[dev1049] New weapon skills

[Kristal]

I am back from a nice Thanksgiving break where I ate way too much, and I have some goodies for you all!

I have a couple of images of some of the new weapon skills that will be implemented. They look pretty impressive if I do say so myself Once all the testing has been finalized, we’ll be putting them onto the test server for you all to try out.

Without further ado...

Great Katana:
Tachi Shoha
Attachment 1001

Archery:
Apex Arrow
Attachment 1002

Scythe:
Entropy
Attachment 1003

Dagger:
Exenterator
Attachment 1004

*Please note that the English weapon skill names have not yet been finalized and are subject to change.

Exenterator... or Exenteration? Evisceration's big brother ;D

I hope automatons aren't left out though. One for each frame would rock ;D

* Valoredge : Vacuum Slash
* Harlequin/Stormwaker : Event Horizon
* Sharpshot : Quantum Tunneler

Tbh Automaton are fine with the WSs they received a while ago. Even Magic Mortar is fine after the fix that is about to go live.
My only concern there is with the retarded priority-by-maneuver system.
Wish you could override that somehow through a menu option somewhere and tell him to use the max level WS no matter the maneuver

Are you SURE about that?... It would make my day to see an auto jump 50ft in the air to cleave some mob in two...or maybe put a couple of acrobatic flips in there... New flashy puppet animations would be awesome. I'm greedy when it comes to pup though..I won't lie.

That is hilariously awesome how ElvaanM tosses his bow into the air in Apex Arrow. Also, so many skyrocketing Galka jumps.

Heh.. I wonder what the H2H one will be then... Meteoric Dropkick? More galkan death-from-above!

I keep rewatching this video, and it almost seems like the races gained their own identities in the animations for once, the mithra movements seem graceful, many flips, the leg lift on the staff twirl, while the galka has simple powerful swings, evident mostly in the greatsword animation, then the elvaan animations are cocky, bow toss

great work SE animators

Massive fist outline appears over the shoulder of the automaton, the automaton then makes a punch motion and the fist slams into the enemy

Or, since we're talking PUP v2.0 here, the automaton pulls out a pair of sunglasses, puts them on, and everything in front receives massive coolness damage

These new weaponskills look amazing!!!

Taking bets this ends up like the new pacts/bst master pets where instead of the ws showing up you just get.

"."

Then a week later you get a responce "oh its not working? well look into it!"

Staff looks awesome! Hope the dmg is better than retribution.

I hope it is not EX, and that it actually deals high physical damage not based on your STR and attack. A mage WS you could call it, if there ever existed one.
