Mechanic: Lore and the Tome of Courage
The Lorekeeper is a guardian of ancient lore and lost knowledge, utilizing archaic magical practices in revolutionary ways. With history written and kept whole within their Tome of Courage, they call upon spellpower thought lost to the passages of time to support their allies and smite their enemies.
The Lorekeeper has a new resource called Lore, which they generate up to 10 stacks of by activating their Virtues or through other means available by Trait Choices in their Specialization line. Lore stacks do not degenerate over time in PvE, but has a 30s duration in PvP.
Lore stacks are used in order to cast powerful spells from their Tome of Courage, which can be opened at any time by pressing F4. There’s no cooldown on the Tome itself, but every spell within requires a set amount of Lore to cast. In return, each individual spell has relatively short Cooldown.
Weapon: Two-handed Dagger
I know what you’re thinking: “Two-handed dagger? How’s that supposed to work out?”
The Lorekeeper doesn’t hold both hands on the dagger, of course. That’d be silly. No, instead, when equipped with a Dagger, the Lorekeeper also equips another ethereal tome, hovering before their Off-hand slot, the Lesser Tome of Wrath. Their weapon skills mixes the Dagger’s quick strikes with magical barrages, focusing heavily on Medium-range AoE Burning, Healing and Condition Clearing.
Utility Skills: Purifications
Purification skills are the Lorekeeper’s response to Necromancer’s Corruptions. However, rather than to cause self-harm in order to weaken and cripple enemies, the Lorekeeper stacks Conditions or other negative effects on themselves in order aid and heal allies with instant effects, or Punish enemies. Most Purifications have a quick or moderate activation time with instant, powerful effects.
Specialization Line
The first line specializes on the use of Dagger as a weapon and Cleansing Conditions from allies. The Second Line specializes in straight-up healing, increasing the Lorekeeper’s ability to keep Allies topped on health. The Third line focuses primarily on punishing enemies by buffing Allies with Damage and Retaliation, or the use of Purification Skills.
