    With the much-awaited level cap increase rapidly approaching, the development team is putting the finishing touches on a new set of weapon skills that promise to be formidable additions to players' arsenals of abilities.

    Today, we're pleased to be able to offer a video sneak preview of the fourteen visually striking new skills that will be joining the fray with the upcoming version update.

    Feast your eyes on the wonders that await!

      I love the name "Flash Nova"

      Also, the GAxe WS is very cool looking!

        Those looked sweet. The Sanguine one was pretty nifty.. looked like it had a draining effect. The kick one was also very slick. One hand axe-arang, too cool. VERY surprised I could see the video at work. YAY!!!

        I wanna watch again to see if I can't see anything distinct regarding 75+ gears too.

              In my opinion, most of the weapon skills look kind of... Lame.

                A lot of them are re-using animations from existing WS with new graphics added...


                The GAX WS for example is the exact same animation as Steel Cyclone. The MNK was Dragon Kick, Staff was Retribution...


                Here's hoping they don't suck. I'm really curious about the new GKT WS, was sort of hoping for another multi-hit (or a multi-hit for Greatsword finally seriously) but most of these, if not all, appear to be magic damage. Finally, is it my imagination or did the taru using the new Gun WS actually smack the mob with the gun 1st and then fire?

                    That's what it looked like to me as well. Pistol whip then pointblank to the face. Some of the weaponskills look cool, some look very underwhelming, such as the katana and dagger ones. I'm more interested in how they're obtained and what inevitable timesinks will be involved.

                      I wish the polearm one had been more flashy, since it's my weapon of choice. With the gun one, I wonder if you have to within melee range to use it since the animation shows hitting first?

                        GKT looked lame, imHo... and single stab too.

                          Sword and to a much lesser extent Gktn were the only ones that looked even vaguely interesting.

                          oh well, not like it really matters how interesting the WS are, not like anyone uses them strategically.
