Lock soul scarab: summon a doll which is linked to your target, whenever this doll takes hit by magic atk, your target will recieve 50% dmg, this doll will slow down your target by 30%, last 12-28sec(SF). 28.5meter/2min/2spark Looks decent, just needs more explaining.

Yaoqi hit: fox form skill, turn your target into a little frog, the frog can only use normal atk(5.0aps frog?), last 6sec. 27meter/1min/50chi Just weird xD

Dance: both veno and pet anti stun for 10sec, increase pet atk and acc by 100%. 3min/1spark, pet must be in range of 35meters. Awesome skill.

Nether Spirit of Fire: new reflect buff, available in pvp , reduce dmg recieve by 30%, reflect back 100% phy atk, 15sec. 1min/1spark could of just made bramble work in pvp, seems like a weaker bramble hood.

vigor break: fox form skill, decrease target chi by 150. melee/30sec/25chi ok I guess.

    At 27 meters, the Yaoqi hit is by far the longest range foxform skill, and is obviously aimed at casters, not 5APS autoattackers. Though it could keep an assassin from shadow escaping...

    Vigor break is probably best used in conjunction with crush vigor.

    Along with Cleric's i think they are the most unique ... seem nice in theory but we will have to see them in real use to judge.

    For the case Yaoqi can be used in fox form we have a very usable skill for PvP.

    Dance is not that good. After all genies can do quite the same without the spark cost.

    Lock soul is a nice one. Should allow parasitic nova combos to get even better for PvP. For PvE I don't think one is to use noxious on single targets instead of venomous in order to get the damage boost.

    Nether spirit of fire is the new formula for QQ. It's going to make r9 sins and 5aps bms run from venos.

    Vigor break doesn't look very usable but let's see how long it takes to channel...


    To sum up, we have lots of new tricks for PvP but concerning PvE it's quite the same as ever.

    Frankly, I'll believe them when I see them. And see how much cash-shop you have to shell out to get them.

    Duplicating something and then AOEing it sounds interesting though.

    This is all in a TW standpoint. I don't care much for other stuff. N i know that we don't know for sure what these skills will bring when they come out so im keeping an open mind about it.

    Venomancer
    Lock soul scarab: summon a doll which is linked to your target, whenever this doll takes hit by magic atk, your target will recieve 50% dmg, this doll will slow down your target by 30%, last 12-28sec(SF). 28.5meter/2min/2spark

    Well, I was hoping this skill could combat sins, but it seems its more for targetting casters. My expectations dont seem too grand for this skill, so for now, my idea is that I'll probably be using this alot on cata clerics and psychics ^^

    Yaoqi hit: fox form skill, turn your target into a little frog, the frog can only use normal atk(5.0aps frog?), last 6sec. 27meter/1min/50chi

    Such a great skill, probably the first skill I will obtain if it's possible. Definitely will be using this on Cata barbs and BM's lol


    Dance: both veno and pet anti stun for 10sec, increase pet atk and acc by 100%. 3min/1spark, pet must be in range of 35meters.

    Being a sage veno, I don't get an anti stun skill like demon veno's, so It's quite awesome that I'm getting one. Also, seems like it might be making the nix hit just a little bit harder for those 10 seconds, great for finishing off opponents.

    Nether Spirit of Fire: new reflect buff, available in pvp , reduce dmg recieve by 30%, reflect back 100% phy atk, 15sec. 1min/1spark

    This is probably the 3nd skill I'll probably get. It's like a bramble hood that only costs 1 spark and will probably do great damage to those archers, pesky BM's that start to aoe, and possibly a wizards blame tempest (purely situational tho)


    vigor break: fox form skill, decrease target chi by 150. melee/30sec/25chi

    Definitely will be the 2nd skill I obtain. What a game breaking skill in TW this one might be simply because of the cooldown and chi required to cast. Definitely will be used on everything that depends on chi (archers/catabarbs/bms) muhahahahahaha


    Yan Mie Lock soul scarab: summon a doll which is linked to your target, whenever this doll takes hit by magic atk, your target will recieve 100% dmg, this doll will slow down your target by 30%, last 12-28sec(SF). 28.5meter/2min/2spark

    Nothing that will restore a semblance of game balance between classes.

    true

    frog thing...lol

    antistun sounds nice...
    cant be used when already stuned/stunlocked...
    hopefully the atk buff doesn't overwrite claw...

    reducing chi...
    why not adding it right away to your own...

    venomancer only have 2magic aoes...
    if that vodoo doll was just aoe...
    diving into an enemy group...setting up the doll right next to you...immunity skill/pot...watch everyone near you die from r9+12 aoes...most likely their own...
    great support for casters in mass pvp...

    Useless. Better to simply send your pet to the target and launch attack spells directly to it. And 2 mins cooldown is way too much to make it usefull
    Yaoqi hit: fox form skill, turn your target into a little frog, the frog can only use normal atk(5.0aps frog?), last 6sec. 27meter/1min/50chi
    Useless.Most likely still faster to use the same method as before. Unless it also works on bosses, but I doubt it will.
    Dance: both veno and pet anti stun for 10sec, increase pet atk and acc by 100%. 3min/1spark, pet must be in range of 35meters.
    This one could be useful. But again, 3 mins cooldown is too long.
    Nether Spirit of Fire: new reflect buff, available in pvp , reduce dmg recieve by 30%, reflect back 100% phy atk, 15sec. 1min/1spark
    PvP skill apparently, so have no uses in PvE
    vigor break: fox form skill, decrease target chi by 150. melee/30sec/25chi
    .
    Do mobs have chi to begin with?

    Sounds more like a PK skill of some sorts to me. Or something versus aoe stuff. Weird o_o

    Yaoqi hit: fox form skill, turn your target into a little frog, the frog can only use normal atk(5.0aps frog?), last 6sec. 27meter/1min/50chi
    This one made me hit up my wife and her being veno... I told her if she uses it on me she's got to kiss me after so I get back into human form b:surrender Surely a skill for a nice giggle. But it sounds pretty damn nice to *unarm* someone.

    Dance: both veno and pet anti stun for 10sec, increase pet atk and acc by 100%. 3min/1spark, pet must be in range of 35meters. Awesome skill.
    Epic skill. That combined with nix b:dirty

    Nether Spirit of Fire: new reflect buff, available in pvp , reduce dmg recieve by 30%, reflect back 100% phy atk, 15sec. 1min/1spark
    Don't pvp, so ya b:surrender

    vigor break: fox form skill, decrease target chi by 150. melee/30sec/25chi
    Sorry, mob targets don't have chi ._. Another one that's pk only lol

    Hm, it's pretty mixed. Some skills can be very useful but others.. urgh. lol I'm curious about the requirements and costs of thew skills atm.

    .... Actually, you're quite right. On boss, I tend to spam my aoes since they deal more damage than my single target spells. With good timing, a single doll could be a great use of sparks for the whole squad.

    I cant help but wonder about this very first one. I mean, in pvp where (with the stunlock/5aps/8/9 oneshots) do you find the time to channel this attack to make it usefull. If this supposed doll resembles the targetted opponent, it either needs to live long enough (mass pvp/TW) in order for this to work and in 1vs1 i cant help but think Ok, channel skill>what will i hit it with?>ok it's there>...i'm dead. Course it could be combined with the Dance anti stun.. but even then i find this one a bit iffy.


    Yaoqi hit: fox form skill, turn your target into a little frog, the frog can only use normal atk(5.0aps frog?), last 6sec. 27meter/1min/50chi

    This one is just going to be hilarious in TW/open pvp. Imagine a TW field with all sorts of frogs running about and veno's tagetting opponents like mad turning them into frogs.. BWHHAHAHAH XD

    Dance: both veno and pet anti stun for 10sec, increase pet atk and acc by 100%. 3min/1spark, pet must be in range of 35meters.

    Immediately i thought: "*snorts* Yeah... with a **** *** long cooldown. Hello still-annoying-as-***-stunlock."

    Nether Spirit of Fire: new reflect buff, available in pvp , reduce dmg recieve by 30%, reflect back 100% phy atk, 15sec. 1min/1spark

    Pretty effing redundant if you ask me =\ waste of an extra skill when the 2 prior one's should of never been changed in the first place.

    vigor break: fox form skill, decrease target chi by 150. melee/30sec/25chi

    +Mu zun's taunt say bye bye to 2 1/5 sparks but then again, how long will you still live to make this usefull i wonder.

    I'm not saying veno's are made of glass absolutely not, not saying their equivalent of a diamond either. Just to me, in comparison to the other class's skills, the veno ones seemed to be created in a last minute herp derp moment.

    To me they dont seem to add nor prevent -really- anything that what we've been asking/begging for for years. Others how ever -did- get it. or got pretty damn nice add-ons.

    They certainly are unique XD Well, these changes in general are going to give a new different feeling to PWI but hey it's the updates we've been waiting!

    I can't judge on the skills yet unless I see them in action, or get information from someone that has used them since I'll most likely not have much time to play and get the skills until summer (in university atm :P)

    But hey dance looks like a really nice skill for the very reason that we finally get a pet buff we can cast ourselves XD

    Idk. I hope these skills REALLY help venos because it's been harder than ever to find squads on WC that need venos. Everyone is just like "Need sin 5 APS +10 link wep for inv plz" or seekers mostly. /facepalm

    Mystics are starting to replace clerics in lots of squads too.

    PWi needs to make new unique classes that won't degrade or make the other classes useless. Thus, I'm not really sure if these skills will help restore even a bit of the veno's importance or balance to the game.
