Warrior / Bard / Druid (Launch Plan)
Krause's declared launch-day build — Ogre (shrunken) Warrior with Bard AoE songs and Druid heals/ports/buffs. Cleave + damage shield + songs pack-grinder. Note: 1H blunt cleave is currently bugged.
Overview
Documented from Krause's live stream during July 2026 open beta (post-July-14 patch). Compiled guide, not an official write-up. Warrior-vs-Paladin decided for Warrior on stream. Ogre (shrunken).
AoE-pull leveling build and the creator's declared launch-day build. AoE pulling with Warrior Cleave on packs, damage shield doing constant work, Bard AoE songs layered over the top, Druid for heals, ports, and buffs (chloroplast regen).
Known cleave bug: one-hand blunt weapons do not cleave — run a slasher or piercer. Two-handers noted as strong on this server (fewer damage-shield reflects than dual wield).
