Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

With the rise of co-op multiplayer and action RPGs, fans are eagerly anticipating the long awaited action MMORPG, Mythos. Hardly able to contain ourselves at the thought of dungeon-crawling for fun and profit, Ten Ton Hammer talked to Demian Moreno, Redbana’s Mythos Community Manager. Demian Moreno gave us details about the long range, death-dealing, bomb-using, bad-ass Gadgeteer class as well as the Marksman skill tree.

Ten Ton Hammer: Can you give us a quick background on the Gadgeteer class?

Demian Moreno: Gadgeteers are masters of ranged combat, dealing insane amounts of damage at long range. They can summon multiple gadgets to wreak havoc on enemies or enhance their own combat abilities. They can also master the creation of bombs and traps, dealing large amounts of AOE damage or disabling large groups of enemies.

Ten Ton Hammer: Do any of their traits make them suitable for any particular role, say a tank or DPS?

Demian Moreno: Gadgeteers are primarily heavy damage dealers. They also have several skills that allow them to disable and control their enemies. They have a few options to increase their survivability but are generally frail, so I don't suggest trying to play them as tanks! If you enjoy taking enemies down before they have a chance to lay a finger on you and enjoy having a large selection of weapons and pets, then this is the class for you.

Ten Ton Hammer: Gadgeteers have gadgets as pets. Do these have any advantages over a Bloodletter or Pyromancer’s pets?

Demian Moreno: Gadgeteers have the largest selection of pets of any class. All of their pets have very short casting times which makes it easier to summon your army of minions at a moment's notice. All of the Gadgeteer pets have a limited duration though, so part of the strategic fun for this class is knowing when to summon your pets and keeping the right distance from your enemies.

Ten Ton Hammer: So you’ve now revealed the Marksman skill tree for the Gadgeteer. What is the focus of this skill tree and how does it empower Gadgeteers?

Demian Moreno: The Marksman tree is all about guns. No other skill tree in the game offers so many ways to modify and enhance your ranged weapons' damage. Marksman skills can increase your guns' range, damage, and rate of fire, or even add stun, pierce rows of enemies, cause AOE fire damage, ricochet off of walls, poison enemies and fire multiple bullets. It is a ton of fun to shoot off a hail of bullets and find monsters dying off screen from your various effects!

This skill tree can be both challenging and rewarding because so much of your damage output relies on your gear. It is easy to grab a skill or two from another tree to increase your survivability, or better yet bring a friend along that can help provide some cover so you can fully unleash pain on your enemies.

Ten Ton Hammer: How will the Marksman skill tree help Gadgeteers in terms of solo adventuring and group runs?

Demian Moreno: Marksman solo well by learning to position themselves in combat. Getting surrounded by enemies is not a situation that a Marksman wants to be in. This applies to both solo and group combat. A Marksman that is able to shoot with impunity is a dangerous adversary that any team will be glad to have at their backs. With the right combination of skills they are well equipped to deal with either hordes of enemies or tough, high health targets.
