available. The Temporal Warden benefits directly from investment in 5 out of the 6 stats (everything except [[Cunning]]), and has a large number of diverse talents. This allows players to choose a balanced hybrid approach, or to specialize in either ranged combat or dual-weapon combat. The Paradox/Magic talents serve as support for either style.
+
−
 
+
−
===Hybrid style===
+
−
In the early game, focus on [[Dexterity]]. This supports damage for both the longbow and the dagger, as well as giving you a boost to combat accuracy and defense. Focusing on [[Strength]] is less important, as you have [[Strength of purpose (talent)|Strength of Purpose]] to boost it for you.
+
−
 
+
−
Within the combat tree, spread points around. Remember that you get diminishing returns from deep investment in [[Weapons mastery (talent)|Weapons Mastery]] and [[Dagger mastery (talent)|Dagger Mastery]], so 1 point in each gives you more benefit than 2 points in either one, unless you decide to go with dual daggers later on. (Sticking with a non-dagger plus a dagger gives you a better variety of weapon choices. When the game gives you a lovely axe, you'll be able to use it.)
+
−
 
+
−
Likewise, stick a point or two into [[Bow mastery (talent)|Bow Mastery]] to boost ranged damage. At level 4 (or as soon after that as you can), take [[Piercing arrow (talent)|Piercing Arrow]] which gives you a beam attack.
+
−
 
+
−
On the melee side, use [[Dual strike (talent)|Dual Strike]] for your first stun, and take [[Flurry (talent)|Flurry]] at level 4 (or ASAP) for high melee damage.
+
−
 
+
−
===Paradox===
+
−
For the first 3 levels, you won't be doing much with [[Paradox]]. Just sustain [[Celerity (talent)|Celerity]], [[Weapon folding (talent)|Weapon Folding]] and [[Strength of purpose (talent)|Strength of Purpose]], and shoot and stab things.
+
−
 
+
−
Beginning at level 4, you get a plethora of utility talents across a wide spectrum of areas:
+
−
*Mobility ([[Swap (talent)|Swap]] and [[Dimensional step (talent)|Dimensional Step]])
+
−
*Defense ([[Probability weaving (talent)|Probability Weaving]])
+
−
*Restoration ([[Invigorate (talent)|Invigorate]])
+
−
*Debuffing ([[Stop (talent)|Stop]])
+
−
*Information ([[Deja vu (talent)|Deja Vu]])
+
−
 
+
−
Use of these non-sustained Paradox talents will increase your Paradox resource. This is both good and bad: good because it means many of your talents will become more powerful; bad because it can lead to anomalies. You also have talents available to reduce your Paradox resource down to safer levels.
+
−
 
+
−
===Important Notes===
+
−
* As of version 1.0.0, [[Precognition (talent)|Precognition]] is a bit buggy around the "return to regular timeline upon death" aspect, with some instances working properly and others giving the standard death procedure. If you Precog into a life-threatening situation, canceling the spell early (right-click its status icon) before dying can help avoid nasty surprises.
+
−
* [[Antimagic|Anti-Magicians]] can nullify the Precognition status despite it being listed as an "other:time" status and not specifically "magical." Regardless, if you spot an anti-magician while Precog scouting, you may want to consider canceling the ability early.

Temporal Warden is a class introduced in the base game. It must be unlocked by completing the quest "Back and Back and Back To The Future", which begins when you enter the Temporal Rift on the 3rd level of Daikara.

Locked Description

We preserve the past to protect the future.

The hands of time are guarded by the arms of war.

Description

Their lifelines braided, Temporal Wardens have learned to work with their other selves across multiple timelines.

Through their study of chronomancy, they learn to blend archery and dual-weapon fighting, seamlessly switching from one to the other.

Their most important stats are: Magic, Dexterity, and Willpower

New Class Unlocked Description

Time isn't a linear thing; it only appears to be. In truth it's a fabric, the very fabric that holds the universe together.

As with all great powers, there are those who seek to manipulate it and pervert it, but there are also those who seek to uphold rather than destroy.

Those who have learned to bend, rather than break, the fabric can keep the balance against dark or power-hungry forces.

You have been taught the ways of chronomancy by a Temporal Warden and can now create new characters with the Temporal Warden class.

Temporal Wardens are warriors proficient in both ranged and hand-to-hand combat. Class features:

  • Dual-wield a medium sized and a small weapon or attack from afar with your ranged weapon skills
  • Manipulate space and time to speed yourself up, create wormholes, or even throw an opponent into the future
  • See into the future or even travel into the past

Temporal Wardens use Paradox for their powers. It represents how much damage they've done to the spacetime continuum.

The higher their paradox the greater the effect of their powers but the harder they'll be to control.

Starting Equipment

  • Elm Longbow
  • Quiver of Elm Arrows
  • Rough Leather Armor
