Quoted from "Spunky"

The Allods Team, Obsidian Entertainment and My.com are excited to announce the first Skyforge Technical Beta Weekend beginning on Thursday, November 13th!

The technical beta weekend is a “technical test” in that the purpose of the beta will be to test Skyforge’s core systems such as server infrastructure, client distribution system, login services and more. Therefore, we are only inviting a relatively small number of players to participate in this phase of testing to ensure that our core systems are operational, fully functional and able to withstand the stress of many players all logging into the game simultaneously.

In addition to the tests, we will also be looking to the community to provide us with feedback about a number of features in the game including the Divine Observatory, Ascension Atlas, character classes, combat, quests & adventures and more.

Beta invites should be headed out early next week, so keep an eye on your email inboxes and remember to check your junk mail folders just in case!




The Technical Beta Weekend will begin on November 13 and end on November 16, however; players who are invited to participate will be able to download and install the client starting on November 11 - giving them a two day window to get ready for the beta. This way players will be able to jump into the game as soon as the servers are opened!

Remember, this is a closed technical beta test, with a limited number of players, and if you aren’t invited to participate that doesn’t mean you won’t be invited to participate in the future beta tests. We are purposely keeping this test limited to a low number of players.

Keep an eye on your inboxes and make sure you visit Skyforge.com regularly to stay on top of all the closed beta test news and announcements!

The Paladin!

Basic abilities:

Righteous Blow Righteous Blow (LMB) - The Paladin attacks the enemy with a sword and inflicts minor damage. First strike in a series of basic attacks.

Waves of Wrath Waves of Wrath (RMB) - This ability needs to be charged and can be activated by holding down the mouse button. The character swings his sword in a circle, hitting several enemies at once and knocking them off their feet. The weaker the opponent, the longer they will stay down.


The following series of attacks (combos) are based on those two basic abilities:

Seal of Light Seal of Light (LMB+RMB) - The Paladin swings his sword crosswise, inflicting moderate damage to the target and all enemies in the line behind it.

Punishing Bolt Punishing Bolt (LMB+LMB+LMB) - The Paladin sword deals a powerful downward strike. On Holy Ground the target will be struck by lightning and the attack will inflict increased damage.

Justice Blade Justice Blade (LMB+LMB+LMB+LMB) - After Righteous Blow, the Paladin does three quick strikes with the sword, each dealing more damage than the previous one.

Divine Scourge Divine Scourge (LMB+LMB+LMB+RMB) - On the fourth hit, the character jumps in the air and deals a downward blow, accompanied by lightning that strikes several targets. If the paladin is affected by Celestial Shield (one of the defensive skills), the shield explodes, inflicting additional damage. On Holy Ground or when righteous anger is used, the radius and the force of the attack increase.



Other abilities:

Holy Ground Holy Ground - The Paladin sanctifies the ground around him and gains inexhaustible power. While Holy Ground is active, character skills do not consume righteous anger even outside its borders.

Aegis of Light Aegis of Light - The character raises his shield in the air. A bright beam of light strikes it, making the character invulnerable and immune to control effects for some time.

Radiant Aspect Radiant Aspect (special ability) - The Paladin calls upon divine power, rising into the skies and shaking off all negative effects. A moment later, he strikes nearby enemies, knocking them down and inflicting massive damage. The character becomes temporarily immune to control effects, his attacks inflict increased damage and all incoming damage is reduced. Once the attack is activated, Holy Ground appears next to the Paladin.

We have listed just a few of Paladin's abilities. In the future you will find a detailed list and description of all Paladin abilities in a special section on our website.



The main feature of this class is a large number of defensive skills that include the removal of negative effects and resistance to control. The Paladin's abilities do not end there: some of them massively increase damage; others make monsters focus on him. He can also control his enemies, stun them and knock them down, slow down and even immobilize them. Unlocked talents will multiply your damage, restore health and increase your movement speed. All of these abilities can be used to create various combinations that will best suit your style of play. But bare in mind that the potential of the "tank" class should be tested out in group play. A good combination of passive and active skills will help heroes and their allies emerge victorious from the most dangerous fights.

The Paladin is one of the most durable and hardy classes in the game. Temporary invincibility will help him escape from seemingly hopeless situations and turn the tide of battle. When things go really badly, the hero sanctifies the ground around him and gains the ability to use any skill without spending "righteous anger." For continuous DPS, a Paladin must be near his target. He can either draw the fleeing enemy to himself or dash towards them knocking them down. The attacks of this class are not the strongest, but they are not the Paladin's only weapon. His primary task is to draw enemies' attention to himself and let his teammates or his high survivability do the rest.



The Paladin will be picked by those who want be at the forefront, in the midst of battle, and not hiding behind someone's back. Who will rush into the thick of battle, shielding his allies, and take the first hit. Players that choose the Paladin often become the leaders of the group, because it is usually up to them to decide when and how how they are going to lead their allies to victory!
