NCsoft Reveals Aion Scout Class Details

The Aion scout archetype branches off into either the Assassin or Ranger class. This week NCsoft sent us a few screenshots of these two classes in action. and a brief description of both.

The Ranger

Rangers are experienced Scouts who have shunned the idea of working within a regular military unit, choosing instead to work alone or in specialist teams. They are solitary figures with finely honed survival instincts and the ability to endure even in the harshest of environments. Regarding their weaponry, Rangers are expert archers, and can set traps in anticipation of an oncoming enemy. Trained in the use of daggers, so are able to engage in combat regardless of the enemy’s proximity.

The Assassin

Assassins are a mysterious class. It is clear that these men and women are valuable characters indeed, able to strike silently and with devastating consequences at vulnerable targets, effectively bringing down whole groups with a single action. Whispers and rumor say they follow no god, and instead follow the star of death for instruction. Assassins themselves are fairly weak, and when prematurely discovered, rarely survive the inevitable consequences.
