Increased instance drops will be nice, will be cool to not spend hours and hours running the same instance over and over again for just kinah. Some of their changes to classes are nice too, though it seems the majority of class changes will make things pretty unbalanced between casters and melee. I'm not totally thrilled at the stigma vendors, mainly because I feel like you should have to kinda put some work into farming them. Not really into the whole "gear rental" thing either. Gear rentals and stigma vendors in addition to the nerfs to existing content kinda makes me wonder if it'll end up going the "WoW route" where everything just got watered down and too casual.

i agree with this. will be so much taugher for assassins now to gank sorcs/sms now that all classes will have a small unwavering devotion to pop. Plus they never really stood a chance against plate wearers, now it'll be even worst.

As a templar i'm really happy about the fact it will be easyer to tank shits (healer won't build aggro anymore on CCd mobs and an increase threat skill)

stigma vendor ? that really sucks ... now all the chanters around are gonna have recovery spell and craps like that, and they won't be worth shit anymore ... yay

thx

I dislike the idea that you can buy any stigma you want from a npc now. Kinda ruins it for those who worked hard for their rare stigmas.

Also I dislike the fact that they're buffing up clerics too. Giving back magical crit for sorcs and other casters, making sorcs even more OP as they are on western aion.
The fact that clerics can have even greater healing than they have now also screws up the chances other classes have to beat them.

Yeah, the 7 sec "UD" skill that all classes will have is kind of dumb, will be very similar to WoW's human/undead racial skill. I'm glad for the templar skills, but still wishing they did a bit more... we basically just got slightly increased accuracy, threat, and a second Empyrean Armor-like skill. And I love how all the casuals/lazy people who are for the stigma vendors cock block the people who are selling stigmas currently.
