Wizards Skills.

[Thilak]

Hey guys, i been reading the wizard skills in wiki sections.
And noticed that most spells have long recast timer. Im just wondering if this info is official? Because i can't imagine a wizard sitting around 15 to 40 seconds to cast its higher level spells.

"AION: The Tower of Eternity is still under development by NCsoft, and any information related to the game is subject to change with the release of more information"

Got that quote right from the Wiki page. Ya gotta look carefully.

i think that info is old, i don't think skill have been updated

Even so, they might make cooldown high so you don't use the same skill over and over in a row.

Cooldowns are necessary to keep people like me from spamming my OP superlettninjamuffin skill.

As a general rule in MMOs, spells with higher cooldowns usually have much more potent effects for incredibly low/no cost(s) (1 hour cooldown class-based from Final Fantasy XI, for example). The spell cooldown is subject to change at this point -- it could change post-release for that matter -- and may be indicative of the relative power level of the ability.

Also bear in mind that Aion utilizes the Skill Chain system where activating an ability will grant access/bonuses to abilities further along the corresponding Skill Chain. This system could potentially apply to spells as well, which would dictate the cooldown timer for a given spell based on it's utilization in different sets of Skill Chains. There's little reason for alarm at this venue, rather, follow information as it comes out, and formulate a solid opinion at a later date.

Yeah, it is pretty old. I don't know how close those are to the current skills =\.

I'm sure they will be changed kind of like how people thought it was overpowered for rangers to have the movement impairing skill on a 2 second re-use timer, but in a vid i just watched the cooldown was obviously longer than that.

[DeftAce]

They just recently updated and did a balance of characters. I'm going to be compiling information all this week and updating the Wiki.

I'll post here if I find anything

[Thilak]

Thankz guys, makes more sense now. 40 seconds to recast upper level spells sounds rather long. I also noticed, rangers have more 2hand weapon skills than bow skills lol.

I'm still waiting for the official and finnal set of skill (ok, i know it's never final).
