kRO Test Server now has the newest Ragnarok Online 3rd Job up and running – the Mechanic. It’s really fascinating how Gravity is slowly making Ragnarok more modern with each patch they apply. With the latest update, the Mechanic has access to mecha-like power suits. Anyway, the new skill list has already been uploaded on Doddler, and I’d like to talk about some of the more interesting ones.
Robot Time!
The Mechanic has a lot of very useful skills that can help in PVE or PVP when he/she is in the Magic Gear (Robot). I’ve listed some of the more notable and really functional ones that I saw. Don’t hesitate to let me know what you think about them as well by leaving a comment.
Neutral Barrier
Description: Creates a strong energy barrier around you, reducing physical and magic damage to those in its radius, but does not reduce long range attacks. Requires the magic gear equipment Barrier Generator equipped and consumes 1 Magic Gear Fuel.
Now this is just pure evil. Having the ability to protect your entire team will make offense during siege a whole lot easier. You’ll be able to withstand the barrage of spells and AOE attacks when trying to penetrate portal pre-cast defense.
Magnetic Field
Description: Creates a strong magnetic field around you, preventing all enemies from moving. The effect doesn’t work if you or the enemy are in hovering status. Maintaining the magnetic field rapidly drains your SP. Requires the magic gear equipment Magnetic Field Generator equipped and consumes 3 Magic Gear Fuel.
This is a pretty funny but deadly skill. Imagine all the times wherein your opponents are trying to run from you and your party? Well, this will solve the problem. Just make sure they’re in range, use this skill, and have your mages blast them away with multiple AOE spells.
Cold Slower
Description: Using the magic gears basic equipment, supercools a target area, causing water element damage and freezing status to those in range. Consumes 1 Liquid Cooling Shell.
Another effective War of Emperium and PVP Skill! Combined with the Frost Joke and other status ailment abilities of other classes, you can easily mess up the formation of the opposing team especially if they’re lacking Unfrozen Armors.
Pile Bunker
Description: An attack striking a target with a large metal spike. When striking a target there is a chance to completely eliminate their defense. Requires the Pile Bunker to be equipped.
Hate those impossibly tough Knights and Crusaders slipping past your defenses because of their insane armor? Well, this skill solves the problem. Pile Bunker literally tears off their defense, making them easily “killable” with melee attacks and skills. If I had this skill way back in 2005-2006, I would have had much more fun with my Blacksmith, hehehe.
The Mechanic still has several damage skills available, in fact they have a kamikaze-like attack wherein they blow up their robot to deal massive AOE damage. I just wanted to highlight the utility skills in this post because they’re really something else. Having a Mechanic on your team, whether it be PVE or PVP will give your side a distinct edge.

Though the mecha-type sprite is not yet final.

I hope the magic gear looks good. You forgot about the self destruct skill. Although it didn’t specifically say how strong, it did say massive damage. I think its worth mentioning. hehe..
wakoko on March 27, 2009
nice!! yung shura po may update na ba?? hehe
unknowingly on March 27, 2009
they’ve become somewhat a support type in offense actually.. most of their skills particularly…
i’ve heard that equipping the mech will not allow you to use your cart so you cant use HSCR while in the madou gear
+C|D+ on March 27, 2009
^ nakakatuwa naman yun mecha kung nag cart ram pa mecha-riton!!
Krugis on March 28, 2009
about dun sa cold slower… magkaiba po yung freezing status sa frozen status. hindi po nayeyelo yung kalaban sa freezing status instead lowered defense/move speed/aspd and increased cast time.
