    To clarify with Psionic Link, it only redirect magic attacks, including an Archer's metal attacks and the like. Any normal attacks with +elemental damage (such as the Archer's Fire Arrow) will not be redirected. Magic DoTs (Torrent, Sand Trap, etc) are redirected. Will test Purge and Amp tomorrow.

    Well it's only 5 seconds... Spawn killing in TW is nothing you cant do with a IG (12 seconds).

    You still have to run to the spawn point after popping ig, so you would've lost a couple of seconds. Even tele jumping would waste at least 2 seconds. Stealthing through lets you go at the full duration.

    Don't think you thought your statement through here.

    In IG yes you have to still go to the people in the spawn area so lets be nice and say takes you 3 secs that leaves 9 secs of fight time

    In double stealth you Still have to activate stealth outside of range of towers to be able to use it to get past them so you'll get 2 maybe 3 secs of kill time


    However if you combine the 2 you have a great advantage, use IG to get in and kill till it runs out and then use the stealth skill to escape from being killed by towers when IG wears off.

    Wait 2 mins for skill to cooldown rinse and repeat (if TW is over by then lol)

    How are you going to kill anything after stealth if the towers target you? I was thinking more like stealth to get in and not get slept/silenced along the way, then start off and pop an ig.

    Assuming you have enough time to use it once ig wears off.

    I was thinking about IG to running in to aoe, then right before IG wears off, AoE stealth so you lose agro on the towers for 4-5 seconds.

    Before the stealth ends Rift would be off CD to let off another AoE. But spawn killing is just mean.

    Sorry for the partial derailing of the thread Ast XD

    Ice Prison is Targetless, pops sins in SZ (Lul) and appears to have an amp, once casted you can move for the remaining duration.

    Due to the 2 minute cooldown and 2 second duration of the 2/3 freeze chance I'm having hell trying to test it however (400-600 ping means by the time I see it and cast, it's gone). I'll get someone to auto attack the sea dragon later with no weapon and work it out.

    It's definitely not damaging however. The "takes 130% dmg" is either a 30% amp or a 130% amp, the wording isn't specific and testing it isn't simple, and the icon is a new one, not a HF one.

    ~I'll post later when I test the amp properly.

    Oh, it looks pretty cool too :P

    hmmmm try it in a less laggy area and have you tryed using a slow skill like your ultis, since ice prison stuns the target 3 times, so lets say u miss the first stun then you have a chance to take advantage of the next stun and amp your attacks. Or maybe it doesn't work like that?

    (when I say stun I mean a freeze since the skill description says it works like a stun, e.g a imobolise with a seal).

    I doubt its only a 30% amp though but imagine 130% amp with a bms hf b:dirty b:cool

    I only had a brief window to test in so I had to test on mobs outside archo :P Didn't think of overcasting and hoping for a proc in time for the hit tho.

    I'll still be testing with a friend later on the dragon since it'll be much easier more solid proof.

    I made an error with my previous post. When I was testing to see if physical attacks were redirected when using Psionic Link, I only tested auto attack, not any physical skills.

    I want to confirm that ALL skills (magical attacks such as Spirit Blast, Ironwood Scarab, etc, and physical skills , such as Heaven's Flame, Draw Blood, Stunning Arrow, etc , and also skills that deal no damage such as Purge and Amp) are ALL redirected to the caster of Psionic Link.

    Sorry about the confusion x_x

    TERRIBLE BAD QUALITY BAD I DON'T KNOW HOW TO YOUTUBE BAD QUALITY.

    You should be able to make out that the veno is using Amp > Stunning Blow > Venomous Scarab, all three of which are redirected to me.

    IIRC, the skill itself was not purged when we tested it because it was redirected to sub, so instead her own buffs were purged if that's what you meant.

    I wonder if you can chain it so that a second psychic can absorb linked damage from the first.
    Also stacking it with the sin skill Death Link could prove humorous.

    Hey all Hey all

    I have one question about the skills who we get in lvl 100. In the first post said that skills can't be traded:
    "The other skills come from the "advanced" supply menu from your order's "lieutenant" under the Tier 2 tab. These skills take much longer to get. They require 3,500 prestige and cost 675 influence (no coins). It will take almost 6 weeks of Divine Quests / other dailies for that order to acquire these books and they can not be traded or account stashed. These have a level 100 requirement but still only require the level 79 cultivation."


    It's true? Or we can trade this skills? if can't , we need stay 6 weeks in Each "Order" for get all skills? x.x
    Someone who get one skill of lvl 100 can answer me?

    The skill is not purged from the person who I use the skill on because that purge is redirected to me, and purges me instead. Haven't been able to see if auto attacking with a purge bow (and purging) will purge the skill or not.

    Also stacking it with the sin skill Death Link could prove humorous.

    As far as I know, I'm the only one with the skill on Harshlands, although I believe a few are pretty close to it. Stacking it seems quite redundant though.

    Won't take you that long to get all the skills. (If you play daily anyways)
    Takes 6 weeks to get the prestige to "start" buying skills with influence. You don't need prestige to "buy" the skills, but you need it to "unlock" them SO you can buy them. (with influence) b:surrender

    Well from what I see in the chinese version I expect an item to be available in the next content update that will cut the time to acquire the new skills almost by half.

    I was pretty surprised it didn't make it into our version in the initial release but the chinese version is still slightly ahead.

    The six week grind is to get the required prestige and influence to unlock the first new skill. However (and I believe this is a common misconception) the influence and prestige isn't "used up" upon acquiring that first skill. After getting the first non tradable skill you can leave that particular order with 95% of your influence/prestige intact... wait a day and then join another order to get a different skill. Then do enough daily quests to regain the 5% lost and voila... second skill is yours.

    will this be a cash shop item, or will this be an item we buy from the order and amps our influence and prestige

    I would almost guarentee it will be a cash shop item like the void reset's. I hope they cost 10silver as well but knowing pwe I wouldn't be surpised if they cost 1 gold.

    Influence is used up. Each Order has their own Prestige/Influence so it will not carry over. You will have to start new.
    so will i haave to pay that 30 mil + my contribution(called what eer) or just my cont. because what that money is standing for? weps are bad. g15 lower dmg than r8 :(

    Yes it is 30m plus Influence.

    And the G15 weapons are actually on par or better [for PvE anyway] than R8 once you factor in Slaying Levels.

    Also, has anyone gotten Arrow Inferno yet? Can they confirm if the "Diminished Vigor" effect goes to your target only, or does it also affect those 8m around your target?

    For PvE, the DPH of g15 bow is comparable to R9 bow (without set bonuses).
