How Wild Star Combat,Controls, and Abilities work ?

Wild Star has a very similar combat system to most MMORPGs,except for the fact that it is placed in a whole new environment and takes more skill rather than just hitting an ability and dealing damage based off of your gear.There are several roles that needs to be filled for each successful group to have a chance at defeating some of the strongest monsters in the game,Here is your own personal guide to the combat system in Wild Star.

There are rewards for obtaining kill streaks.You can dash and double dash during combat using double tap, which is crucial for avoiding attacks and effects.You can sprint by holding SHIFT. Sprint and double dash use a resource similar to stamina that’s shown on-screen in a circle and will eventually deplete.You can also double jump, which can be handy for avoiding stuff and for getting around quick.Loot falls like a loot pinata kind of, all around your character (I keep thinking of Kingdom Hearts for some reason…). You can hit V to suck it all to your character.

Telegraphed abilities are a huge part of the game. Think of these as the big red circles that are common in most MMOs currently. You’ll want to get out of red ones, but stay in green ones. Red are enemy/environment AoE damage/crowd control effects, green are heal effects from other players. Blue effects are your own and work nicely on some attacks for AoE farming, etc. Telegraph attacks also serve as a good way to communicate with party members about what you’re going to do next.

There are lots of dangerous telegraphed abilities out in the wild (and even more in raids, dungeons, etc.). Some are environmental hazards, others are from enemies. You’re rewarded for dodging them and interrupting with bonus XP and special buffs that help you even further. You’re also rewarded in the form of Fervor, which is a buff that makes you extra strong and extra fast, which in turn allows you to score kill streaks easier.WildStar powerleveling become the most important for u to do at beginning of the  game.

Characters can equip shields which act like a temporary source of damage reduction.Most abilities use skillshots (think League of Legends) instead of standard targeting mechanics. Healers will also utilize skillshots and will never have to only focus on the UI while healing.Racial abilities will be in place, but they seem passive in nature and may only effect the costs of other abilities and similar ideas.
