I've been translating the changes listed on the patch notes. The new skills are probably incorrect, but from the looks of things Paladins become even greater tanks, Heroes gain a massive amount of DPS for less survivabiltiy, and DrKs gain more raw power. I wish I knew exactly what the new abilities did, but I did the best I could. It's on page 2 of this thread.
I still would like to see:
- Self-Recovery improved. The MP is decent, but 80 HP is hardly 1% of your health when you get it.
- A reason to get Ground Smash and Slash Blast rather than one or the other.
- Power Guard/Power Reflection working on magic attacks (not 1/1).
- Chance Attack being viable in combat (bosses can't be stunned or frozen and rarely put into darkness).
- Effects on Fire/Lightning charge (at least Fire as a DoT or something).
- Sacrifice ignoring PDRate.
- A mobility skill that doesn't require a monster or allowing Rush to work without a monster.
- Uninterruptable stuns on Coma, Shout, and Monster Magnet. Seriously, if Charged Blow can stun 90% of the time, can't you let Heroes have some bonus?
- Fury gaining at least an extra hit when in Dark Force (Berserking).
If I played the other classes, I'd assume I'd figure out more.
As for Panic and Coma (above), Panic can be spammed assuming Final attack triggers every time and it charges 2 orbs every time (via ACA). Coma is not, which is fair since it stuns. I wonder if they still follow the orb rules, as I would hope so since Brave Slash is 675% damage in Chaos. Yes, they hit twice as many monsters and Chance Attack would make their damage better, but in reality you'll rarely get mobs of more than three without Rushing/Pulling them together.
