Hi guys,

I am pushing for the correction of all skill descriptions in the game and while I know all of the ones for archer and quite a few of the errors in other classes I can use some extra help.
In this thread I'd like to collect all known errors.

This means typos, poor wording, inconsistent format, or just plain wrong information. Alot of errors are inconsistant wordings such as one skill being
"1.0 second"
"1.0 Seconds"
"1 second".
or
"Requires two Sparks"
"Requires two sparks."
"Requires two Sparks to cast."

Please add all corrections of the form:

CLASS: <class>
SKILL: skill
TYPE: (Error, Typo, Wording, Inconsistant)
<Error info>

    Everything has its beginnings, but it doesn't start at one. It starts long before that... The world is born From zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes 2. 2 becomes 10. 10 becomes 100. taking it all back to one solves nothing. so long as zero remains... One.. Will eventually grow to 100 again.

    Lololol I have the best one, a complete skill description swap

    Class: Cleric
    Skill: ○Stream of Rejuvenation
    Error: Completely wrong Description

    Reads:
    Manipulates ones energy to form the elemental seal. Reduces your magic defences by 1800 of equipment value to reduce the enemies magic defence by 60% of equipment value. Lasts 1800 seconds.

    Should read:

    Sage BIDS description is weird. It says increases your crit % by 30%. Might be better to say it adds 30% crit rate.
    Sins are Scissors. Psychics are Rocks.
    Archers, Venos, Barbs, Wizards, BMs, Mystics, Seekers are Paper.
    ...and Clerics are Mushrooms.
    Paper beats Rock. Scissors beats Paper. Scissors also happens to beat Rock...until Rock gets 50k+ soulforce at which point Rock becomes an unstoppable killing machine that beats Paper... and would beat Scissors but it can't find Scissors, because Scissors are invisible.
    So Scissors beat Paper and avoids Rock, and that is called BALANCE. -cheze

    No, the increases by 30% I would take to mean it takes your current crit rate, does the math to get 30% of whatever your current is, then adds it to your current.

    Meaning if you had a crit rate of 10%, 30% of that is 3% giving you a total of 13% crit.

    If sage BIDS uses the standard crit buff (the one you get from leaf dance, or 3-1 djinn buff) I know from first hand testing that is an additive buff.

    Can someone with Sage BIDS confirm the buff that is granted? Is it that blue pointy ice buff?

    Its been confirmed by: Llama, Miss_Tika, Haiz, Amour and a bunch of other sage mages. Its impossible for it to be 30% of your current crit rate because when it activates you pretty much crit on every target. I doubt a 3%-5% increase will do that. There is a forum i will find the link to.


    EDIT:
    Here it is. Shewes, Haiz and Miss_Tika all confirm it. They also confirm that the crit buff affects the skill itself. which you might want to add. Shewes has 3% base crit and yet she can crit that many times with that skill. She isnt doing that with about 4% crit rate...

    http://pwi-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=302731

    fyi, blue pointy ice buff = water debuff O.o

    Skill: Fox Form
    Type: omission

    According to my character window, my physical attack increases approximately 30% when I go into fox form, but my skill description says nothing about my physical attack.

    Melee mastery only takes effect when in fox form, so you simply forgot to take that into account.

    haven't seen this but I'm glad someone did the necro.

    2 things I want to mention:

    Sage wellspring quaff:
    ●Wellspring Quaff

    Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
    A sip of Nature's Wellspring increases your maximum mana capacity. For 30 minutes
    maximum mana is increased by 60%. Doubles magic attack for 15 seconds.
    Requires one Spark

    Sage version gives a 100% bonus to magic attack.

    Description sucks , it actually gives about 1.2k additional magic dmg which is actually the dmg that my +7 Neon has. So it should be something like 100% of weapon damage for 15 secs and stacks with other dmg increase buffs. I haven't tried yet to see if it stacks with spark/tripple spark


    ●Black Ice Dragon Strike
    Range 30.0meters

    Requisite Cultivation Master of Harmony
    Focus one's energy to summon a water dragon that soars up to the sky and smashes onto the target
    and
    all surrounding enemies. Target and enemies in a 12.0 meter radius around target
    suffer
    water damage equal to base magic damage plus 500% of weapon damage plus 13955.0.

    Has a 95% chance to slow enemies by 60% for 8.0 seconds and has a chance to increase magical critical hit rate.

    Sage version gives a 50% chance to increase magic critical hit rate by 30% for 10 seconds.

    Description on ecatomb at least is incorrect. It increases the magic critical rate by 30. When crit procs (I use this skill on group of mobs ofc) at least half of them are hit with a crit and I've been lucky enough to fire out 6 consecutive crits (on linus) after the crit proc - Bids+ gush/pyro/gush/pyro/gush or as this morning happened to clear room 49 in less than 15 seconds critting basically on every single mob. The crit proc is not shown in the character status window, but I had 13% crit for a while and this never happened. Since I have BIDS, it happened a lot
