New Skills in the Next Expansion

The physical/magical penetration has a different mechanic than the classic defence debuffs we've had so far. I think at least. A 40% phsyical debuff, like that of a Cleric, doesn't actually reduce the person's defence in the way people imagine it. Likewise, a Venomancer's 100% debuff from Myriad doesn't reduce a person's defence to 0 like one may think. In fact, with the passives and all that, a 100% debuff is really not that strong (unless lower gear etc.).

Create a swift psionic blade to

attack enemies from afar, dealing

base physical damage plus 6747.

Has a 66% chance to give double range? for 3sec.



Sage+demon versions same as they are now.



I think that was meant to say 66% chance to stun for 3 seconds and release the attack twice or double the range.. not sure about that second part.. but I am sure about the 3 seconds being a stun.

If this translation is correct: FELLOW FISHIES!!!!

The mysterious disappearance of Level 1(poorly translated)

Mana: 225
Instantly
Cooldown: 5.0 min.
Weapon: Daggers
Required to Cast: nine-soul (an item from the new dungeon)

For 8 sec. killer lurking in the shadows, and its level of secrecy is increased by 12. Does not allow to beat inviz for 2 seconds, immediately rolls back the throw, but reduces attack speed by 200%.
>>>> Feel free to make it better to understanding.

Does this last one mean... 8 seconds of some kind of shadow escape + share the stealth but for 8 seconds and lvl12?? and the 2 seconds after unstealth you are untargetable? also moving like a slug? -shrugs-

used a few different sites trying to understand it. from what i understood, it lasts for 8 seconds, increases your stealth level by 12, after you become unstealthed you reenter stealth for 2 seconds and your attack rate is reduced by 200%

WERE IS BM SKILLS OMG

Is there any info about how do we upgrade the skills ? from New instance ? Housing ? Dailies ? or else ?

Google translate of SB skills are certainly...creamy

@catgirldesu

So the skill is like one of the old FF Summons maybe. What I still dont get is how can a veno select the pet she want if she can.
If the veno can actually select what pet (effect) to use on that attack then is really cool but if is something random then Im not so sure about it.
Still Im hyped since veno is my main, so thanks for sharing the video.

Also I dont think is necro, after all the posts before yours is like two weeks old maybe and necro would be one month or more if Im not wrong.

This video is from Perfect World Pay-to-play version (完美世界) not Perfect World International （完美国际）, they are two different games with similar contents, so we might expect to get something slightly different.

The Venomancer didn't have any pets out. The pets must be just a visual effect. Besides, the battlebot pet is an all-class non-battle pet. The devs aren't that crazy to make us buy it. And there is no word of a new Venomancer pet.

The 100% mdef debuff is really not that strong nowadays with the passives and all. We already have it from Myriad Rainbow. Granted, it's a chance proc, but it's not that threatening. Though, I can see how this skill can be threatening if you combo it with other classes, or just Demon Parasitic Nova & DD I guess.

Cast & channeling time is 5 seconds though. The skill is flashy too, so I could see people using AD/Faith to avoid dying/purging. Well, maybe Faith won't work, who knows, but AD should. Not trying to downplay the skill, but there should be a couple of counters.

Cooldown is 5 minutes if I recall correctly. I think people were also saying it requires and consumes an item from the house dailies (or instance?) so you'll probably not see this skill getting spammed. That is unless farming said items is super easy. Otherwise, if items are scarce, these super skills will be used in special situations, like coordinated attacks.

To me it would be weird if you could cast a skill that would call forth ur pets to use certain effects on the target...when you dont even have that pet ^^ I would be prepared for the worst if I were you

Also the 100% mdef debuff shudnt be underestimated, as it gets paired with the purge in a single skill, that wud make the targets extremely vulnerable, despite the primal passives. For demon veno's Id imagine a big nova + the new skill followed up by Noxious gas and AoEs from other classes will be extremely deadly which is really cool for venos since they've been lacking any type of real kill pressure for years

I see this as a team-oriented skill for coordinated attacks. Unless the player(s) use(s) genie/pot to survive they should generally be dead in a well coordinated combo. I was talking more along the lines of not overestimating the debuff in a solo situation. Though it is definitely a deadly combination even when going solo. I'm not counting the G17 weapons and zerk crit procs and such, because those will probably take a while to pop around.



Now I'm really curious to find out if;

Getting stunned/interrupted/ etc. interrupts the skill or the effects continue until they are done.

You can AD halfway through the skill and avoid the rest of the debuffs or they go through.

You can Faith halfway through the skill and avoid the rest of the debuffs or they go through.

From what I can see isn't it almost completely identical to primal quadrature (the db skill)? By which I mean the debuffs are good but you can't really make good use of them personally due to the very long cast time. Well that and the animation having some similarities.

Honestly I think this gets used 90% for the big aoe purge. In terms of other debuffs primal quad I think might actually be better and has a shorter cast time.

The only other major use I think is likely is if people make a combo with the mdef debuff that puts people at 0 m def. I don't think we have the aoe m def debuffs for that to work well however.

all i saw in pwcn forum, most complain is wiz's distance shrink is too OP.

stealth + very short cd.

Stealth is one of the most annoying skill in this game, and now they're giving it to yet another class. The original distance shrink itself is already annoying, no wonder the cn forum complains about it.

The name is distance shrink which imo refers to approaching target, but most wizzies use it for kiting or escaping. It can even be used to kite ranged classes, on the ground and while flying, and now it has stealth too ><"

@kittyempressa
the mobs in PV100+ doesnt care if you stealth, they can still see you. (at least at Lv103, doubt Lv105 would be different)​​
