YESSS!! We have our first thief in the new Alpha build!At the basic job levels, they slash (below), 
they slam-down (below), 
I never quite got the hang of the funny Gas-Attack though. (You literally poison your enemies with a timely fart so they turn green and continue to take damage while you run off to a safe distance.)Plus, you actually get higher gold-drops per kill if you upgrade your "steal gold from enemies" skill.
But upgrade to a second level job, and you get THIS. 
The Assassin(-to-Ninja) job-line (above) is more popular and specializes in sneaky, poison-laced slash tactics. If you remember the 2D art in a previous post, they also wield the meanest-looking katar blades and are gifted with auto-Dodge and -Block skills, as well as some nifty burrowing and "disappear-and-reappear-behind-your-enemy" moves.
This time round, I decided to feature the Jester instead.
Discount them at your loss. I quickly realized that the Jesters were the melee-attack specialists of the Thief class. Instead of slash-n-dodge tactics, it features multi-hit crowd-clearing attacks (here's where the speed is, people...) like the vertical-spin below, as well as the reassuringly-high HP of all the Thief classes.
"What the-??" you say...Okay, here it is again.
Farrel never stood a chance.
I am SO going back to pwn Lavalon.

I have a few advanced play questions for you, Kaye.
The first is:
How does poison work in this game? Does it do a set amount of damage per tic, for example you poison a mob, it takes 40 damage every 1 second for the duration of the poison? Or does it take away a set percentage of life away during it's duration, for example you poison a mob and it loses 2% of it's max life every tic.
The second question:
Can poison be stacked more than once on a particular mob for enhanced effect? I hit the mob with a poison attack that does 40 damage every 1 second, I hit it again with the same attack, does it take 80 damage per second now?
My third and final question:
Does poison damage affect combo status? For example, I hit a mob with a poisoning attack, I now have 1 combo. I walk away from the mob, and the poison damage tics, will I now have a combo of 2? Granted that the poison tic happens before the combo timer runs out.
still a bit lost about the 2nd job...
soo are u saying.. ninja one... is poison?...
and jester is more of aoe?...
also another question XD...
all class can do aoe attacks??...
if so.. which class is most effective in aoe?...
The Assassin (2nd lvl) upgrades to Ninja (3rd lvl), and is the poison/dodge/invisi class.
The Jester (2nd lvl) upgrades to Gambit (3rd), and is the crowd-clearance/multi-hit/tank class.
I'll give u more info comparing the 2 classes in an upcoming post. Suffice to say it was darned cool to party 2 2nd-lvl thieves together!
WHOO THIEF! TY KAYE!! :):):):):):)
:D
AND ALL OTHER PRODUCTION WORKERS!!!
TY 2! :D
cool!!! i initially wanted to be an assain.. but i've just been convinced to become a jester.... the 3rd job name, "gambit" sounds just as nice or maybe cooler than "ninja", but its rather strange... the thief class is not usually the tanker class,its suppossed to be the warriors,do the warriors have only medocore health? if so, is it on purpose??
i am addicted even before it's released <_<
dang...i am almost desperate..rofl
In most MMOs that i have played in my life i have leaned towards archer. but after reading this article about the thief... i am storting to show some interest in that direction
@qwerty
I'm just loosely calling them Tanks because at the basic job level, Thieves in Dragonica are slower than Warriors and have higher HP, which makes them hardier as Tanks. But after you change jobs, they start to morph. The 'ssins and jesters are still hardy, but they're anything but slow.
(Of course, I've yet to check out the Warrior-class Knights and Gladiators, and I suspect they have their own style of pwnage!)
@jesse
That temptation will probably last until you start exploring the Archer's 2nd-Level (Ranger/Hunter)
classes!
I bet you can all tell already... Choosing/Exploring classes and jobs is going to be one of the pleasurable-pains of Dragonica.
Quote: Hi guys, English Dragonica is being developed at the moment, and I see some of you have found the Dragonica CM blog!
In any case, the official English Dragonica forum will be launched soon, so everyone who's interested in trying the game can meet and discuss it there.
*cut short*
Cheers!
