DP Skills-75%mana vs. faster cast. speed

[Coretex]

I read that Elyoss sorcerers will have a DP skill which regenerates 75% of their total mana. Asmodians, on the other hand, will be able to cast faster for some 10 seconds and spells will cost 0 MP during that time. If I am correct, other skills will be the same. I wanted to play Elyoss sorcerer, but now, Asmodian seems better because of this DP skill. Doesnt it make Asmodian mage better in PvP than Elyoss one? Will you consider this skill when choosing faction for your sorcerers? Thanks for every reasonable answer

I'm pretty sure they are changing the DP to class specifics. Maybe something like Sorcerer's get the spammability, and SM's get the regeneration. Honestly, for PvP, the speed and free spells sounds nice, for PvE, there's no rush, so might as well grab the extra mana.

[Coretex]

You mean that Elyoss and Asmodian sorcerers will have the same DP skill? But if they dont and you want to have the best possible PvP sorcerer, then you probably need to choose asmodian,right?

DP skills are obviously going through a lot of balancing. Probably a lot of nerfing once the game is released too.

Well the only reason I'm going asmodian is because of the asmodian specific DP skill. i'd take faster casting and no mana cost spells for 10 secs over mana regen. Even if they do change it, I might still be asmodian, just for the sheer fact that everyone is going elyos and I like to be the underdog.

I have no idea how many people are going to play elyoss or asmodians. The thing is, I prefer Elyoss because of the fact that they look better (to me) and that they start in grassy areas full of light. Not that I saw Asmodian starting locations, but I assume that they are going to be pretty dark and depressive (only my opinion, I am not saying that either asmodians or their starting locations cant be good for someone else). However, if the DP skills are going to be 75% mana regen VS faster casting speed, I will definitely go for an Asmodian sorcerer. Imagine two top geared sorcerers both maximum level, one elyoss and the other asmodian, and they go to PvP each other. Lets assume that they are equally good players regarding PvP. In my opinion, the asmodian will always win the fight thanks to the fact that he would be able to cast faster, while elyoss sorcerer will have no advantage (of course in some other situation when the sorcerers meet with no mana, elyoss would have an advantage, but its a different scenario). I hope they change it so that I can start Elyoss sorcerer, but if they dont I will most likely go for Asmodian because of this one skill

If I don't sleep/poly/suspend u in the air first.

If asmodian manages to cast DP skill before you sleep him, then he will sleep you first due to the faster casting. If Elyoss sleeps asmodian when he casts DP, then Elyoss is shorter by one stunning spell. Either way, it is an advantage which makes Asmodian mages better in PvP. Hope they will change it coz I really want to play Elyoss . Am not trying to argue with anyone, I just find this fact interesting and important for a proper choice of character. This game seems to be PvP based a lot, so this kinda matters in my opinion.

Is there a skills list for each class and what they do? I see you guys naming off a few things.

Sorcerer skills in Aionsource's wiki or...

My translations of Sorcerer skills (with skill chains) on my legion's newsletter

[Vent]

I've read through that once, and I've a few questions for some time now. Maybe this thread isn't where this all belongs, I apologize if this is the case.
I can't load your Legion's website for some reason. I know that some personal websites are being filtered here in China. So everything I ask here is based on the information on the wiki.

About Magical Regeneration, it says 'Uses a potion and regenerates 72 mana points in 3 seconds'. Is it literally using a potion or just something in the description? Is it actually just some 'free' MP?

What does all those status effects do? I see paralysis (not being able to attack?), movement decrease (how much is let's say '20' of the total?) and confusion (inverted WASD movement?).

I also see Meteor Impact: Buries the target under a solid rock. Uses 2000 DP. Right but what does it do?

Anything in here you can answer for us tylendel?

Thanks in advance.

All the info here is based on CBT2 because the skill lists have not been updated for CBT3, whether Korean or otherwise.

The 'Magical Regeneration' is a type of MP recovery skill. It consumes 2 'herbs' to recover the specific amount of MP stated and the cooldown is listed as 16 seconds.

Paralysis - Unable to move; Movement decrease - It is probably a certain percentage of movement speed, but exact percentage differs by skill and cannot be confirmed now; My skill translation of 'confusion' has it as 'stunned' instead, so I'm not too sure on this as well.

Meteor Impact is a DP skill (which might be changed) that (probably) has an animation of falling rocks and my translation has it doing damage (of unknown quantity) to surrounding targets. (Anyway, all DP skills for all classes that I've translated don't specify the exact damage done to the targets.)

Hope this is useful. ^^

That sure is, thanks.

We'll see when more info comes out I guess.
