Welcome to HELL

We unveil Hellgate: London's hardcore heroes in our guide to kicking ass

Words: Tyler Nagata, GamesRadar US

The Summoner Cabalist
Hellgate’s Summoner class has enough beasts, elementals, and demons up her sleeve to give WoW’s Warlock a bad case of mana envy. As a Summoner, you won’t be dealing much direct damage. But with so many minions under your control on screen you won’t have to. Kick back, relax, and let your pets do the dirty work for you.

Quick Tips:
Make sure to learn how to summon the Carnagor and teach him his taunt skill, which also boosts its health. With pumped up health points, your Carnagor will be your personal body guard, drawing the attention of nearby enemies away from you and soaking up damage while you kill off the demons from a safe distance. Wisdom is an important stat for Summoners because having a large pool of mana will eventually allow you to summon up to nine fire elementals at the same. With the Carnagor holding the attention of enemies and the elementals acting as your firing squad, it’s like having a personal army on your side.

The Evoker Cabalist
If letting others do your work for you sounds like a bore, then you can’t go wrong with the Evoker. Whether you want to be a long ranged nuker or go for a build geared toward area-of-effect damage, the Evoker is the king of DPS when it comes to Hellgate’s caster classes.

Quick Tips:
Long-ranged nukers should consider Spectral Lash for its range and high damage. But those looking for a pure damage-per-second build should look towards climbing the fire skill tree, for Hellfire. This short ranged skill will put your lightly armored Evoker in harms way, but deals massive damage. Combine Hellfire with Venom Armor for some poisonous protection and you’ll be set to stand toe to toe with hell’s fiercest champions.

Don’t forget to take advantage of focus items, which can greatly increase the amount of damage you deal no matter what kind of Evoker you build.
