Anxious to get an inside look at developing DDO Unlimited’s newest class, the artificer? In this artificer-focused Q&A Dev Diary, Lead Game Systems Designer Steve Muray and Web Content Developer Kyle Horner discuss things like homunculus dogs, “pew pew” and crab hands. Oh, and there’s also information about artificer development, too.

Kyle Horner: When the team began development on the artificer class, what was your goal?

Steve Muray: The artificer was always intended to be a hybrid class, but we also wanted one inherently good at non-spellcasting ranged combat. We also wanted the class to have competent DPS (damage per second). Of course, artificer DPS isn’t as high as barbarian, but artificers make up for that with support spells and construct healing.

We pitched our thoughts on the directions we were considering to WotC and they sent back some fantastic concept art. There was one of an artificer with leather straps covered with magic scrolls and vials — almost exactly what you see in the character generator now. Later on, the Rune Arm took form when they sent us a picture of an artificer charging up his magical bracer, getting ready to blast us with arcane power.

Kyle: It looks great, too. Good call.

Steve: Yeah, and the Rune Arm More >
