Dungeons & Dragons Online offers a unique and refreshing take when it comes to battle. Known as the Active Combat system, fighting in DDO is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in an MMO. DDO gives you the ability to feel the action at your fingertips as your skill is truly tested! Monsters can see and hear you, adding entirely new elements to an already advanced system -- for no longer is combat relegated to simply pressing your number keys.Take part in strategic, tactical battles using a combination of collision mechanics and real-time combat. Take on the mantle of a well-armored fighter and protect your weaker companions by blocking incoming arrows or obstructing enemies in a narrow hallway. Use DDO’s Tumble feature to nimbly roll behind an enemy and attack them in the back before they have the opportunity to respond. Dodge incoming arrows and spells by stepping out of the way. Each click of your mouse allows you to swing your weapon, though you’ll need to make sure you’re close enough to the foe to hit it! Raising your shield deflects enemy blows. Hitting your adversary with an arrow requires aiming and precision, rather than just hitting a button and watching your character do all the work for you.
The DDO combat system has to be experienced to be understood. What are you waiting for? Try it now – sign up for a free account!
