More like hello higher price to skills that can be merged...

To merge skills you need both to be level 11. Many skills that are going to be merged are skills that cost a few coins in the market. Since the merged versions are better, now all the people who don't have them yet, will want them.

Required Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Leap at your foe with an animalistic fury,
dealing base physical damage plus 2825.
Causes the target to bleed for 3 seconds, dealing
an additional 300% of weapon damage plus ??.

Sage version generates 20 Chi.

If I understand this correctly, bm's get another teleport skill, making it much easier for them to get to catch people.

ΦFarstrike

Range 20 Meters
Mana 165
Channel 0.8 seconds
Cast 1.2 seconds
Cooldown 6.0 seconds
Chi Gained 10
Weapon Poleblade, Pike, or Club

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Magically empower your weapon to strike a distant
foe. Deals base physical damage plus 180% of weapon
damage plus 8118. If the target is more than 10
Meters away, it will be stunned for 3 seconds.

Sage version increases damage by 60% of weapon damage plus 1200.

This skill will also allow bms to easily catch up to people.

ΦStar Smite

Range 8 Meters
Mana 165
Channel 0.3 seconds
Cast 0.8 seconds
Cooldown 6.0 seconds
Chi Gained 15
Weapon Poleblade, Pike, or Club、Blade or Sword

Requisite Cultivation Master of Harmony
Throw your weapon at the target. Attacks targets along a 15 meter line,
dealing base physical damage plus 5115.
Also knocks non-player targets back 18 Meters.

Different weapon types yield different effects.
Poleblade, Pike, or Club: Has a 33% chance to stun the target for 5 seconds.
Blade or Sword: Gains additional 35 Chi.

Interrupts target's skill upon a successful hit.

BM's will be able to gain chi very fast now if they use this skill with the correct weapon. Expect bm's to be able to hf more frequently, and use chi-expensive stun locks more easily.


ΦDragon Rising

Range Melee
Mana 140
Channel 0.4 seconds
Cast 1.5 seconds
Cooldown 15.0 seconds
Weapon Axe, Poleaxe, Hammer or Polehammer、Poleblade, Pike, or Club、Blade or Sword

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Wields your weapon at the target, dealing base physical damage
plus 105% weapon damage, plus 5834.
Also paralyzes it for 4 seconds.

Different weapon types yield different effects.

Blade or Sword: Increases the channel time of non-player targets by 50%,
and that of player targets by 100%. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Costs 1 point of Spark

Has a 35% chance to reduce the Spark cost by 1.

This will make stun-locking considerably easier for bms, if they can easily mix in an immobilize as well.

=== WIZARD ===


ΦPyroshell

Mana ??
Channel 0.2 seconds
Cast 0.3 seconds
Cooldown 3.0 seconds
Weapon Unarmed, Magic instrument

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Form a fireproof barrier around yourself,
increasing Fire Resistance by 150%, Critical
Rate by 15%, and Health regeneration by 12
per second. Lasts for 15 minutes.

Only one elemental shell can be activated at a time.

Sage version increases Fire Resistance to 150%.

Wizards just got a 15% damage boost they can easily switch to for a massive attack like a 2 spark aoe (low chi cost means switching barriers is not hard to do anymore) before going back into stone barrier.

ΦGlacial Embrace

Mana ??
Channel 0.2 seconds
Cast 0.3 seconds
Cooldown 3.0 seconds
Chi Gained 5
Weapon Unarmed, Magic instrument

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Form an insulating barrier around yourself,
increasing Water Resistance by 150% and Mana
regeneration by 12 per second. Also generates
10 Chi every 3 seconds. Lasts 15 minutes.

Only one elemental shell can be activated at a time.

Sage version increases Water Resistance by 150%.

Previously, if a wizard could not hit anything, they had difficulty gaining chi quickly. That is all changed---wizards can, using glacial embrace and the new frostblade, gain chi very quickly without anything to hit. I expect wizards to be able to use their chi-heavy skills a lot more often.


ΦFrozen Flame

Range ?? Meters
Mana ??
Channel 2.0 seconds
Cast 1.8 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Chi Gained 30
Weapon Unarmed, Magic instrument

Requisite Cultivation Master of Harmony

weapon damage, plus 9779.

Ice: Slows the target by 80%. Lasts for 6 seconds.
Fire: Has a 50% chance to stun the target for 3 seconds.

Stun time increased to 4 seconds.

Holy **** this hits hard. And it slows 80%. And it stuns. And it gives 30 chi. And it only has a 30s cd. Yikesorama.


=== PSYCHIC ===


ΦGlacial Shards

Range 28.5 Meters
Mana 560
Channel 1.0 seconds
Cast 2.0 seconds
Cooldown 8.0 seconds
Chi Gained 15
Weapon Soulsphere

Required Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Assault all enemies within 6 Meters with razor-sharp
shards of ice. Deals base base magic damage plus
200% of weapon damage plus 8322 as Water damage.
Has a 60% chance to stun targets for 8 seconds.

Sage version increases the stun duration by 2 seconds.

We are so screwed if this is actually a stun. Even if it is just an immobilize, check out the cooldown---psychics can now pull of somewhat of an immobilize-lock, while gaining chi and doing really great damage.


=== ASSASSIN ===

ΦLife Hunter

Range 4.5 Meters
Mana 90
Cast 1.4 seconds
Cooldown 1.4 seconds
Chi Gained 10
Weapon Dagger

Required Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Imbue your daggers with dark magic and thrust them
into your enemy, dealing base physical damage plus
200% of weapon damage plus 11755. Reduces the
target's Attack Rate by 50% for 30 seconds.

Sage version also lowers the target's maximum Health by 10% for 10 seconds.

Just look at that cooldown. Thats right---same as the cast time. Assassins can now spam a single skill which has massive dmg addons. Filler skills for dph? Completely not necessary, replace them all with this guy.

ΦElimination

Range 4.5 Meters
Mana 130
Channel 0.1 seconds
Cast 2.5 seconds
Cooldown 15.0 seconds
Chi Gained 30
Weapon Dagger

Required Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Go in for a killing strike, stunning the target for 3 seconds and
dealing 320% of base physical damage. Causes the target to bleed
profusely for 9 seconds, dealing an additional 935% of weapon damage.

Sage version increases the bleed damage by 35%.

Chi-less stun and massive bleed damage with fairly low cooldown will let assassins stun lock much easier than before.

ΦCursed Jail

Range 4.5 Meters
Mana 290
Channel 0.4 seconds
Cast 2.5 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Weapon Dagger

Required Cultivation Master of Harmony
Attack the enemy's pressure points with a
flurry of precision attacks, stunning the target
for 6 seconds and dealing base physical damage
plus 750% of weapon damage plus 14994. Slows
the target for 10 seconds, reducing speed by 60%.

Costs 2 Sparks.

Sage version has a 50% chance to only cost 1 Spark.

... words do not need to be spoken about how broken this is.


=== VENO ===


ΩRedstone Venomworm

Range ?? Meters
Mana ??
Channel 1.5 seconds
Cast 0.8 seconds
Cooldown 8.0 seconds
Weapon Unarmed, Magic instrument

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Void
Fling a venomous sandworm at the target, dealing base
magic damage plus 300% of weapon damage plus 3578 as
Wood damage. The worm burrows into the target for 10
seconds, lowering its Physical Defense by 40% and
dealing 600% of weapon damage plus 6427 as Fire damage.

Costs 25 Chi.

Primal version has a 25% chance to reduce Physical Defense by 180%.

This demon version is very troublesome. Previously, when a demon veno gave you a physical defense debuff from ironwood, you KNEW that **** was about to hit the fan. However, NOW, you never know until you are hit---is it the 40% debuff, or is it the freakin 180% debuff?! Because you will never know UNTIL you get hit, you have to panic every 8 seconds that a veno uses this on you, because a 180% debuff is strong enough to let even fairly weak physical dds give you a supreme pummeling... not to mention a veno's *own* physical skills, or pet.


ΦStunning Blow

Requires Fox Form
Range 5 Meters
Mana ??
Channel 0.5 seconds
Cast 0.5 seconds
Cooldown 15.0 seconds
Weapon Unarmed, Magic instrument

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Strike the enemy with a
stunning blow, dealing
base physical damage plus
5537 and freezing the target
for 8 seconds. Never misses.

Costs 1 Spark.

Sage version has a 25% chance to consume no Sparks.

How bad this is depends on whether that freeze means 'immobilize', or 'occult-ice-like stun'. If its the latter, then yiiiiikes. 8 seconds is a freakin long time to be stunned when facing anybody, not to mention a veno.


=== BARB ===

ΦMighty Swing

Range Melee
Mana ??
Channel 0.2 seconds
Cast 0.9 seconds
Cooldown 6.0 seconds
Chi Gained 15
Weapon Axe, Poleaxe, Hammer or Polehammer

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Throw all of your weight behind a massive
swing of your weapon, dealing base physical
damage plus 3836. Has a 50% chance to stun
the target for 4 seconds. If the target
is not stunned, it will be immobilized
for 3 seconds. Never misses.

Sage version reduces the cooldown to 5 seconds.

Hullo, escaping from barbs just got waaaaay way tougher. Unless you have anti-movement buff in they are guaranteed to stop you moving from 3-4seconds---fortify is no longer good enough to escape from barb who has caught up to you.


ΦSunder

Requires Tiger Form
Range Melee
Mana ??
Channel 0.6 seconds
Cast 1.7 seconds
Cooldown 30.0 seconds
Weapon Axe, Poleaxe, Hammer or Polehammer, Unarmed

Requisite Cultivation Master of Harmony
Deliver a powerful whirling attack that splatters you with your opponents' blood,
hitting all enemies within 12 Meters. Deals base physical damage plus 300%
of weapon damage and causes the targets to bleed for 9 seconds, dealing an
additional 33415 damage. Heals you over the next 9 seconds, restoring ?? Health.

Costs 2 Sparks.

Sage version restores 8500 Health.

34,000 additional dmg over 9 seconds. Completely legit.


ΦStomp of the Beast King

Range Melee
Mana ??
Channel 0.2 seconds
Cast 0.7 seconds
Cooldown 3.0 seconds
Chi Gained 15
Weapon Axe, Poleaxe, Hammer or Polehammer

Requisite Cultivation Aware of the Myriad
Stomp on the ground with incredible force, throwing
your enemy off balance. Deals base physical damage
plus 5266. Weakens player targets for 6 seconds,
increasing damage taken by skills by 8%. This effect
stacks up to 5 times, resetting the duration with each stack.

Sage version increases Chi generation to 15.

Not sure if anybody noticed this but... welcome-2-40%-amp-on-all-skills-when-barb-is-using-this? Thats freakin scary as hell! Not many classes use auto attacks anymore, so almost everybody can benefit from this debuff, which doesn't cost the barb any chi to apply and is easily stacked up to max amp, and which will likely stack with all other amps.
