    there was a rumor that the party size may be increased to 10, is that true or false?

    Haven't had the chance to squad with more than 4 people, but I somehow doubt it.

    Reminds me, I tried to make as much characters I could and there's still only 8 slots available.

    One detail more also, there's now a new newbie help window pop-up, which seems similar to FW.

    Did they change the prexisting popup that appears when you make a new toon?

    Oh! The "newbie armor" timed thing. Do all races across the board get that or just the EG? Kinda know its gonna be a complaint, after all it was when the TB came out, so might as well be ready. Sorry to ask but you're the only one thats talkative who has access b:surrender

    this thread was a great idea. i personally didn't need it because i've been following the official thread everyday so i always end up seeing the new info there. but this is great for people who don't have time or haven't read the other thread from begining.
    perhaps all the whining about this was because you called it Guide...
    you have here a great organized compilation of the info that has been released and people complain that you called it guide... for ffs -.- pfft

    this was a great idea and i find it very useful to go back to see the old stuff i've seen already without having to go trough all the pages of the other thread :)

    ._. That's...interesting.

    Different damage between mobs and players. That's a first.

    Guess they decided that much physical damage all at once would wtfpwn most squishies.

    Though the pvp damage doesn't seem all that weak either. b:surrender

    There was a rumor about squad size increasing when the Tideborns came out. GM's said no, no plans as yet. Doesn't mean they won't increase now though. Might make TT a little easier to accomplish.

    10-man squad was specifically denied by a Chinese dev in an interview.

    All I care about is that they expand the number of character slots... at least by one, that won't be too much to ask I hope.

    I actually think mystics sound decent, unless their rez skill works in PvP. I think it would be possible to make it only be effective when killed by a mob. Kind of OP if it works in PvP, as for their charm being on CD, they could easily wait for it to CD before popping back up, and 10s isn't that long to survive in PvP. I see it r4ping incredibly hard in PvP.

    Seeker could be interesting. Not sure will be able to stomach a melee though, regardless.

    They're really hard to explain. I don't think they'll be replacing barbs though. BMs already replaced barbs and since seeker can't get 5 aps, I'd say no.

    Your charm ticks when you res. As long as their res skill recovers less than 50% hp upon revival, their charm will always be on CD when they res.

    I was referring to the idea that if they would rez they wouldn't have restored HP, that isn't true. They could also wait until apo items cool down, providing them a further advantage... not quite as much as a sin's stealth, obviously, because people could move away, etc., target them, prepare, but it is an advantage.

    I don't think Mystics will replace Venomancers as the chief solo class. From the skill descriptions, it sounds like they lean a little more towards support than towards soloing, and they don't have the Veno's shape-shifting and subsequent magic/melee hybrid abilities. Also, Mystics seem unlikely to get anything like the Herc.

    However, Mystics and Venos might turn out to be a very good team, if the Mystic is able to help heal the Veno's pet (and the Veno herself). Even though Herc Venos can no longer solo some of the upper TT's, the Veno and Mystic together just might. We'll have to wait and see.

    The Mystic's heal and res are not liable to replace those of the Cleric, although the Mystic res buff will save a lot of frustration if the Cleric is killed.

    In short, the Mystic is probably not replacing anyone. It's just very nifty to have around.

    I called them a back up veno/cleric. Like you'd rather the veno/cleric, but mystic will do just as good too. What i like about them is if a hercs tanking, the mystic can heal the herc too b:victory

    Well, at level 1, it's 8%, and at level 5, it's 40%. Which means if it keeps that same ratio, it will end up at 80% at level 10. Plus it's physical, wood and water. So, unfortunately, yes. b:surrender

    And since a range is listed, I assume it can be cast on players. And I assume it also stacks with vanguard since it has a different buff symbol.
