[dev1049] New weapon skills

Test Server is cool, but it seems like forever the SCH update has been on it, and not added to the main server.

Truth be told i'm mostly interested to see if RDM gains access to any of them. Doubt it though.

can you say whether they're intended to be gained from skill level or via quests? and whether they're going to fall under the general job-specific class of WS (ie: have to either be main or sub certain jobs to have access, like how thf only gets raging fists if it subs mnk or pup, or how rdm can't get vorpal blade without subbing war/drk/pld/blu/etc)?

Wow, all of these new weaponskills look amazing! I particularly love polearm (jump WS? Huzzah! Plus it just looks awesome), and sword looks pretty cool too. Staff? That looks awesome to beat people with.

I have a question though - are these job-specific? Because I only saw PLD on the sword one, and I'm hoping that BLU (and possibly RDM) will get in on the action too.

I love the RNG ones the most. Looks to really pack a punch. BTW, 5 arrows in animation suggests 5-hit. If it ends up using 5 arrows, that WS would get expensive fast without something like unlimited shot.

All-in-all, they're totally epic. My gut tells me their sole purpose is damage, but knowing how things typically turn out, watch them be more elemental WS... ._.

14 WS in total, 20 jobs so I'm sure multiple jobs share these. It'd stand to reason you'd need relatively high combat skill in order to use them, just putting them out of the use of any job lower than B skill.

So glad to see NEW animations, and not just the same character movements with different flashing lights. The only pick i have about the video, is the Paladin seemed to be a bit more agile than I would have through. It looks more like a dancer WS than something a PLD should be doing.

Maybe the Paladins should go hit the dance floor and show the Dancers what's up?!

So looking at the effects on the new GS WS, it seems to have some similarities to Sudden Lunge, which is kind of a common trend among Stun animations (stun itself is just rings closing in on a target).

5 hit Stun WS with each hit increasing stun length? K.
