K2 Network has revealed new information on the Elementalist Class that players will be able to take control of in Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

K2 Network today revealed new screen shots and exciting new details on the unique stances of the Elementalist Class from its upcoming massively multi-player online role-playing adventure, Sword of the New World: Granado Espada. Drawing their power from the natural elements: fire, ice and lightning, the Elementalist is one of the best damage dealers in the game. Scheduled for release this summer, Sword of the New World: Granado Espada is the only MMORPG to allow players to simultaneously control three distinct characters with its multi-character control (MCC).

The Elementalist

The Elementalist draws from three natural elements: fire, ice and lightning. There are also three tiers of stances, each tier more powerful than the previous one: the first level is possession; the second level is evocation; and the third level is domination. Additionally, there is a Lord stance where all three elements are combined, and this class also offers elemental resistance buffs. As we explored Sword of the New World, we quickly realized the importance of AOE (area of effect) skills. With 10 stances and 36 skills, the elementalist has many AOE attacks, and is one of the best damage dealers in the game.
