Echo of Soul is quite special, and is going to smash its way into the public eye! Despite this change to take experienced players out of their element, most of the mechanics are very newbie friendly, and the in-game help includes voice overs to explain exactly what you need to do in the event you don’t care enough to do the reading.

That’s right: No dedicated healing class at all. I have already had an opportunity to play Echo of Soul, and even had a shot at doing a higher-level dungeon with a couple of other press members, including my boss and one of the things that really stands out, that makes Echo of Soul a title all its own is that there are no healers.
