Hopefully this new update will bring more population to the server, less QQ on the forums, and more content for level 60 people. If you think this patch is not for you, then I think it time to move on to the next game.

Please note, some of this are from Korean and may or may not reach NA.


Stamina System and Improved Warrior and Lancer tanking

As previously discussed in an interview, the Stamina Bar will be introduced to further enhance tanking abilities.

Players have a fixed ammount of Stamina to use, it regenerates slowly and enemy attacks help to regain them.




With the addition of Stamina, Warriors won't neccessarily need to actively rely on their MP consuming evading skill cooldowns as with the usage of stamina evading will be more fluid.

New Warrior Skills ( Cross Defence )

Cross your swords to defend yourself from incoming frontal attacks. The maximum damage value that can be blocked depends on your equipment. Skill is used just like the Lancer's blocking skill, as long as you keep pressing the button, you will block.






Smokre Agressor Backstab

Summon a spirit from 15 meters that takes over your aggro and you stab the target in the back stunning it briefly.



Rupture

Rotate your body and swing your blades at the enemy. Rupture uses the stacks to explode and debuff the target, debuffed enemies will take 25% more damage. The skill needs 5 stacks to be used, the more stacks you have the more damage you can make.




New Lancer Skills

Overwhelm

Jump with your shield towards the enemy and slam it to the ground knocking down the target. Overwhelm can be used faster after certain skills.



Backstep

Exactly the same skill as the current one (just for clarification, same skill as the one Sorcerers and Priests have).




New Dungeons and Instances

Argon Meldithia

According to the reports of the Federation, in the western part of Granarkus a new harvesting facility has been built by the Argon, you are to stop them at all costs.




new boss with new patterns


Shiruka Passage

After the destruction of Thulsa's laboratory Malachy continues to conduct his researches and studies about the Core in this passage that has been well separated from outsiders. The crystal lens has to stay intact, defend it!

This instance works pretty much like the Temple of Temerity, defend the lens and do additionaly tasks to get rewards.




Shandra Manaia

The Argon Queen herself can be found deep in her Argon fortress, isolated from the world she controls the ongoing war viciously. How much will she sacrifice for the sake of the 'Creator'?




Sealing, Luxing without Stress ( An improvement to the Enchantment system )

Allthough this is not new to us, it is new to korean players. No more stress with enchanting and those random bonuses, you can now lock the bonuses you truly need and enchant as intended.




Battle Grounds reintroduced and an improved Raid UI

BGs will be reintroduced and from 10vs10 the numbers have been pushed up to 15vs15 with a cross server party matching mechanic.

New BG maps will be introduced and new set of rules are on their way too.

A new and better Nexus system is coming with 2 new raid contents called 'Nexus Dimension' (tentative name). This will feature new rewards while doing the 3 stages of the invasion.
The instance will feature new boss monsters as well as new attack patterns.

Both normal and hard modes are expected.

oh okay, I guess everyone know all of this by now.

And here video of Warrior blocking.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=bCMl0dVKk8k

Indeed, this has been posted before, but for all those that haven't seen it maybe we will now have another giant debate over warriors and lancers being unfair and which will be useless and warrior players being [filtered] at tanking, etc, etc.

Oh those were so fun. Let's do all of that over again!

Which one of us gets to make the first thread? :D

Can anyone confirm that the warrior changes are actually still going live? I swear I read that they put it to test and it broke too much so they went back to the drawing board.

I have heard this as well, made them unkillable in PvP, I think the simplest fix would be to make warriors block work only against monsters and fail to block against player characters, I wish I was Korean so I could suggest this to their devs.

First Ive seen of the armors! What exactly if the Black Edition? Obtained in game? Or a costume skin? What?!

I wish they would stop trying to sell warrior as "the class to play".
They need to fix the damn berserker and archer ASAP.
