Read on for a first look at the Blazebinder Class skills. Testers are currently running it through its paces, so the numbers listed below may change.

There are two ways to unlock Blazebinder Class:

• Buy it immediately for 2000 AdventureCoins
• Buy it for gold if you meet the requirements: Rank 10 Embersea Reputation, Rank 10 Pyromancer Class, and Rank 10 Necromancer Class.

Why Choose Blazebinder Class?
Blazebinder is a tier 2 class (the first since original Doomknight), and has more base power under the hood to begin with, since it has such high requirements. It also requires a more thought and strategy to use well, too.

You've got a guaranteed crit on Combustion Blaze, which is awesome because hey - you know you're guaranteed to do damage! But it's also used as a form of damage control; the set value stops oerly-massive spike damage from crits and lets us give the class higher base power without having to worry about excessively-high crit hits unbalancing the game.

Once you unlock the Blazebinder Class, begin ranking it up to unlock additional Blazebinder gear:

• Blazebinder Armor
• Helms
• Weapons
• Capes
• and Pets!

Class Notes
Choking Shadow Smoke and Fire In Your Skin are carefully crafted around each other. Firstly, burning ward is something pvping players are not fond of because of the potential power, however for Burning Ward to work your opponent actually has to be able to hit you.

Fire In Your Skin can stop your opponents hitting you, thus stopping reflected damage. Essentially it’s to encourage the idea that just because you can loop something does not mean you should. This combination allows more strategic players to weigh up whether they want to loop Choking Shadow Smoke or alternate between Fire In Your Skin and Choking Shadow Smoke.

You'll want to use Wizard Enhancements with this Class. Int is your best friend with this hot number, but End and Wis will also work. All three of those beat out Luck, Dex, and Str when it comes to enhancements.

Thoughts/Opinions on this class? I think it's pretty strong.. might actually go with some luck enhancements
