Loadouts

Overview

Loadouts are pre-set selections of certain stats that players use during player-versus-player, or PvP, combat. PvP should not be confused for PvE, which stands for player-versus-environment refers to combat against mobs, where customisable gear is used. When duelling other players, Loadouts allow for more even fighting odds than found when strictly using gear, as a player’s level has no effect on their Loadout stats. The only thing that affects the strength of a player’s spell is the Loadout they picked and where they have put their spell points in their Spell Tree to strengthen specific spells.

Equipping Loadouts

Currently, Loadouts are available in every area that a player can PvP in, except for at housings and in the 1v1 Arena found in /games. At the Duelling Halls, players can talk to the Arena Selector NPC and use the icon in the middle of the first row in the GUI titled “Loadout Selector” to pick their Loadout for their time in the Duelling Halls. In classes, and challenges and tournaments, players can use the “Loadout Selection” NPC to pick their Loadout. Usually, the NPC will be located in the stands of the arena near where players spawn. Additionally, players can also use /loadouts to pick their loadout, wherever in the arena they are.

Sets

There are a total of 16 Loadouts that players can pick from, with three dedicated to each type of magic and one default Loadout. Any player is able to pick any Loadout, regardless of their level. This allows players to pick whichever Loadout fits their duelling style and preferred spells the most.

Default Wizard

The Default Loadout is good for duellists who do not have a firm grasp on what their strengths are. It is a good all-arounder set to experiment with different spells and strategies.

Charm Loadouts

Charm spells have a mixture of area-of-effect, or AOE, and skill shot spells. However, most of the damage done is through AOE spells. Duellists that have a majority of their spell points on charms or would like to reduce charms cooldowns should most likely pick a Charm Loadout. Players should be aware that Charms Loadouts generally have the least amount of health compared to the other categories. The three Loadouts encompassed in their category are Charms Master, Sorcerer, and Mage.

Jinx Loadouts

Jinxes tend to be skill shot spells and often do quite a bit of damage. Those who are confident in their aiming abilities or prefer jinx spells should generally choose a Jinx Loadout. Due to the power of these spells, Jinx Loadouts tend to have lower overall damage than other Loadouts. The Jinx Loadouts include the Jinx Master, Alchemist, and Duelist Loadouts.

Curse Loadouts

Curses tend to do a lot of damage over time or place negative effects upon the opponent. Despite the amount of damage that they do, curses are very easily able to be countered. Due to this, those who use curses most likely will want to find a Loadout that lowers their Curse cooldowns. The three Loadouts considered Curse Loadouts are Curse Master, Necromancer, and Warlock.

Transfiguration Loadouts

Transfiguration spells tend to be AOE spells, which can cause a lot of damage but may be problematic when duelling with a team. Those who like to cause damage over a large area, rather than just hitting one person, may favour Transfiguration. The three Transfiguration Loadouts include Transfiguration Master, Warden, and Conjurer. 

Defensive Loadouts

Defensive spells tend to revolve around healing and protection, which can be useful in a team setting. Despite the high healing abilities that Defensive Loadouts have, the lack of damage that they do is a drawback. The current Defensive Loadouts are Medicinal Master, Shaman, and Guardian.
