So theres a ton of new fancy skills, but I read a few places that some combined skills are bugged / less good than their original version. These posts are buried somewhere in all the other posts, and I cant really find them again.
So I thought maybe it would be good to get this thread up running.
What class are you, and what is your impression of each skill upgrade you have so far? Worth/Not worth?

    mystic and seeker skills have misspelled words, wrong documentation, etc. Some skills don't interact correctly, others have inaccurate descriptions. Mystic also has several skills which don't even have a description, just a blank empty box. Some skills are just copy-pasted from previous versions even though they do something different.

    Other than that, I think most of the skills are upgrades. Seeker's seem to have the biggest issues.

    Seeker has a bucket load of issues really, but it all is due to stances and how each proc interacts. A few tips:

    1.You cannot proc stances produced from an upgraded skill with an un-upgraded skill, and vice-versa. When upgrading skills do it in batches of proc skill/trigger skills.
    2. Certain glyphs eliminate stance/procs so pay attention to these (i believe they are the red/silver glyphs)
    3. Bloodletting stun proc doesnt work when gravel blade is equipped with a blue rune. The description also incorrectly states the effects of spirit bore. Until this is fixed this rune is 100% useless
    4. Gravel Blade has 5% less proc chance than its un-upgraded version. This can be good or bad depending on your build.
    5. Upgraded Gemini Slash has an additional slow effect, which is 33% chance on vanilla skill version and most glyphs, and 100% chance when green glyphed. This slow effect is not produced when Gemini is being used to proc spirit bore. This sucks since spirit bore debuff once procced already lasts 3 minutes so it's a lot of useless waste.
    6. In relation to the issue in 5. - this can make green glyphed Gravel Blade (100% chance to proc spirit bore, lengthened duration of proc) undesirable as you will be lessening the chance of slow of Gemini Slash.

    Those are only the issues I know of so far as I don't yet have windblade and probably wont be upgrading to glowingblade.    ​​
