=============
New Skill:"Omniblessing" (Unofficial name)

Mana 2400
Channel 2.0 seconds
Cast 3.0 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Gain 50 chi

Requisite Cultivation　Aware of Vacuity

Grant all squad members within 15 meters for 1 hour:
An extra 60% from the equipment's magic defense
An extra 60% from the equipment's physical defense
An extra 70% from the equipment's magic attack
Increased Health and Mana regeneration rate by 20 points per second

EDIT: No brainer, but, probably doesn't stack with the other buffs

Any news if the normal Celestial Guardian's Seal and the Exalted Renewal will also be 20/s? Cause they're 10/s right now, and the other buffs are perfectly the same.

Also, hooray for new wellspring and VD cyclone. I just think they should make wellspring as powerful as mystic's heal, though. But I can't complain if it can't be interrupted by normal attacks.

Doesn't seem to be the case, didn't spot any new info on those ones.

Well, so far it looks as demon venos are getting nerfed this time (what the heck did we do to deserve this...)

I hope the new skills are offensive skills because they are taking away my 2nd favorite offensive skillb:cry

Desdi - Sanctuary

I do hope they are offensive skills because I think we have enough defensive and support related skills as it is.

Would love it if someone could translate those new skills but it's hard to tell what skill is for what class.

GlenRoss - Archosaur

Should be interesting. I do like the extra hurt that wingspan provides.

skaitavia

May I ask that someone translate the Assassin skill changes for us curious sins?

The first skill looks like Rib Strike, but I can't translate.

Already did that.

Looks like the news about the skills updates got everyone excited. 10 pages added since last night.

I'll compile everything together and see what we can make of it.

While google translate is doing a decent job here, keep in mind it is a machine translation.
We've had mishaps on skill descriptions before.

Says "Genki get to 20". Maybe receive 20 chi instead of 10?

You're right on the money. Genki is one of the words Google translates from chi.

Desdi - Sanctuary

That part was really confusing. I've seen chi being translated as vitality, dollars and genki lol

Anybody attempted to translate the load of "new" skills at the bottom?

Asterelle - Sanctuary

Interesting stuff with the skill changes. Again these are just all the new sections that were added to the skill descriptions file in my PW-CN Test Server client. Who knows what of these are going to make it to the real servers.

BTW in the client I noticed they added a new scripting directory that has in it logic for a grind bot.

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Fx2686ZA

I guess they are adding an in-game botting feature? Anyone heard anything about that? I think other PWI titles have a similar in-game botting. They'd probably disable that when it comes here (but then I thought the same thing about that online dating stuff).

EDIT: Here's a file that describes the auto-bot feature. Activated by F12

Ursa - Dreamweaver

that's one simple bot....

Man - Raging Tide

Yeah Ironwood scarab its a nerf, but imo needed (pesky venos critting 30k on me)

You still get other skills to lower defense to zero!

Barb changes look good, i hope HP buff cooldown is really 2 seconds not 2 minutes. Say goodbye for chi buff for barbs, or a quick rebuff after purge. Surely it must be 2 seconds not 2 minutes

The Swell chance is actually pretty awesome, a constant 50% dmg amp vs bosses you get lots of attacks off onto.

The Wizard barriers change was needed, in TW, wiz can switch for fire barrier to aoe, Or use the water/chi shield before they get to combat or to fill their chi. All 3 will now be good and worth using.

Yeah ironwood was so op because if you used arcane antinomy after it, you could do the damage other classes can do with just one skill and without waiting for a 20% prok. Thank God this skill is going to be balanced!

In the meanwhile wizards will keep using genie skill spark which reduces your fire resistance to 2 digit numbers any time they want. Ironwood is op, spark is not. Gotta love PWs logic.

Looking over Aqua cannon, it is basically a shorter ranged Dragon's breath. With a bit more oomph added to it.

As for Earth Vector, pretty sure the area it came from was to do with the 1-10 versions. So odds are it's not a huge nerf once it goes sage/demon.

The duration of the stun definitely sounds like the level 10 version, and -50% weapon Damage and -10% chance of stunning is a pretty big deal. Sage only adds a bit more base damage with a 50% chance to not cost a spark while Demon increases the AoE by 2 meters (unless there's something we're missing among those notes as a change for them).

Seriously hope this change isn't permanent. This was one of the skills that didn't need to be touched.
