OH WE'RE SKILL REBALANCING -- Sinking... and customers are running...

Having too much fun in other things right now just close this Free-to-Win piece of shovelware and be DONE WITH IT. b:laugh

Who made you King Killjoy? b:shutup
Bump for stopping the spambots. This rebalance looks... Interesting to say the least. Im still iffy on Demon Stormrage, but from the looks of the 'rebalanced' Sage skills, Demon is still numero uno.

THIS b:dirty

AlysonRose - Heavens Tear

On the one hand I'm glad that mystic skills are good enough as they are that they only touched 3 of them.

On the other hand I'm annoyed because it seems every other class is getting half of their entire skill set buffed by 10-50% b:cry

Seriously out of every possible change they could have done they give Parasitic Nova a 95% proc and leave gale force untouched? They couldn't have put it back to the way it ORIGINALLY was before they made the freeze and seal separate procs b:dirty

I don't use sublime transfusion, but with it taking only 1 spark now I'll consider it...still never.

Swirling Mist getting buffed is nice I guess. Only about 2k instead of this BS % pf magic attack that everyone else's DOT seems to be getting.

Giving Absorb Soul a gimpy crit chance though is quite interesting. Will my Devil buffed crit rate be taken into account or is it gonna go off my default 10%? Guess we will find out. I only really use the skill anymore of I'm feeling really lazy on a mob that I can 2 shot with it/build chi for slightly less mp than hoping sage NV procs it. Oh and Magic Resist mobs.

I used to use it on the Aba tree boss, but that is long past being a relevant statement.

I'm actually shocked that they would change ANY skills before buffing healing herb or any of the other non vital herb plants.

Well everyone was complaining the TB were OP... no offence at all since I love my psy to bits.
And like someone said earlier, it was to reply more on skill than luck, right?

Arctix - Dreamweaver

seems like all the primary 6 classes as well as seekers r coming to at par


On a side note I really hope it is a true fact n not a "personnel suggestion on how the things should b" which happens to pop up from time to time in forums

Seekers:HELL YES! (Somewhat incomplete, but, best I can do with google and the skill list from ecatomb)

Something?: Gives twice the crit rate to deal 1.5x damage.
(I have no bloody clue as to what this one is.)
[/SIZE]

I was curious about this one as well. At first I thought it was one of the stances (and maybe it still is) but not so sure now since they really don't affect crit rate in any way.

And speaking of stances... I'm hoping that the fact that sage heart seeker's immobilize is now guaranteed to proc means that we will no longer have the case where the other stances would automatically lower heart seeker's proc rate (yes... an outstanding bug that was never fixed for Seekers) whenever they are activated.

I've had a closer look at the Chinese characters, it's related to a skill that can go Demon/Sage; It's still anyone's guess though. I've added a note to my post for it.

Well just about every skill (other than the lvl 79 Culti skills, Morai and the lvl 100 ones) will have a choice to go demon or sage, so that doesn't narrow things down much. b:surrender

Really do appreciate the other Seeker skill translations though... things seem to be looking up for what has been a much maligned class.

Did we see anything about BMs? I tried to look but me no speaky crazy language of google translate.

Yes there is, go to the link and the 1st post has it all for bm

http://bbs.w2i.wanmei.com/viewthread.php?tid=2016138&extra=page%3D1

Based on the link in this quote, I tried my hand at translating some of it.

It's not done, but I've gotten as far as I can and hope maybe this will save a better translator some time and effort.


Copied from a post I made on faction forums:

DISCLAIMER: I in know way claim that these translations are 100% accurate or if they'll even come to pass.

Woah, I love the changes on the venomancer skills I didn't look at the other classes much yet to judge but...this update has to come out faster.

I'm actually excited about this, even if I can't play much due to rl.

ElderSig - Dreamweaver

They must have fired to old RT devs, these new devs since at least Descent have actually been improving the game. (Despite what the constant QQers say)

Except, almost 70% of all the passengers on board the titanic failed to bail out of the ship and died with it.

So what you're really meaning to say is, the ship is sinking, but it's gonna take the majority of players along with it?

I'm assuming you're male (women usually aren't this moronic), so there's a 90% probability you're gonna be on that ship when it sinks. I mean, unless you're the type of guy that kicks a little child and his mother overboard to save himself.

OOOO that post added a new one for archers!

Awaken: Cooldown reduced from 15 minutes to 5 minutes

Very nice. It's been really hard to most of the morai attack skills since they take so much chi. I was hoping they would just lower the chi requirement though but a shorter cooldown for awaken is very welcome.

And yet, the hundreds of bugs that have plagued the game since PW purchased it and fired the original devs still plague the game.

I'm still waiting for the BugFix Expansion. Anything else is just eye candy to placate the people that haven't left yet.

Very welcome indeed. This makes for quite an improvement on this skill. With the dreadfully long 15 CD, it was tough to use in TW. You'd pass on opportunities to use it if they weren't ideal, since you'd have such a long wait before it becomes available again. Add to this that the odds of getting blasted to smithereens seem to increase 5 fold immediately after using it.

While I agree more bugs need to be fixed (though I see some of them being fixed lately like the Magic Shell) I wouldn't call something like skill balancing "eye candy." It's pretty central to the game.

Quit your b1tching. Wiz already got the most broken and game changing skills from moari along with Archer. Wtf did BM get? 1 tele freeze, means nothing since everyone else got better at kiting, and rest completely ****ing useless skills.

Kyuushuu - Heavens Tear

Anything new for bms?

Rerum - Sanctuary

Wow forums back alive? yesterday this thread reached page 4 on top of a massive amount of bot spam, at point which I gave up. OK gonna finish BM there were like 5 more skill changes .

Edit: Already saw BM and seekers skills translated so copy pasted and wrote the translator name on first page.

Yulk_owns - Lost City

Question:

Would channel delay buff finally work on bosses (IE veno/BM)?
Will the immobilize have longer duration (IE ones that lasts less than 5 seconds)?
Would swimming mastery (working for venoes as well) be buffed?

Kyuushuu - Heavens Tear

So demon bms get like nothing?
