Meta-Physicist
The origin
"Forget all that you have learned. Forget all that you have seen. As a Meta-Physicist you will know all there really is. You will learn how to harness your rage and your anger so you may use it against others or for the benefit of yourself. Through your growing cosmic knowledge of the universe and nano technology, you will be able to summon a manifestation to fight for you and a manifestation to heal your body. Technology has given us the weapon in our hands with which we can fight, but true power and knowledge lies in the form of our manifestations. Control your anger so you may further increase the abilities of your manifestations, thereby increasing its anger. All the non-believers shall taste that anger! Those that face you shall be stripped of their nano-based abilities, be frozen where they stand, and be bombarded with your energy. The fate of all those that face you is written in time. As a Meta-Physicist you will show them their maker. You are at once, both the beginning and the end."
What makes an MP
The Meta-Physicists get their strength from the "other side". They can manifest their emotions in the material world and eventually control multiple materialized entities and use them in combat. The uniqueness of a Meta-Physicist lies in manipulating the underlying fabric of the world where nanotechnology operates, adjusting the nanotechnology skills of friends and foes alike. Their weapon skills are poor but they can use their powers to damage their opponents directly.
Pets
The Meta-Physicist can control up to three entities - pets - at a time. One fighter, by many regarded as the manifestation of the innate rage, anger and hate that permeates the MPs. One healer, often seen as the representation of the MPs love, compassion and tenderness. Finally, the MP can control a mezmeriser, representing the confusion, depression and inner turmoil. These three combined are your attack and protection force, and what will make you both a damage dealer, a healr and able to solo. Love your pets.
- There are 53 attack pets, including two skeleton pets, three Shadowlands demons and the final MP pet, The Rihwen, which takes the shape as a mortiig (Shadowlands only). You can only have one attack pet up at a time, and the 'meatballs', skeletons and demons all have different qualities.
- The heal pets comes in 10 different strengths, including the Mortificant, the most powerful of them all (Shadowlands only). Again, only one healer at a time is allowed.
- Finally, there are 16 different versions of the mez pet. These pets are often underestimated, as they don't necessarily seem very helpful at first glance. However, this is not the case, as the mezzer will help you calm if you get more than one mob coming after you.
Creation weapons
MPs can create weapons and shields from their own energy resources. Each creation item will last for 2 hours once created and is bound to you, ergo NoDrop. While there are different opinions whether or not they are worth the time and energy expense instead of using an offensive weapon, it's really a matter of preference. If you play full defensive and without weapons, a shield like Shield of Asmodian can be useful, with its defensive modifiers along with a little AC and reflect. Try your way around, see what you like.
Nano skills
Special abilities
- Wings! Meta-Physicists get access to a program called Quantum Wings. This program will allow you to fly for 30 minutes and is wonderfully useful. If you want to save the credits for a yalm and you're willing to wait, this is a great substitute. Plus is looks awesome. Note that you can't fight, command pets, use perks or execute nano programs while flying.
- Nano Shutdown! NSD is maybe the most coveted nanoprogram for an MP on higher levels. It will effectively shut down the nano skills of your target, decreasing them with -2000 points. Very handy when the mob you're fighting has nasty nukes up its sleeve.
- Crystal creation!
- Shadowland garden warp!
- Odin's Missing Eye!
