Allods Online Scouts Class Guide

Allods Online: Beginner Guide For Scouts - Allods Online is bound to be a huge success given its close similarities to World of Warcraft and the fact that it’s free-to-play. Many gamers who have tried Allods usually have a blast playing but ultimately get a little overwhelmed with what class to play and why. And that’s a completely understandable complex given all the playable classes in the game and the sub-class abilities that they can employ. So to help new players get adjusted to this colorfully deep MMORPG, this beginner guide for the bow-and-arrow using Scouts will go over some of the aspects of what makes a Scout a good player class to pick and how some of their abilities can be utilized for both group play and soloing.

Not only does it usually result in getting clobbered up close but it results in trying to shoot melee enemies with a bow and usually missing because they’re too close. Thankfully, Allods Online has one of the best Scout classes in any RPG out there.

One of the coolest parts about playing a Scout is that not only can they deal massive damage at a distance with bows and crossbows, but they also have the option of going full melee, complete with the option of dual-wielding swords, axes, clubs and other weapons. I know that it’s a rare option for a Scout in most RPGs, but it’s an awesome option in Allods Online, nonetheless.

It's not going to end well for one of themUnlike other classes in Allods, Scouts have two very different styles of play when grouped up with other players and when taking things easy in solo play. In a group, it’s best to stay as far back as your bow will allow and pick off enemies while other teammates do all the nitty-gritty, up-close tanking. Otherwise, trying to get in close and melee attack enemies while in a group battle usually ends with the Scouts kicking the bucket first.

When soloing, it’s far more tactical playing a Scout as players will need to utilize various skills within their talent cache in order to fight tough enemies. Scouts have a series of stun moves, status debuffs and evasive counter attacks to help get them out of a tough bind. Even if a player focuses on melee attacks as a Scout, because of their low defense it’s important to employ many of the skills that come with a Scout in order to keep foes off-balanced and waylaid from attacking.
