    Meh..idk...Blessing of the Purehearted isn't gonna win any awards, that's for sure, but i still use my lvl 2 for a 450-500HP heal between mobs at a cost of 40 mana which isn't all that bad i guess. o.o

    You could remove these archer skills and I wouldn't really notice.

    1) Stormrage Eagleon - nearly useless waste of a 2 spark skill
    2) Vicious Arrow - worthless DoT
    3) Serrated Arrow - worthless DoT (kinda ok to build chi)
    4) Deadly shot - At end game take aim costs less mana has less cooldown and does more damage
    5) Flight Mastery - Worthless for everything except starter wings
    6) Blessing of Condor - It removes your normal evasion buff, very much an unreliable last-ditch defense
    7) Winged Pledge - Don't really need this with claws. Wingspan is a lot better anyway
    8) Frost arrow - waste of chi at end game, not viable in pvp.. it was useful in early / mid levels

    It's not useless lol, I do agree that it may be the least used wizard skill, but that doesn't make it useless. Useless means that it has no uses whatsoever. In this case, that's not true. Also polls don't prove if something is right or wrong, they just say what the opinion of the majority of people is.

    So you would pick "Ember Storm" over some kind of mana drain/transfer skill? b:sad

    I thought the same with Deadly Shot. It is really nice when you first get it, but if you wait 15-20 levels, Take Aim is so much better, especially if you get lucky and refine a 60/70 weapon on the cheap side. I also like Take Aim as a second shot for squishies. I always had my key setup for 1 ) Stun 2) Take Aim. I would press 1 then hold 2 down so Take Aim cast instantly. Was a pretty good opener for PvP.
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    But you could just use     "Dragon's Breath" to do that. Both skills you need a target to use the skill on first. And ever if you do find one that way losing HP from using that skill will put you at a disadvantage if you charge if for too long. b:shocked

    I use     "Frostblade all the time. Mainly just to get chi.b:chuckle Maybe they should upgrade it some how.

    Class: Psychic
    Skill: Tide Form
    Exchanged for: Black Ice Dragon Strike

    Tide Form is the only skill I'd agree to getting changed, HOWEVER, if it were for BIDS, I'd agree to let Red Tide go too.

    And Yulk, you can't honestly say you're gonna go play the game when you haven't even started it yet, seeing as you're only lvl 55, so just stop talking about playing the game and learn it instead.

    And also, your barb is on HT, HT isn't a PvP server.

    DB costs 1 spark, and ES costs a liltle tiny bit hp and is quicker to do.

    Nah, not really, I already agreed with the hp to mp drain idea. I'm not saying Emberstorm is a super skill, just saying that it's not useless.

    It's not that bad, the devs were just so full of imagination when they created the new classes that they copy-pasted the name from our skill. But they're skill just does a silly fly speed thing.

    yeah totally agree wizzys should be able to get a 'cleric class specific skill', in return we should be granted one like Black Ice Dragon Strike
    /facepalm

    You already have one, it's called Tempest. Yes it is slightly weaker, but I believe we asked for a gimped and weaker res too (100% less weapon damage, but that's nothing seeing as base magic attack + 400% weapon damage is around %1000 at endgame, and difference between %1000 and %1100 is only 10%)

    How about we get a res that, say, channels twice as long or something, or has a very close range to res (say, 6 meters), or whatever other gimped version. You have a 10% weaker BIDS now we want a 10% weaker res too. b:bye

    Psys ripped elves off in general with their version of Sutra.

    Why the fish get a skill to boost flight speed for anyone but the elves who are supposedly masters of the sky don't is anyone's guess.

    yeah go facepalm 20 more times and slap yourself for me.
    res is res. No matter what the after effects are or the requisites, as long as you get the ultimate job done, to REVIVE the **** who died, no ones going to really care. The sole purpose of res is to get that tard back on their feet and running.

    What do u think if clerics asked for a
    - self barb buff that channels twice as long or something
    - self bm buff that channels twice as long or something
    - self veno buff that channels twice as long or something
    - cleric version of bloodpaint that channels twice as long or something
    - cleric barrage that channels twice as long or something

    If your asking for a class specific spell, be fair and tweak the skill itself, not the REQUISITES or BONUS that comes with the skill, yet gets the skill done 100% like the other class. ("oh the requisites should be higher! oh the bonuses should be lower! oh but we want the revive itself to have the same full effects as it does the other class")
    At the minimum, if wiz should get a revive, i think the penalty should be a 'weakened' state of -%50 stats including HP for 5min for the revived guy
