    Nothing too unexpected except demon rib strike =D. Pure awesomeness.

    I feel like Demon Maze Steps and Tackling Slash are more like nerfs than useful upgrades. I rather have precision than longer durations.

    Kinda like both. none "suck" sage/demon compared to me. but will probly go demon, but a few skills i wont ever make dmeon, cos suck, or high chance to suck lol.

    me want the 10% hp debuff / attack increse lol.

    combined with demon spark, then yea i prefer demon.


    btw demon focuses mind.
    Demon: "Dodge with 10% of the damage effects" (unknown) --- could it mean 10% chance to reflect negative status back to attacker ?
    I'm sorry for misspelling / mistyping and grammar b:surrender

    Demon it is, but thats nothing new. Shadow TP adds 2 seconds stun? Thats awesome. And ribstrike the new STA (almost), wow. Archers are going to be mad at us.

    The sage wolf emblem is very nice though, even though it reduces to 20%, but not good enough to go sage IMO.

    Demon Tackling Slash is interesting to me. Could be great for PVP and make a bow worth while. Imagine being able to immobilize a BM/Barb for 20+ seconds and stand back and shoot em. If it fails, shadow escape and try again. Or use the LVL 99 daggers (i think) that increase range by 2 meters (I think again). You could be outside of most of there attacks (neither classes have very many ranged attacks) and just go to town for 20 seconds. Just a thought.

    Me thinks these skills are going to be insanely expensive when they come out.

    Very nice skills on both sides to the point I actually will have to think a lot on my choice but thankfully I'm not close yet to choose my path b:chuckle

    Rib Strike on sage seems nice too... 65% less attack speed, looks kinda anti-demons with their huge att speeds. Even a 5 atk per sec monster will get reduced to 1.75 "only", not bad imo.

    Although I really crave for 5 sec Shadow Teleport stun b:dirty

    So I see the sage and demon choices but did they add those without adding any 79 skills?

    As for the choice between demon and sage I can see that the sage skills more certainty/consistency while the demon skills provide for an element of uncertainty. Demon sins look to be quite powerful IF their demon effects proc. Question is if you decide to go demon:

    Do you feel lucky? .......

    How does sage have unlimited sprinting? If you add up the demon benefits demons sprint better by 1 second assuming you get the demon maze step -.-.

    Those are pretty useful especially Shadow Teleport but I'm not sure I can pass up demon spark for them.

    Honestly I like Sage better atm. It seems to have a more solid garuanteed effect than Demon does.

    But then again the Demon Triple Spark + Demon Rib Strike = Dead Target

    I did the same thing. 30 second cool down is very nice and sage does have some really great skills.

    I think it comes down to this, do you want to be a sparker or skill spammer. A skill spammer with CotD would probably benifit more from Sage, while a high DPS sin would want demon.

    This actually makes my choice tough because I recently fell in love with CotD and use it everytime I solo. However, in parties, I still like to go for high attack rate, so I am actually a little torn between the two right now.

    3% bloodpaint is awesome, but demon rib strike is amazing. However, I doubt I could afford this skill book and going for high spike damage might be the way to go for a cheaper end game, yet still highly effective sin (I'm not poor, but most certainly dont have hundreds of millions of coin.

    a warning to anyone thinking of going sage because shadow teleport is reduced to 30 second cooldown: there are a couple sage/demon wizard skills that SAY they reduce channeling from like 3 seconds to .4 lol, but the descriptions are wrong. it decreases by, so channeling is 2.6 (the numbers i just made up but you get the idea.) shadow teleport probably just reduces the cooldown to 150 seconds, based on my experience. but who knows, it could actually be 30 xD we'll just have to wait and see i guess.

    ok youre prcious demon spark combo is broken. theres no Chill on it and your missing the 10% attack from dagger devotion. you do that and ill go sage and skill spam with 45% more attack (since you wont have chill on) ill also have the defense increase with sage spark.

    flame me all you want. sage is way better. im not going to argue it anymore though. i hope most sins go demon

    what's broken with demone spark combo?
    demon dagger does suck.. make it +3% crit rate and we can call it even..

    I don't understand why people would go sage. They have some nice skills but none are really better than an endless demon spark. The damage difference at end game is huge. There's no point to lower cooldown on stuns when you can't kill anything. The only reason why people should go sage is if they plan to stop at ~89 in which case sage might be the better path.

    Well both sides have great skillz... well cept maybe the deamon tackling slash (50% chance... hell with that =)<no pun>). I went deamon long time ago hoping theyd atleast give me a spark, originally i wanted sage just for toughness rather then dmg I like the extra atk speed reduction and really more atk lvl while being able to drop their def 50% on top of genie amps I really wish I woulda went sage like i originally was trying to hold out for. Meh but what do I know =)

    1% does seem a bit low but 3% is a bit high. i'd settle for 2% like barbs get.

    as for radd_ratt, physical classes have always been like this:

    got money to spend? demon>sage

    don't got money to spend? sage>demon

    yes sages +~50 att levels is great for skill spamming.

    it takes about 2 seconds to use 1 skill.

    a sin with full -int gear has a base 4 APS. thats 8 Attacks in the time it took you to use 1 skill

    thats pretty broken and far greater in damage than your sage attack power

    even at 3.33 APS it'll be higher

    sage has some amazing skills. demon also has some amazing skills.

    In the end it comes down to how much are you going to pay on this game?

    well, even if Dagger Devotion sucks a bit..
    looking at the skills i use the most(rib & stuns).. i'd rather have longer stun effect..
    you probably woun't be able to sage/demon all of them anyways..
    but if they do cut down Shadow Tele's CD TO 30secs.. it will be Sage for me.. yeah b:victoryb:victory

    IF(that's an IF.. and i highly doubt they will do it) it is 30 sec..
    together with headhunt.. in the span of 180sec you would have killed more squishies than being able to use it once in the same amount of time..
    so think and read before you call names on someone.. uhmmm.. damass b:surrender

    unlike most sins who exhaust all their effort and brain in killin HA..
