We are moving away from a system where you either dance, or berserk - but never both. In the new system there is some overlap, and you can choose what to use depending on how you want to play. Each of the types of abilities offers some offense, some defense, some utility and some magic resistance. I will reveal a bit about how learning abilities will work. Each ability will require X number of abilities from that Path to be known, before it can be learned. Each ability will also consume Y slots. So, many of the lower level abilities will only require 0-2 abilities to be known from a Path. Roar Anger the Earth, for example, might be selectable without any previously known abilities. Dragon Form might require 2. Berserk Volcano, might need 7. Each Barbarian will have an opportunity to select a "Path" if they so choose. Choosing a path will give additional slots, make it appear as though you know more abilities from that path than you do and will have some RP tie-ins along the way. Anyways, the initial ability list was just that - a start. It has already changed, and will continue to evolve with your much-appreciated input over the next few months.
