This is credited to Elliot (thank you for your continuous translation efforts!)

Elliot - Hey guys.
I did my best to look up skills in AionArmory.com before naming them myself. This looked so much better in microsoft words. I apologize in advance if this looks a little messy. Oh and the [Official] tag means what they are right now in official servers.

edit - These changes were applied to official on 26th
__________________________________________________ ________________
On 21st, there were some changes made to caster classes and rangers. The patch notes did not contain actual numbers, so we went ahead and compared tool tips in test server with the ones from official server.

Ranger
1. They added +10% Bow damage, +100 Crit damage to [Dash of the Wind]
a.[Official] - Increases movement by 18% for 1 minute.
b.Comment ? This stigma was originally learned just to get access to the next level stigma. With the current changes, this is going to be a CD that rangers will be popping on every refresh. Combined with existing 20% physical damage buff [Blessing of Bow], this is going to increase Ranger burst quite a bit.

Sorcerer
1. The duration of the spell [Gain Mana] was decreased from 10 seconds to 5 seconds and it will yield greater amount of mana.
a. Comment ? Right now it recovers total of 1,224 mana in 10 seconds. With the changes, it will cover total of 1,812 mana in 5 seconds.

2. The casting time of [Sleep Cloud] was shortened from 2 seconds to 1 second. It will have longer cooldown- increased from 2 minutes to 3 minutes.
a. Comment ? This is currently the hot issue in the sorcerer community. While its faster casting will increase survivability, you?ll be able to use it less frequently.

Spiritmaster
1. [Enmity Swap] had its cooldown reduced from 2 minutes to 1 minute.

2. [Streghtening Spirit: Recovery] had its cooldown reduced from 10 minutes to 3 minutes.
a. Comment ? Like the ranger skill mentioned above, this stigma was only acquired to gain access to the next level stigma, but this will actually be useful by itself as well with 3 min cooldown.

3. The number of winds summoned by [Summon: Wind servant] was increased from 3 to 4 and their chance to hit has been increased.

4. [Strenghtening of Spirit: Armor of Enhancement] will now also have +1000 hit rating bonus.
a. [Official] ? Increases physical and magical damage of the spirit by 40% and all elemental resistance by 10% and spellpower by 400 and movement by 30%.
b. Comment ? A lot of the spiritmasters complained about their spirits? attacks missing as the opponents improved in gear. This will somewhat solve those problems.

5. [Bind of Element] now includes a 50% casting speed debuff and have higher chance to land
a. [Official] - Decreases attack speed and all elemental resistance by 200 for 30 seconds
b. Comment ? Oh nos for Clerics and Sorcerers

6. [Command: Act of Destruction] had its cooldown reduced from 90 seconds to 60 seconds.
a. [Official] ? Commands the spirit to use its unique skill against the target. Water ? Water damage spell, Wind ? Wind damage dot, Earth ? Earth damage spell, decreases movement speed, Fire ? Fire damage spell, Stone ? Fire damage spell, Hurricane ? Wind damage dot.

7. The way Damage Over Time spell damages were applied has been changed. The base damage has been lowered but their damage will now increase with spellpower.

Cleric
1. [Grace of Emprean Lord] had its cooldown reduces from 5 minutes to 3 minutes.
a. [Official] ? Spells do no cost mana for 12 seconds.

2. [Wrath of Earth] had its damage increased.
a. [Official] ? Inflicts 233 Earth damage and causes 259 damage every 3 seconds for 9 seconds

3. [Summon ? Divine Energy] had its damage increased from 900 to 1,620.

5. [Word: Pain] now includes a 400 magic resistance debuff
a. [Official] ? Inflicts 456 earth damage, and 507 damage every 12 seconds for 2 minutes.

Chanter
1. [Chant: Wrath] ?s casting speed penalty was lowered from 50% to 20%
a. [Official] ? Increases physical damage on self by 15% for 30 minutes and decreases casting speed by 50%.
