[HollowSith]

Your the man!

 

[Neotetro]

Awesome Kain But I have a question:

So I was previously a Ninja, does this mean I must master it again? Or did I simply gain some skills?

 

[kriskills]

Cause Ninjas are better than thieves =)

Love the New Ninja class, it's going to be amazing. They needed a merging, they were pretty much the same

 

[Diffuse]

Are bards going to be a rogue spec then?

 

[HollowSith]

Cause Ninjas are better than thieves =)

I beg to differ.

 

[kevinlive]

lvl 50 theives will probably become a lvl 50 ninja. Right?

 

[Danda]

Are bards going to be a rogue spec then?

Yes

But my question is what will happen to the current Thieves?
Will they automatically turn into bards or will they be given a choice to put their current exp into Ninjas?

 

[kriskills]

They will become level 50 ninjas.

 

[Diffuse]

Is this live already or when will it be? Also I assume there will be a new title for the first master bard? So dissapointed I haven't mastered rogue yet

 

[RedKhan]

Someone send me the money to change to Rogue/Bard.

I'll be the Jon Bon Jovi of Herocraft!

 

[kongrave]

Finally have more skills to work with at earlier levels.

[Xawia]

Awesome Kainzo ^^ I love your job ^^ Thats the reason ill keep voting even im declined

 

[RandomAcronym]

@Danda
When I first read the skill list I saw Quicken as Chicken...I like it.

Edit: Really Xawia?
at least I have AdBlockPlus....

 

[volture777]

I like the new changes, but I see one glaring problem. Consider changing the bard's move speed buff "quicken" to something else entirely. Right now, pvp is relatively balanced because all classes basically travel at the same speed (minor exceptions, of course). Assuming quicken is faster than sprint, ninjas and whatnot being able to chase every other bardless group/person down seems to be potentially balance breaking.

Consider how aggravating it would be as someone solo to be chased down by 2-3 people who have quicken and roots.

 

[RumpTroll]

Seems to be a VERY good support class, but not a very good 1vs1 class. The buffs and pulse will be very usefull in big fights.

 

[Shortyy_oD]

A Bard is someone who sings Melodies or something like that, not a fighter haha. Anyways, Ninjas are going to be ridiculously OP compared to other classes. All the have to do is smoke and hit you 4 times in the back and your dead.

 

[HollowSith]

Nah takes more then 4 times with the new HP increases. Now we are finally on par with Samurai's!
