Healers – A Healers role is to keep people from death, by healing them and preventing damage being done to them. They are the ones that take the most damage, but make up for it with lots of Health and Defense (reduces the damage that enemies do to you). Tanks – A tank’s job is to get the attention of all the enemies in an area and keep them from attacking your allies. In DCUO they have another class called a Controller-they provide the ‘power’ or ‘mana’ to the group and deliver de-buffs(reducing the amount of health a character receives, among some other things) These powers are Light, Mental and Gadgets.Īll these powers play differently, but every power can double as a DPS! For those of you who are new to MMO’s and would like to delve into the MMO basket here’s a brief description of what each class essentially does You can unlock the other powers either by buying the DLC packs, or becoming a Legendary and getting access to all of them among other things.ĭCUO is just like any other MMO, there is a Tank (Earth, Fire, and Ice), and a Healer (Electricity, Nature, and Sorcery) and then there are your Damage dealers or DPS (Earth, Fire, Ice, Electricity, Nature, Sorcery, Gadgets, Mental, and Light). There are a total of 9 powers, but only 6 if you are Free to play. This will impact your quests and starting area, also it will give you access to certain quests that other characters wouldn’t get because they don’t have that same mentor. After you’ve done all that you must choose your Mentor, there are 3 mentors’ for each faction Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman for the heroes and The Joker, Lex Luthor and Circe for the villains. Superman, Batman, Bane, The Joker, Flash, etc! Well if you choose to create your own character you choose your Morality (are you a Hero or are you a Villain?!) and a personality that suits you! As a note your personality will be how your character stands when he is not moving, and dictates how he will look and function. In this menu you can choose either to completely build your character or choose a superhero or villain to model after i.e. This is just who or what you want your character to resemble maybe you want to be a giant brawling menace? Or perhaps you want to be a Hulk look-a-like? There are a total of 6 builds(3 Male and 3 Female) and 3 different sizes for those 3 builds. When you make your first character there are some things you should note You can’t change your gender in any point later on but everything else is changeable after character creation, though for some things such as Power Type, Movement Mode, Build, Personality and Initial Weapon. PVE means Player-versus-environment and just means that only NPC’s can attack and kill you, the only way other players can kill you is through a duel or doing PVP! This is the best way to level because you can focus on learning your character and skills, which afterwards you can jump into the PVP realm and wreak some havoc! Unless of course you think you can take em’ on! If you’re leveling a character I strongly advise you to not start on this realm because you can become the victim of ganking (groups of players of the opposite faction killing you randomly) among other things. PVP just means Player-versus-Player and you can attack any other play at anytime, and they can attack you at anytime. You can always switch between the two realms by going through the Phase Shifter at your factions headquarters The Watchtower for heroes and The Hall of Doom for villains. There are two realms for DCUO (for PS3 at least) the PVP, and PVE realm. The player can find quests in these areas as well, and go back to do old missions you’ve skipped, or just to rack up skill points. You can visit these cities at anytime and they hold the entrances to many hideouts, clubs, and police stations where you can meet other players. Now in the game you can roam and quest in these zones all you want. Gotham is where Batman and his associated superheroes and villains reside. Now I don’t know my DC lore too well but Metropolis is the city where Superman and associated heroes and villains reside (mainly). In DC there are two major worlds that you will be questing and exploring in Metropolis and Gotham. I’m a new addition to the Play Legit crew, and hope to provide you guys with some guides, tips and preview/reviews in the future! I hope this gives you some insight to the DCUO, and MMO genre!
