Doomsayer

“ Through the long history of Aerynth, the Children of the Gods have ever been loath to worship the Dark Lords of the Pit. The Archmages of the Deathless Empire learned their ways and names in the Age of Dawn before Time's beginning, but offered them pacts and bargains instead of worship. It was not until the Hordes walked upon Aerynth in the War of the Scourge that the Dark Lords won their first mortal converts. Some turned to Chaos to bargain for their survival, others were driven mad by horror or despair. In a time when many felt the Gods of Aerynth had failed them, the Dark Lords' call was irresistible. By the war's end, cults of Chaos had sprung up, each centered around a prophet, a Doomsayer who strove to bring Kolaur's curse upon the All-Father's children. As hideous as the Hordes of Chaos were in battle, time and again the Grand Alliance found its efforts hampered by traitors within their own ranks, devotees of Chaos who received their orders through the mouths of Doomsayers. ” - Doomsayer Lore		Doomsayer  Devotee of Chaos

Overview The Doomsayer is a support class focused on the aural arts to bolster his group. His melodies, redes, and songs harmonize into a symphony that will invigorate the most meager of allies. He can increase resistances, stats, and regeneration rates while also dispelling effects and applying potent crowd control through his various powers. His ballads can even make his allies impervious to damage and effects.

Playstyle Tips Doomsayers are the premiere support class; however, a group rarely benefits from more than one. Because of this, the Doomsayer will often find himself as a high-priority target and must evade enemy onslaughts while supporting his group. Fights are often won or lost on the back of the Doomsayer power so, despite its image, this class is not for the faint of heart. Healer Between Shielding, Anthem of Avoidance, defensive stance, the resistance songs, and resistance enchantments your gear it is very possible, and encouraged, to get extraordinarily high resistances on a Mage Doomsayer. Keeping yourself stun immune via prestunning is vital! One landed stun, if it is not immediately dispelled, is likely to be your death. You can keep yourself stun immune with Mage's Stun power by recasting it on yourself while the immunity is still up, thus refreshing your immunity. Keeping up your melodies, redes, and songs can be pretty passive so, in addition to debuff stripping with Mighty Countersong, a good Mage Doomsayer can also handle tossing out crowd control onto targets and keeping high-value debuffs, like Shadowmantle, buried on a target with Weakening and Enfeeblement. Mage They are normally outclassed by their Mage counterparts in large group fights but Dodge, light armor, and high defense can make Mage Doomsayers potent in smaller fights. Take advantage of that in your builds. Some people build them more offensively, and the power rank for various weapons allows them to be pretty potent in a fight. With these type of builds, an effective strategy is to use Countersong to slowly strip your opponent's buffs away. Although one would normally not think this the case, Mage Doomsayers are less tanky than their Mage counterparts so it is vital that you keep debuffs off of you that negate the defenses and mobility you do have such as defense debuffs, exposes, and crowd control effects. Be judicious with your Mighty Countersong.
