I was playing on the China server and it seems the absorbing normal damage is a perm thing. When in monkey form i kept taking 1 damage.

Yes, it's a passive skill for the monkey form, really cool btw

Yuh. The class is very broken as they have Shattering Scream (Edgerunner teleport skill) With no Cooldown and it takes 0 chi lol. I could post the sage and demon version of the skills but don't have the translation as my friend cannot translate the game terminology.

So basically a more efficient sin. Well if it can be stunlocked…. Wait nvm it’s a Wu Kong it’s a troll class so that’s out of the question. Well, atleast it will circumvent make technicians leaps.

Funny enough it is 2 skills at once. You leap first about 2-3 meters similar to the archer skill (Leap left) then it applies the teleport skill for 5 seconds. Will upload all the new classes skill on YouTube when am done in a day or two.

Can you rephrase that?

Sorry about that confusion. Video should explain it better. https://youtu.be/Duyfn88Ugjk
Leap 1 meter>5 seconds to port to target.

Embrace animation is like Barb where you just pet it.

Think what most of us want to know is this class considered strong in China.Not so much activity on this forums so gotta be on point sry. Is it considered broken?Is is worth investing money into once it comes here?From what ive seen so far its promising but since its a LA class i dont trust it yet since LA is by default weak unless it can bypass the squicyness somehow.I would consider investing in such a class but at this point i want to make sure its really worth considering the state of the game.

Looking at this latest expansion its clear that the skill
''balancing'' is targeted at the already existing playerbase since not that many new players. Make a few classes broken so that people reroll spend money and keep other classes ''the most played ones'' with non deciding changes so that they eventually have to stop playing those and go for something else or quit.Just look at BM 1 min faith?Now thats something.Those are skill upgrades that actually matter.Meanwhile look at archer 70% crit from galvanic charge when most archers already have 90-100% with quickshoot.Thats a joke.From what ive seen archer is a class really common in China maybe even the most played one prolly because a decade ago it used to be good and its confortable to play and people stuck with it . Not that many BMs tho...you get the point now people reroll BMs cash keep flowing.

So the only viable and somewhat sure option to still invest in this game is when a new class comes out because even if it will get nerfed at some point its basic skills wont really change and its gonna stay broken for a while.So please if you can keep us updated with how this class behaves in pvp.Thank you.

Managed to talk to most people in the China server and they have concluded that the new class is the best currently in PVP when it comes to 1v1 and it's worth investing in.
PVE Aspect: Not so helpful as they lack debuffs that affect the boss. Would be better to pick a sin over the new class when forming a squad.

How is the Monkey when its coming to a Mass PVP? Like 15v15 or 10v30 or something?
Do it have just Attacks for Melee-Range or Distance-Range aswell?
Since you played it now a bit longer, is the Class making Fun for you?

When we expect to get the Monkey on the PW International Servers?

I know this is a Wu Kong threat but I couldn’t pass the chance to ask a few questions to someone who knows active players on that version.

1) Based in the “skill rebalancing” as they like to call it, I assume classes like veno,bm, wizard shot up in popularity based on PWI China channel videos. Are some older newer classes dwindleding in the population? We all know duskblades are rare there like they are here and I’m assuming stormbringer dying out with the nerf of vortex but are any other classes dwindling?

2) This rebalance was highly focused on giving massive buffs to 4 specific classes so at this point a lot of us are hoping they either nerf or give big updates to other classes as well that are comparable. Is there any talks about another skill update very soon? This update was really …… if you aren’t and don’t plan to play bm, seeker, sin, veno.

3) Regarding the WuKong, how is it in pvp outside of fun? To elaborate, practical mass pvp you are likely getting hit by 3-4 ppl at once realistically, can the WuKong just basically roam about like a sin in tidal dropping whatever it wants or does it have high cc/damage but have a counter such as it can be cc’d and nuked fairly easily. From what I’ve seen their ape for damn near can’t die in pve but how effective is that in pvp?

Sorry for the long drawn out parts!

"I know this is a Wu Kong threat" 😂 Made me laugh thanks for that.

1) Before the skill balancing classes like Veno and BM were already popular compared to wizards. After the rebalancing, we can slightly see an increase in wizard players but not at a high amount. Stormbringer is still played but not as much also duskblades don't exist. Most played classes are as following Blademaster>Archers>Veno>Seeker>Sin>Barb>Clerics>Wizard>Every remaining classes left. (Excluding Wukong from the list to early to say)

2) Any future skill update? I would not know sorry but i'll ask around.

3)How is Wukong in mass pvp? They can't roam like sins so you would have to play the class like a hawk. The class dies to crowd control if it's getting ganked . They have high damage and high cc but like you mentioned they get counted by CC.

To sum up Wukong:kill it before the cc ends or get stunned for 15sec from one skill

15 seconds from one skill!? I hope that’s single target Jesus…. Honestly surprised how low seeker is on the totem pole there given on our version seeker literally counters upgrading gear in of itself. Blademaster and veno given the upgrades, no surprise there lol. Archers have been getting more and more powerful as they started nerfing the nightshade race (both classes have been on the decline in past couple years so I’m glad to hear that’s consistent there). Barbs exist on that version though? Barbs are one the rarest class in pvp here wow lol. Clerics have gotten a lot of upgrades so that’s no surprise.

Questions:

Nevertheless I’m surprised psychic isn’t high up there given the last skill upgrade they are nuking ppl left and right now. Hell techs not being high on the list is also a surprise. Do you think it’s a preference thing or given the fact (based on the PW China videos) a lot of ppl have g17 armor so you want toons that can tank and deal dd? That would make sense based on the classes you said with high popularity. High flexibility (maybe except barb here) and can tank well.

Besides veno and wizard honestly arcanes have been on a downhill in my opinion based on upgrades, how do the CN players feel there?
Are they hoping arcanes get snapped back or they don’t have much issues there like we do here?


Are range or melee the preferred class to kill them? I know they can leap very far spamable even, but does their buffs/skills leave room to for range or melee to sufficiently counter? I know wukongs in every game are known to be mischievous and basically get out of everything so curious who can even deal with this class effectively lol. So far it sound like a sin, bm would do fairly well against them.

1. It's more of a preference thing. Psychic just take too much work to kill someone when other classes can do it faster same with Tec.
2. I would have to ask people.
3. Both tbh as long as they have a good CC setup. But effectively sins with tidal should handle them.

The wukong skills, at least in description and from what ive seen in videos are a bit broken as for mass pvp wukong seems to do fine they can just run arround pick targets and destroy them.And they dont really get focused because either people know to litle about them or they just like to focus the usuall class suspects.Im guessing its still easier to CC and deal with those.

As for our version im expecting the same thing to happen as when tech/edge came out.So no g16 weapons maybe no jones blessing i do hope they leave everything else as it is meaning they can still wear g16 LA set or a personalized r9 set.And regarding dustfall ultimate artifact( items that allow you to go r8rr->boundless) i saw them beeing mentioned somewhere.Do you really think pwi gonna allow that npc here? I mean we still didnt get the rent g17r5 weapons npc...because reasons...that have nothing to do with money whatsoever...hmm.We got those dustfall items in game but i wouldnt get my hopes up for the NPC.Skipping r9r3 all together?hmm nope dont think thats gonna happen..because well...it would make our pwi life easier and we cant have that
As for most common classes in China i do believe tech is way higher on that list simply because they are well...better archers...pew pew for far away?sign me up.Have to take into consideration the playerbase when you think about common classes there and here.There mass pk is very much alive they pk for hours straight because idk some dude took another dude's vit mob spot so they call 3 factions to help out...thats how things go down there...here mass pk is dead.So people rather main 1vs1 classes that can also be usefull in pve thats the win formula here.Prolly why sin is so popular here.A class usefullness changes in mass pvp archers are weak in 1vs1 but in mass pvp they're way more usefull and more fun to play same goes for other classes too.

So ima take a wild guess and put these as an attack based class, over defensively based due to their 'sin-like' playstyle - i.e attack shards instead of defense, in-terms of PVE, that really doesn't come into it, its a DD and once they get geared like every other DD class, debuffing doesn't come into it its sad they don't have a specific 'role' but lets be fair tech/edge dont really have one either.... sure they both have PDef reductions but its not 'required' since we have a bunch of other classes that do all that too, edge HF is kinda meh, even though it helps when there is no BM but again, the chances youll be without one of those in a run you need....

The one thing im curious about is the 'block' mechanic, ik its been mentioned in thread before, and forgive me for being slightly stupid on this, but that does obviously count for PVP? it has no CD (almost like a passive Dmg Reduction buff) ?

The other thing would be: is this class worth g17ing? fully gear and weapon - I understand this is a personal preference but if you had the money to G17 it, would you? - and ofc once any class goes G17 they are naturally 'OP'
