Other changes

• Archers and Mages now have the same defense as Knights ONLY while power training

---

---

Aggro

New mechanic called 'Aggro', you may be already familiar with this mechanic from other games, is very simple the higher your aggro the more likely a monster will decide to attack you over other players, aggro can be increased by equipping certain armors, helmets and shields, and the minimum aggro a character has is 4, 3, and 2 for knight, archer and mage respectively.

Parry

The parry mechanic has existed since Rucoy launched, in other games parrying means to completely block an attack, in Rucoy when you parry you can still receive damage but much less than without a parry, the way it works is once per second you can parry an attack using 100% of your defense and all subsequent attacks for that second use only 50% of your defense.

Double Shield

You can now equip a secondary shield on your sword slot, this second shield doesn't increase your defense, it adds a second parry per second, when you get hit your first parry will use your primary shield to block and your second parry will use your secondary shield. While 2 shields are equipped and knight class is active you can't attack monsters or players but you can still target them and your character will follow them as usual. You can receive defense skill experience if your teammates are dealing damage to monsters.

Double Shield Special

This special ability replaces the knight's sword special when 2 shields are equipped, it has 2 effects, first it makes all near monsters target you and second it adds 2 extra parries for 1 second meaning you can parry up to 4 attacks per second when using this special ability. You will receive melee experience for every monster that targets you (up to 4) if your teammates are dealing damage. It has a cost of 50 mana points and a 1 second cooldown.

Air Slash Special

This special ability adds a distance attack to knights, it sends a air shock wave at your target or at the closest possible target if no target is selected. It's damage is the same as the regular sword special, it uses your melee skill not your distance skill, range is the same as archer's range. It has a cost of 50 mana points and a 1.5 seconds cooldown.

Haste Special

This special ability allows archers to increase their speed and the speed of their teammates for a few seconds, speed increases by 50 speed points, duration of this effect depends on your bow attack, your distance skill and your base level. The effect of this ability can't be stacked. Duration is shorter during PvP battles. It has a cost of 100 mana points and 2 seconds cooldown.

Magic Wall Special

This special ability allows mages to place a magic wall on the world, monsters and players participating in PvP can't walk through this magic wall, projectiles can pass through magic walls, magic walls can't be placed where there is a player, a monster or another magic wall, the duration of this wall depends on you wand attack, your magic skill and your base level. It has a cost of 200 mana points and a 3 seconds cooldown. There are 2 types of magic walls PvE and PvP magic walls, PvP magic walls have a shorter duration, are smaller and will disappear if the caster isn't near.
