New Expansion in CN

Korren, is there anyway to confirm if Tian Yu Purple Night Dance descriptions is correct?, because if it is then the metal mage mode is utterly useless, the boost is just lame, are you sure is not "increase metal damage dealt by %" instead? This mode gives a weaker bonus than demons spirit gift it just can't be right.

Tian Yu Purple Night Dance: Transform into metal mage mode!!! unable to heal, increase 60%-100% weapon dmg.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply, I didn't know it was beign released in so few hours, I wonder if it will hit us this month, yes will do so thanks again.

PWE hasn't said anything about this expansion, it's highly unlikely it will come out this year.
Better to expect it around March again than hope it'll be here by new years.

Then what will happen after 10h?

I assume about 9 hours from now, new patch with files will be released for chinese version, from there the files can be looked at and we can look at the new content.

If you mean if anything will happen here for pwi, nope.
Pwe has no plans whatsoever for the expansion as of now.

ye, the description is right, increase % weapon attack. How is it possible to incrase metal dmg-_-, i mean, if it does increase metal dmg by 100%, u can just 1shot almost every r9+12 players with a crit. just compare this skill to veno's skill: fox form.

these new cleric skills are purely made for PvP. if u dont PvP, these skills are useless for u.

I dont get it, how is this useful in pvp, the bonus seems too small to have any major effect, and disabling your heals seems more like a drawback than anything else, unless there is a hidden effect that I dont know about.

And a release date of Dec 7 for the expansion

That release is for the public test server and not the main servers.

Ah I see...
Would you know by chance which servers are the test servers, and how to get to them (if it's possible)?

EDIT:
Nevermind, I think I got it figured out.

The point of the new transform skill is to enable u to use all the new skills, not just that dmg increase.

The new healing debuff will stop your targets HP revovery including HP charm.

all you need to do is sleep / seal / SoG your target, spam hp debuff on him, then drop 100% of his HP, and hes dead, heal doesnt work ,charm doesnt work, simple and easy.
While other class have to kill their target w/in 10sec be4 their charm tick.
also, cleric has a new 'soulburn' skill, make those APS classes take heavy damage when they try to attack u.

I disagree with everything you said. And keep in mind that I dont care about cleric new skills that much. This is how I see this stuff:

The main problem with Purple Dance/Transformation is that by itself is not a useful boost considering the drawback, for example why dont they make a time wizard mode that disables ultis for wizard, but it allows them to cast the new skills? Unfair is not it?. The damage increase is barely noticeable.

Now if you cast it for the new skills, lets check them out:

The soulburn skill deals physical damage instead of magical, and also activates by a not so high percentage, pretty sure melee APSers could not careless (sins have tidal protection anyway) because their defense is not low and the reflect will not be that high due their high defense, also because the target wont endure long enough anyway.

Also about the prevent HP recovery curse sure its nice but I doubt it will be either fast cast/ fast cooldown/high HP healing prevention, so spamming it is probably impossible, at most it will give clerics 10 seconds more to kill a target but is most likely that the cleric will die first anyway, they are poor dder and Metal Transformation not gonna help that much.

The AOE version of the HP curse will get you dead as its probably self centered and casting it will draw everyone's attention toward you, and its most likely that you can't make it close enough.

So thats it, the +15% crit debuff is nice, so is the no exp lost on dead, the rest not at all.

And the dreaded nerver by 6 seconds skill is also useless, seriously only 6 seconds? lol.

So in all I consider clerics to get the worst new skills by far. Definitely my archer stealth is better skill alone than all of the clerics new skills combined.

In no way is this an official posting of the actual skill info. When the PWE staff posts it, then you'll know for sure.

but we dont wanna wait half a year

b:sweat sir, you are way too greedy. you do know your are playing a supporting class right?

or maybe you are looking for a class called 'GM'.

I like how pissy people are getting over rough skill name translations.

Stupid GM's! If you're going to release new content at least do it so that it reflects every single desire of the player-base!

gm =/= dev

gm = admin
dev = developer

You will know when there is an official announcement. Noones gonna tell you before that

be patient ladies

Just switch to metal mode for the 2 debuffs then turn normal again. I can't think any other reason to remain in MM as you got less hp and can't heal. It's a lame skill but lets wait and see how it turns out
