[Changes to Existing Skills]
Following changes have been made to effects of base statistics
Poison: Men -> Con
Various abnormal condition effects of other magic skills: wit -> men
Buffs and debuffs concerning elemental resists/weaknesses have been changed to the following:
When skills are of the same elemental attribute, buffs and debuffs will not by applied simultaneously.
When skills are of different attributes, buffs and debuffs can be applied simultaneously.
Debuffs of a certain element have 1 level above the level of buffs of the same element.
In the case of debuffs, its effects become weaker when attacked with skills of the same elemental attribute, but get stronger when attacked with skills of different elemental attribute
MP cost and casting speed of various skills have been changed
Duration, reuse time and success rate of various skills have been changed
Skills that summon items have generally been increased in efficiency
Following changes have been made to Tyrant's totem skills:
Increased MP cost, Refresh time 300 seconds / lasts 120 seconds
Rage / Frenzy skills now apply differently to different weapons
Sword/Blunts: remains same
2h Sword/ 2h Blunts: same, but an added effect of increased accuracy and p.atk
Other weapons: affectiveness of skills reduced
Following changes have been made to the skill Revival:
HP heal power and reuse time has been greatly reduced
The requirement has been changed from 10% HP remaining to 5%
Focus Attack skill has been changed from a toggle skill to a buff skill, and skill levels have been added.
Beserk skills such as Beserker Spirit, Rage of Paagrio now have an added effect of decreased evasion.
Heals learned past lvl 40 such as Greater Heal / Greater Group Heal have been changed from immediate to immediate + over time.
For example, Greater Heal used to heal 100 hp at once, but it will now heal for 50 and the other 50 will be healed over time.
When self-targetted AoE skills are used in peace zones, it no longer affects players other than those in your party or clan.
Doors that previously opened at set times can now be opened through the 'unlock' skill
The range of Clan/Alliance skills have been greatly increased.
Done!
Note: There are some changes that have been made (already) since the preview site. Mana Storm, for example, is now listed only for Bishops. The 'Erase' skill, which is still listed on the official preview site, is curiously not in this list.
I translated in a hurry so I'm sure I've made plenty of mistakes. I'll continue to fix them whenever I notice them or someone points it out.
