Black Desert celebrated its 10th anniversary this weekend, announcing a raft of new features and detailing long-term plans for the Korean MMO at its annual Heidel Ball event. Held this year in the French castle town of Beynac-et-Cazenac, the event culminated in the reveal of the game's 28th class: Dosa, a pipe-smoking swordsman with a mysterious past and a deeply unusual fighting style.
As demonstrated in the class trailer, Dosa's combat style combines acrobatic swordplay with vaporous magic. In melee, Dosa leaps upon his foes with fast-paced flurries of attacks, using nimble dodges to evade enemy strikes. This is enhanced by his traditional Gombangdae smoking pipe, which is far more than an affectation. The pipe empowers Dosa with spectral abilities, letting him teleport around the battlefield in puffs of smoke, summon ranks of ghostly archers to pelt enemies with arrows, and spin up a deadly miasmal vortex that crackles with electricity.
