TERA : Slayer PvE & PvP Preview

We spent some time playing TERA's Slayer during this last beta weekend and we're sharing our thoughts on both the PvE and PvP experiences we had!

While there are two two-handed wielding classes in the game, the Slayer and the Berserker, they function a bit differently. The Slayer wears light armor and mitigates damage by rolling out of the way, while the 'Zerker utilizes charge-up attacks, wears heavy armor, and will have to physically block damage with his weapon. I played the 'Zerker at GDC and while I found its AOE mayhem fun, I wasn't too fond of the charge-up mechanic, so I opted for the Slayer this time, and I'm glad for it! It's a nimble class that packs a serious wallop, but it just can't take it as well as a 'Zerker might be able to. That's fine; most enemies couldn't really land a hit!
