Upcoming Skill Update from China
Date: 13/01/2021

New
Skill patch has been released in Perfect World
China. While we wait to have news about the
patch, let’s see a preview of the new skills.
Prehistoric Frenzy
Get a new level of the skill that give immunity
to all bad status, instead antistun only.
A new
level of Barbarian ultimate skill. At this level
we enter in a “Faith” status (not confirmed). If
true, it is a big step up because finally we
don’t risk to overwrite antistun from Violent
Triumph and we can’t be interrupted/purged while
casting.
Bestial
Onslaught
Becomes
a Celestial Saint skill and glyph-able.
There are no details yet about the glyph effect,
but it is confirmed that Celestial Saint version
of Bestial Onslaught give critical hit. Means
that Sage barbarians will get critical hit buff
same as Demon. Probably the end of Demon
barbarians since it was the only great advantage
against Sage.
Strength
of the Titan
The
critical hit buff now stacks with other buffs.
I think it is a fix that every Demon barbarian
is waiting from 10 years! Now Strength of Titan
have an unique buffi con and can stack with
Bestial Onslaught.
Raging
Slap
Has
chance to remove 1 buff from the target.
Well...
Raging Slap is a big tool that almost every
Barbarian use, no matter the build. Deal damage,
force a player to attack you, give a shield and
now has a chance to purge 1 buff. Welcome!
Clean
Sweep
Has
chance to remove 2 buffs from the target.
From 20%
chance of full purge to chance to remove 2
debuffs sound a big nerf. It will probably
worth only if the chance to purge 2 buffs is way
higher than 20% (% not confirmed yet).
Surf Impact
Taunts
PvE targets.
New aggro
skill to use between argent Raging
Slap and Flesh Ream. This way every Barbarian
can finally hold aggro.
Invoke
the Spirit
Removes
speed debuff. Ethereal glyph applies Invoke
effect to allies. Increases cooldown to 120
seconds.
Interesting, but can be good or bad, depend the
moment. I think that can be very strong in small
PvP (3v3 Arena for example) but very hard to use
in mass-pvp (Territory War, etc) because of the
increased cooldown.
Alacrity
of the Beast
Gains 15
meters range and immobilize the target. Increases
cooldown to 12 seconds.
This
is probably the best news! I watched how it work
in a video from a chinese player, Alacrity now
allows to jump on the target from 15 meters and
immobilize it (probably immobilize still at 50%
chance).
Finally we will be able to reach a target
without waste Ancestral Rage or Violent Triumph
and Occult Ice. |
