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 capable of sowing discord into any battle. His connection with Chaos allows him to strip enemies of their boons, fetter their mental fortitude, and drain the very essence from their corporeal forms. The Doomsayer's incantations can also strike one blind from madness or sap his enemy's very will to defend himself. For his allies, the Doomsayer can share his visions of bedlam with his allies to his enhance their powers.

Playstyle Tips The Doomsayer is arguably the single most dangerous character on the field so he must always be on the move. You have the ability to devour the mana pool for any given support character as well as completely incapacitate any given character with his debuffs. As such, he is usually the very first target in any fight, even before the Assassin, Bard, or Priest. Your ability to judge when to stick a drain or land one of your debilitating debuffs is what will forge your success with the class. Healer Your class heal is not worth training. It is highly recommended that you supplement the healing from your drain spells with Blessed Mending and Blessed Healing. There are many ways to build a character but it is objectively wrong to not use a shield with a Healer Doomsayer. If you don't want to use a shield with your Doomsayer, then go Mage. Otherwise, you will be getting rid of one of the biggest advantages of your base class. You can keep Vengeance of the Pit on up to two people. It may be tempting to offset your rather unimpressive offensive stance by using it on yourself but don't forget about your other support players. They can keep you alive way better than any drain that hits 30% harder can. Mage You are eschewing passive defense for some of the highest sustain in the game. It is imperative that once you become the target in a battle that you do not stop moving until you are out of harm's way. Don't think as though you are not contributing to the fight as you are much more valuable to your team alive than dead. With your offensive stance and Vengeance of the Pit, you can devour the mana of most players within moments. Don't compromise your safety to do so but if you can destroy the mana of an enemy Healer then that is usually a big enough advantage to win the fight. Even without Blessed Mending as an alternative, it is still advisable to consider not training your class heals. They are really that bad.
