PWCN unveils new Earthguard Class (skills translated)

hokker#1570

May 22nd PWCN will release a new update introducing a new Earthguard class, I will update this thread when we get more information, for now we just have some pics

His name google translating seems like "Blood Spirit" where spirit is usually the race name as we can see Seeker being called "Sword Spirit"

He was born without the intention of becoming cold and suffered from the erosion of bloody evil. The aura of bloody evil is extremely strong, so that the “blood spirit” is always in danger of turning into an insane demon. Only by successfully suppressing it can he coexist with it in the body. The “blood spirit” holding the double sickle is hiding in this world, often walking alone in the dark, practicing the art of blood soul, purifying evil and eliminating grievances, and there is no way to release it.

Deepl has a bit of a more accurate translation:


The new profession of ‘Blood Spirit’ is made up of a wisp of soul, born with no heart and cold feelings, and suffers from the pain of Blood Siren erosion. The blood sickness is so strong that the ‘Blood Spirit’ is always in danger of falling into madness, and only when it is successfully suppressed can it coexist in the body. The ‘blood spirit’ with two scythes in hand is hidden in the world, often travelling alone in the dark, practicing the art of blood soul, purifying and removing grudges, and there is no way to get rid of it.

Sounds like a dex dual wield class , that relies on blood [lifesteal?], rage and combos (someone said sins?)
Rough translation of the expansion name would be "Heart of blood", "Soul Heart" or "Blood mind".

Class is rated at
Durability 3,5/5
Disengaging 4,5/5
Crowd Control 3,5/5
Agility/Flexibility 4,0/5
Teamwork 1,5/5
Hard to master 3,5/5

Got the solution to broken integrated images! It's because the source you use is discord


Images are not gone. Explanation below.
If you see a broken image in your signature on the forum or if you use a sig rotator, check the image source (URL). If the URL starts with something like "media.discordapp" or "cdn.discordapp" the image is hosted on Discord and won't work outside Discord anymore.

If you don't know how to find the URL, right click on the image and select "open image in new tab".

If you open the URL in a browser you will see "This content is no longer available.". If you paste the URL to the image into any Discord channel or DM with another user, the image still works and will show up.

Right click on the image and select "Copy link". Paste the URL into a browser (or into something like a text editor on your computer) and you will see it has three new URL parameters (ex, is and hm). These will expire after 24 hours and then the image will no longer work outside discord. You would have to go into Discord, copy the link again and use the new parameters for it to work and this is no solution.

You can take the URL including the parameters and go to imgur.com for example or any other image host of your choice. On imgur.com select "new post" and it will let you paste the URL to an image. It will upload automatically. Alternative you can download the image to your computer first and upload it there. Once it's uploaded right click and select "Copy Image Link" to get the new URL for the image hosted on imgur. You can also open the image in a new tab instead and get the URL that way.

If you are on mobile and have no computer ask a friend with a computer to get the links for you.

Addition: You can access images on Discord this way - no matter who uploaded them originally. All you need is the URL to the image and then post it somewhere. At the same time you can skip the part where you look up the URL and post them on Discord again if you already had them there somewhere. Then you only need to right click on the respective image and find the updated URL with the parameters.

TL;DR: Don't use Discord to host your images anymore outside the Discord app, use another site where the URLs don't expire.

hokker#1570

The new class got a strong negative feedback from the chinese community, the developers stated this and brought some changes

1. Skill Adjustment

After continuously observing the actual performance of the Blood Spirit class in the game, we found that the current Blood Spirit class skills have the following problems:

1) In dungeon battles, the damage-increasing effect of the passive skill "Blood Embers" cannot be effectively exerted due to the group healing profession in the team.

2) The acquisition of the "Shadow Chaser" and "Ashura" skills requires the casting of prerequisite skills, which is inconsistent with the current operating habits of practitioners.

3) In large-scale battles, due to its characteristic of "the lower the blood volume, the higher the damage", the Blood Spirit profession lacks a sense of security when controlling blood, which to a certain extent limits the Blood Spirit profession's determination to move forward bravely.

Therefore, we have made the following adjustments to the Blood Spirit skills, making them more suitable for the current combat environment and the operating habits of practitioners while retaining the professional characteristics:

1) In the Blood Evil state, the Blood Spirit profession will no longer accept blood recovery effects other than its own, and can output more stably in the damage increase state.

2) Adjust the shallow air rune effect of "God·Flowing Mark" to "directly and quickly rush to the marked target and freeze it", and no longer require the casting of the "Shadow Chaser" skill.

3) The "Ashura" skill has been cancelled, and its effect has been merged into the "God·Severance" skill. After casting "God·Severance", the player will directly enter a deep blood evil state without having to click on the skill to cast it actively.

4) Added appropriate defensive measures for the Blood Spirit profession, so that it can have some life-saving measures when its health is low.
