Does anyone know if this includes Forms?
::Edit::
If so, this skill will be nerfed for sure due to the fact that you would be able to keep one up indefinitely.

Hmm, but now we need to find out what the 10 Kurzick/Luxon skills are. I'd imagine they're the same for both sides, since they said only 20 skills have been added total. I'll have to get the title to rank 1 first though. This is probably going to increase the number of people doing FFF.

Thats because (if i am correct) they added an additional two titles before r4 so you can get 10 skills from the ranks...

Yes they are but remember its only for PvE

Personally i think its a great update

I love this Sin skill. I've been hoping for a Sin skill that boosts attack rate rather than having to go to a secondary for it. Woot a-net!
If you hang around cavalon/House zu Heltzer long enough I'm sure you'll find out what they all do. I have the same problem with no rank to buy/see the skills so i can't say.
Are these skills character or account based? What i mean to say is, if i unlock it can i use a Tome on another character to get the skill?

These skills are too overpowered, even for PvE. I'm not going to elaborate right now, right now I'm going to bed. -.-
I'll write my thoughts tommorow.
still, those skills are overpowered

I'm really loving that sin skill...it's just..awesome :D
Shame that my only r10 sunspear is my monk, and I don't see her using that spell any time soon o.O

Studies show that 92% of teens listen to rap. If you are part of the 8% that listens to real music then add this to your signature.

Think you'll be able to run with Avatar of Dwayna to droks, with the derv skill? Every skill you use ends a hex, and you gain 50+ health. I might have to try this.

If you want to talk to me, you can just add me as a friend on X-Fire, I don't mind, in fact I'd like that. Just let me know who you are on the forums. XD

I MIGHT have to test that skill out, it should technically allow me to farm areas that usually require triple chop and cyclone axe, since I dont have factions and cant get tripple chop. Also, in a decent group, a spammable +18 dmg attack is quite nice, combine that with dolyak and live vicariously = high armor, health each attack and a spammable semi-aoe attack.

And Balthazaar's form......instead of having to save it for the tricky parts, just use the new dervish skill and run the whole way to droks with +40 armor and 30% faster movement. I BET they are gonna nerf this skill....probably make it only affect skills that are recharging, not disabled skills.

Weird thing about this skill is it has a 1 second recharge, but I could see it replacing triple chop in a farming build. It's works pretty well, I used it tonight for Hell's Precipice, though it probably wasn't best suited for that mission, not too many groups.

Yeah, after comparing it to triple chop, it could replace it....triple chop, 10 second recharge, +42 dmg at 16 axe(not very common for farming). Whirlwind Attack, 1 second recharge, speed of a normal axe attack, 1.33 seconds......max sunspear title, +20 damage, you can use it at least 3 times within the same 10 second recharge of a single triple chop, which means a total of +60 dmg over the same time. Also, thats not counting the first attack, before you start counting the 10 second recharge of triple chop, meaning 4(4.xx to be exact) whirlwind attacks to 1 triple chop, meaning a total of almost twice the damage, in the same amount of time. Though you must consider that only lasts while there are 6 or more enemies, then you cant spam it as much, but probably still more often than 1 triple chop.
EDIT: Just realized it doesnt recharge itself, but this + cyclone + this again = higher dmg output than triple chop still.

If you think about it, when you kill a boss it will recharge the avatars too, and the effect of killing a boss is worded the same as this skills wording is. So it might not be nerfed. If it does get nefred, I could see it either taking all of the dmg off, or just making the avaters the excetion to the recharge.

IF you read whirlwind attack carefully, it seems to function more like hundred blades than cyclone axe -
"target foe and foes adjacent to target"
rather than -
"all adjacent foes"
Reccommend testing on trolls outside droks in NM - see if it hits all of them or just the few in front next to your target . . . .
EDIT: read it wrong, works like cyclone axe
the assassin skill sounds nice on a warrior, as you critical more than you think. . . .

You are all wrong, Forms are DISABLED, so even though it's recharged, you still have to wait for it to become enabled again, so no... this wont work for forms.

Incorrect:
Whirlwind Attack:
| QUOTE | | Attack target and adjacent foes. Each attack that hits deals +5...17 damage. |
Triple Chop:
| QUOTE | | Attack target foe and adjacent foes. Each attack that hits deals +10...34 damage. |
The ONLY difference in the wording between the two, is triple chop says foe, whirlwind attack doesnt(which technically means you should be able to use it on a pet, or any other target), but I'm sure thats just a wording mistake.
Also, I tried it out already, it hits your target and everything around you....it was hitting foes behind me, on the opposite side of my target, which hundred blades cant do.
