  • Video Preview of New Weapon Skills! (11/29/2011)



    A full set of fourteen new weapon skills are scheduled to go live in the next test server update, and today we've brought you a sneak peek at five of them.
    Take a look, then try them out for yourself on the test server later this week!

    Check out the video here.
    (*The final release version of the weapon skills may differ slightly from the development content presented here.)

    I have a couple of images of some of the new weapon skills that will be implemented. They look pretty impressive if I do say so myself Once all the testing has been finalized, we’ll be putting them onto the test server for you all to try out.

    Without further ado...

    Great Katana:
    Tachi Shoha


    Archery:
    Apex Arrow


    Scythe:
    Entropy


    Dagger:
    Exenterator


    *Please note that the English weapon skill names have not yet been finalized and are subject to change.

    In before Red Mages talk about Requiescat!

    . . . wait, I am a Red Mage, and Requiescat looks pretty darn cool. The Elvaan makes it look comically Super Sentai, though.

    Resolution mithra version looks super cool. Hope tarutarus get to do the spinflip, too.

    On another note, requiescat en pesto et quattro formaggio.

      I lol'd.

      Entropy makes me want to start a Tarutaru DRK called Maxwellsdemon.

        The DRG one almost makes me want to take up DRG... for the simple fact that Tarutarus do a fucking frontflip to deliver the final blow. F*** Yeah Taru Flips.

        Apex Arrow also makes me kinda wanna take up RNG. What a money sink that job is. I really like the way the kick-back from bow knocks you back... I wonder how drastic it is when it's used by a Taru...

        Lastly... Exenterator... if it's available to COR, alsome... if it's only DNC and THF... no thanks. Wings is a nice touch though.

              Why does the Mithra make them all look even better?

              Also... Does anyone else think the Great Katana one might be a Three Fold attack? Finally, another multi hit GK Weapon skill?

                Note to Yyg:

                Your video wasn't posted in this thread yet. I objected simply because I couldn't understand why you didn't simply post that video in this thread, rather than start a whole new thread for it.

                              Btw, are we sure RDM gets Requiescat?

                              Kinda looks like a PLD-onry ws to me. <_<;



                              PS > If RDM can actually use it I'm glad at least they didn't call it "The Snorlax".
