Best set for Sorc

You'd be wrong there. I dont know why people keep spreading around lies about sm getting nerfed.
New buff
Soul King:
Increases your Magical Acc, Magic Boost, Magic Suppression by 200, 200, 500 respectively for 2min.
Your Max HP, Speed and Magic Attack power increases by 30%, 10%, 10% respectively as well.
When you summon a spirit this buff will disappear.

The much confusion on Spirit sub being removed...yes but....
Soul Protect:
Orders the spirit to protect a caster within 15m. The spirit receives all the damage in place of the caster that lasts for 2 minutes. Cooldown 5 minutes.

it actually only got more op lol

And the new AOE:
Energy Sink
Deals 100 damage every 3 seconds for 30 seconds to a maximum of 6 targets and absorbs the inflicted damage as HP and MP. Cooldown 3 minutes.

In short when they dont have their pet out you will never touch them cus +10% speed buff ...Dispels remove scrolls.....Chain of earth slows bb.
Along with very naughty cd reductions on all the op skills so come again.


Also a quick edit if you didnt know we got new chain skills ...Ritual push is now instant casted after weaken spirit...can u say 4-6k instant damage? ... oh and we still have command bodyguard ;3 on top of that new sub

 

@vesiinabox It appears that my judgment stemmed from thinking Fear Shriek had become a single target spell which is, after double checking, apparently wrong.

Edit: Also note that this Soul Protect is the special stigma of the Spirit-oriented build. While it doesn't concern you Sielans it has weight.

 

Yes i know that but i was speaking from Siel's point of view...it will have Spirit sub twice as much as before

and also bards got nothing but increases its just scary thinking about the implications of this update on siel in all seriousness.
I mean look at this shit.
Protective Ode: PvP Defense increaed to 40%. Blocks Magical/Physical Damage. (never removed skill in mix fight now lolol)
Mvt. 4 Winter: CD reduced to 3min.
Bright Strike Chain: Becomes Instant Cast.
Fiery Descant: CD increased to 30sec. Charge times reduced. Chains into Sonic Splash.

Fiery Requiem: Chains into Sonic Splash. (yea that thing that currently hits for like 8k) and then the new charge skill that takes its place
Illusion Requiem:Inflicts 5176 Magical Fire damage on a target. 3 Stage Charge. 1min CD >_> ...oh and charge skills are affected by cast/ attack speed now so it wont take long to cast. Basically sleep > charge skill >1 shot.
Staggered Rest: CD reduced to 2min
Quaver: Changes to instant cast, no longer a chain skill. 30sec CD (silence)
Minstrel's Flair: CD reduced to 1min (that dp nuke that will half hit your hp....yea)
Chorus of Blessing: CD reduced to 1min from 10min. Instantly heals 2952hp. Dispels 2 abnormal status. Boosts healing by 10% for 15sec. (That aoe heal that is op as fk)
Dance Off: Range increased to 7m. Duration increased to 6sec
Thronesong: CD reduced to 30sec. For 30sec increases Magical attack by 15%, Magical Accuracy by 100 and Physical Attack by 50, of you and party members within a 25m radius.

Among other things that arnt quite worth my time finding...

New skill Buff
Song Of Warmth: New Greater Stigma. 3rd chain off of Soothing Melody Chain. 24sec CD. Instantly heals for 1812hp. For 30sec Elem Def/MR increase by 100, Max HP increased by 1500, Boosts healing by 10% of you and party members within a 25m radius.

 

shingxiao ftw

 

That's just the new skills. Can't use the first one if you intend on having a spirit shield. Not even viable in pve since the pet does insane damage there.
2nd skill will be on the same cooldown with bodyguard 100000000000% and you can just consider it won't exist
3rd skill is pathetic damage, healing and mp regen. Does half of sandblaster's damage which iiiiiis what ? 150 in pvp. so 80 hp and 80mp heal per person, only decent in a zerg... except the part where there'd be a zerg fighting you and everyone targets sms first.

Tl;dr - dogshit, dogshit, dogshit


As for the nerf to sms and people in korea crying/selling their shit: Buff removal skills now prioritize your debuffs over the enemy's buffs (meaning it will remove your dots first, even if your enemy has a thousand buffs on him) So people are pretty much forced to play like our shitty br/pinoy sms who start with buff removal. Easiest counter is to just rush into the sm buffless, wait for him to pop a few dots, use your buffs and he'll actually cleanse you, gg.
Spirit hypnosis/hand of torpor deleted

 

Lol yes but it's auto learned on stigma now which was my point. Who the fk pves? That self buff is super fking op and they will have it the entire 3 mins sub is on cd. That whole debuff thing doesn't matter if you play correctly in the first place. They won't even need to dispel a second time with the added op nuke chain. Oh we'll and yes go ahead rush an sm without buried ud he will lock silence and kill you in 10 seconds

 

Huwaw! Need to learn a lot.

 

Defencive preparetion 25% pvp def and fear resist. Gl killing anything in 10 seconds with a scrub damageless class now.

 

It got damage increased damage lol. How u gonna break stone skin in defence prep lol and it won't make much difference especially with such a large increase in magic power.

 

def prep for surviving the first 10secs with the precious silence, after that slaughter > UD > sw and kill

 

You mean while you are bound and when the nukes start? Lol gg

 

will both spirit sub skills share a cd ?

 

nukes are in the start like you said, unless the sm is a complete fucktard who just silences and drools at the screen for 10seconds. Then i'd just pot that bullshit and squish him, duh

 

They should

No it's dots silence root debuff dot nukes + soul torrent bind if needed then nukes to finish off

 

aand that's how you remove your own silence and root, thanks, now let me just heal and insta 5k you in the face with sure strike.
see? sms got fucked.

 

debuffs such as infernal blight , shackle of vulnerability etc etc so no it still works bb. Dispel is only used to remove what buffs they have in the beginning because its an instant cast and makes it easier to burry silence its not so important to actually remove your buffs.

 

Would be so much easier if people stopped calling buff removal "dispel/debuff"

 

Ye i know but i was to lazy to actually write the skill names while using my phone XD.
