Lord Raijin & Class Revamp on 6/6/20!!! (Patreon)

Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking!

It's that time of the month and this very special update is one that we are especially proud of. No sense in wasting time so lets get right into it. On SATURDAY JUNE 6TH we are BEYOND EXCITED to debut our in depth CLASS REVAMP which completely changes up the gameplay for the Tank, Assassin, Healer and Sorceress classes. Our goal was to make each class feel and play differently and we have to say gameplay is so much fun with these new classes. In short, the walk, run and sprint running animations are now unique for each class along with primary melee skills being completely redone and unique for each class.

Newly added class specific melee skills include Berserker (Tank Melee Skill), Shadow Dancer (Assassin Melee Skill), Divine Justice (Healer Melee Skill) and Dark Passenger (Sorceress Melee Skill). These updates provide a very unique feel allowing players to change up with different classes depending on their mood in terms of gameplay. You'll find more details on the class revamp and much more in the patch notes listed below.

Along with the new class revamp we are also excited to reveal the next Outfit Skin coming to League of Maidens. Welcome LORD RAIJIN! This outfit will be our first outfit to serve a dual purpose as it will also be used to feature our first of (6) Mid-Bosses which will be added to Strongholds in 1.4.7a.

These are just two of the many changes coming in this update. A new Dramatic Mode and Isometric mode have also been added along with many other features, bug fixes and improvements.

We want to take the time to THANK EVERY SINGLE SUBSCRIBER of Maiden+. Without you none of these amazing improvements would be possible and we are SO VERY THANKFUL for your continued support which enables us to keep this amazing project going. THANK YOU!!!

List below.  Chronicle Difficulty - (1) Minimum Enemy. Artifact Difficulty - (2) Minimum Enemies. Legendary Difficulty - (4) Minimum Enemies.(edited) Mythic Difficulty - (6) Minimum Enemies.

93 - In an effort to make the Healer Class more fun we are trying a new system which will be a baked in passive ability for the class called "Life Stream". With this baked in (nothing needs to be equipped to enabled this passive) every time the Healer deals damage with will absorb a percentage of the HP lost from the enemies taking damage. This passive ability or "Life Stream" will apply to ALL damage dealing skills equipped by the Healer Class. This is a bit of a radical move on the class but we are excited to see how it works and if it will make the class unique and fun to play. We're always up for trying something new and look forward to your take on the idea!
