Hellgate: London’s Templar Faction

IGN PC has put together a quick overview of two of the classes available to the Templar faction in Flagship Studios’ Hellgate: London. The Blademaster:

The Blademaster is a member of the Templar faction, and the class’s primary gameplay function is to deal large amounts of damage quickly. Like Diablo II’s Barbarian, the Blademaster appeals to my play style more than any other class because I prefer to charge directly into groups of enemies instead of taking shots from a distance. I have little concern for my own safety and just want to kill monsters as quickly as I can regardless of how much damage I receive as a result. Lucky for me, the Blademaster can wear some of the toughest armor in the game.

The Blademaster’s arsenal leans mostly toward melee weapons. This is perfect for me, since I’m all about getting up close to my targets. There are numerous swords at the Blademaster’s disposal, each imbued with various damage types. Combined with the ability to dual wield, the Blademaster is incredibly adept at facing the challenges Demon infested London presents.
