    You know how Wizard's Gush makes a giant screen-filling blast of water when used against a large enemy? Well Mystic's Nature's Vengeance is like that but worse. RIP everyone's frame rate.

    Clerics got a lot of new animations for expansion. IH looks completely different and their chromatic heal/IH turned into attacks have really neat animations too.

    Mystic's NV has a new animation that will lag the **** out of the squad on huge bosses now though ._.

    About these healing skills that become attacks, does anyone know how to answer this?

    Silent Seal - Glyph Golden

    Chromatic Seal - Glyph Golden

    Stream of Rejuvenation - Glyph Argent

    Chromatic Healing Beam - Glyph Argent

    Wellspring Surge - Glyph Argent

    Ironheart Blessing - Glyph Argent

    When will you use these skills on anyone over the effect of the Chromatic Seal, will it cancel the sleep?
    These skills will go through the damage reduction effect, for example, the invoke the spirit of barbarian?

    I wonder if Stormbringers get new animations too. I did the culti and learned that the next quest after getting Chaotic soul is to get 10m per skill you want to learn. They aren't even that interesting on SB, unlike Mystic unfortunately I haven't done any dailies on my Mystic in years...so I'm years behind on blood etc.

    I have 7m right now, so it will be a loooooooong time until I even learn all the new skills lol.

    At least you need to learn them only once. 100mil for endgame or well equipped pvp character is about nothing. If you are not endgame and this sum is formidable for you, you can skip skills. They are not that necessary to learn.

    I'm deeply annoyed by the new Venomous scarab animation. By its earth shaking effect to be exact. Is there any point to spam suggestion box? normal-20.gif I suspect they would do something with it if there were enough complains from China players. And since a lot of time has passed and we got this update, I guess we have to get used to it or gtfo. Do chinese devs or at least alfa-beta testers try to play for venos at all? monkey-14.gif

    I tried IH and Chromatic Seal so far and they behave like normal attacks (cancels sleep, doesn't bypass damage reduction buff). Though I feel like sleep is shorter now after upgrade, maybe I'm just imagining things...I did a test and tried sleep 10 times, 3 out of 10 times it lasted ~25 seconds, every other time it lasted ~15 seconds. The duration seems kinda fixed to me...has it always been this way? monkey-16.gif

    What you mean "at least you got change"? tiger-16.gif It sounds like new animation itself is an advantage, but I'm saying exactly opposite: that I don't want such change. I'd better keep my old plain animation if I could. Believe me, it's a very annoying effect to have on the most spammable skill. To the degree when you don't want to cast it once again.

    I wouldn't mind having seeker's CD-lock effect ani made super-flashy and obvious, like Veno's ult. That thing destroys mystic more than anything else when well timed :/.

    I understood the meaning monkey-47.gif But I mean I'm sure you'd rather keep the same exact thing than change if the change is for the worse.

    Overall with the new animations or lack if I paid 10m/50m spirit (which can be hefty for some) to upgrade it at least give me something because its lame seeing others test their newly animated skills while yours though upgraded still looks old. Everyone wants the new flashy toys too ijs.

    As terrible as the skill/glyph choices are for SB to begin with I just tested it and my Ice Bullet gets its stun reduced to NOTHING when it uses an Argent glyph. Sadly its the only lv3 glyph I have, and all the argent options suck already but it actually RUINS the skill to get that alleged boost in damage in reaper form.

    I took off the glyph and I was back to business. Guess I'll learn Thunder Strike instead then and hopefully find someone willing to trade glyphs for literally anything but Argent ones I keep getting..

    @dregenfox sorry I meant changes spellcheck on phone said chances. Meant changes in animation relax guys xD also idk if I am or not I don't know if it's just me but I can't even see rankings at all didn't ask ppl figured it's all of us but I really wouldn't. Know what the rankings look like I just go in for the pk atm not too into the ranks structure or know how other squads doing besides the NP sin squad who's kinda like just deleting me lol @eirghan

    By the bonus system I'm curious because of the 15% system if for example the best set of for skills for me is Dragons might and sin has Martial prowess (not just for db any class vs sins) with all the damage multipliers sins already have plus paralyze once we get the other half of cultivation even the non NP sins will just be GG you can even watch china videos were sins just cursed jail 5 sec paralyze cancel and just aps stuff to death arcanes included now Ik diff game diff style ect ect but I'm sure we can all agree sin damage is very powerful in terms of burst damage I mean come on a possible 600% lifehunter with near no CD is pretty strong and I'm curious how the system will change them and others >.<
